Founder’s Note

Founder/Directress

“Hello there,

My name is Irene, a teacher and a mother to two beautiful children, Aeon and Sage.

When my husband and I decided to have kids, the teacher in me began thinking about the kind of school I wanted for my children. 


As children, we develop our early sensibilities towards the world from home. As an educator, I realized the school’s role in the development of these sensibilities. This became the key inspiration to build Cascades International School by merging the elements of a house, school and home. 


At Cascades, our house is more than a structure; it is a space where children will feel safe and comfortable to explore. Our school goes beyond prepackaged education; it respects the many ways a child can learn. Our home is more than a concept; it is a place where children will feel accepted, acknowledged and validated. 


We have so much to offer and we are so proud to welcome you at Cascades International School!

 

In our house, you will find well-designed facilities that ensure enriching experiences for children and parents alike. It provides areas for parents to work, relax and foster new friendships. In our school, you will find the most passionate teachers and staff, trained and equipped to provide children with the best education to help them succeed in life. In our home, you will find unique services, such as the in-school baby-sitting program. It provides help for parents by following the child’s routine at home within a healthy community.


Here you will find all types of learners, welcoming children with special needs. We promote diversity, celebrate individuality and respect every child’s learning process.


At Cascades International School, you will find a second home, the kind of school I want my own children to be in. “
