Who We Are

We are a specialized children’s learning centre for languages and arts located in the heart of Richmond. We strive to create classes which incorporate learning, fun and self-expression, while encouraging respect for one another and good behaviour. Our program’s primary mission is to provide fun and meaningful learning experiences through art, music and play activities, while developing important language skills. Small group learning and the low teacher-to-student ratio provide opportunities for your child to receive the attention and assistance which they need to learn the language well. The higher frequency of classes during the week also provides more opportunities for your child to learn the foreign language in a natural and fun class setting. We look forward to meeting your child at Thrive Learning Centre!

Our Value

At Thrive Learning Centre, we believe that a love for learning and exemplary character set the foundation of a successful child.

Therefore, we work hard to ensure that every child is:

Happy, confident and creative

Resilient and perseveres through challenges

Polite and respectful of self and others

A good communicator and listener

An active learner
