“Jan Howlett is a gifted mentor, teacher and administrator. An educator with many years of experience, Jan has developed an approach to teaching that nurtures each child, supports individual learning styles and fosters imagination and creativity. But Jan also recognizes the need to teach the basics, to create a safe, structured environment in which to learn, and to report honestly and frequently to parents. She understands the complexity of our children’s lives and the pressures they are under. I really don’t think our children could be in better hands.”
- Marta, Parent of student

“I will always remember her unique assignments that made everything make complete sense! I loved being in Jan’s grade.” - Maria, Grade 6 student

“Grade 3 with Jan was a wonderful experience for all of us. The imaginative projects thrilled our son, while we were excited by the solid skills he developed and the confidence it gave him. He is full of enthusiasm for learning. She is an inspired and inspiring teacher.”
- Torbjorg, Parent of student

“Jan Howlett was our daughter’s teacher in Grade 6 and did an excellent job of preparing her for the future. Jan was instrumental in her being accepted into UTS the following year. We moved our son to the school where Jan taught so he could have the benefit of her teaching skills. He was later accepted into the gifted program at Deer Park School.”
- Alex, Parent of two students

“After two decades in teaching, I met a true professional who was prepared to cultivate her students’ growth to extraordinary lengths. Jan’s students work to the highest standards and expectations. I am delighted to see that Jan has focused her talents in her own school. Truly, her students will be fortunate in joining her in an inspired quest for knowledge.”
- Margaret Thatcher, Teacher

“Jan is a teacher who gives kids a chance to choose. I’ve improved in so many things I needed to work on. I’ve read 5 novels in three months. It is easier for me to write stories because I know so many new words. I go to Jan to learn and have fun.”
- Carlos, Grade 4 student
