About
An Inspired Path for Your Developing Child
Integrated, Interdisciplinary Curriculum
Rather than siloed subjects, the program connects Language, Mathematics, Sciences, and the Arts, allowing students to see the relationship between fields of study for a more holistic understanding.
Collaborative Peer Teaching
Through multi-age groupings, students engage in cooperative learning and peer teaching — reinforcing their own knowledge while building essential communication and leadership skills.
Philosophy Over Mandates
While registered with the Ministry of Education, the program prioritizes the integrity of Montessori principles, meeting and often exceeding provincial guidelines by focusing on each student’s individual needs.
Our Programs
The Elementary Journey
Our classrooms are divided into three-year cycles, allowing children to grow and develop at their own pace.
Lower Elementary (Ages 6–9)
Students begin to look outside themselves and develop a strong desire for collaboration and peer groups.
Upper Elementary (Ages 9–12)
Children move toward greater abstraction and explore themes in greater depth as they prepare for the transition to our Middle School.
Our Curriculum
Beyond the Core Materials
Specialized programs that go beyond the core Montessori materials to ensure a well-rounded academic experience.
French Program
Students acquire French naturally through storytelling, theatre, and a gesture-based approach.
JUMP Math
We supplement Montessori manipulatives with the JUMP Math program to break complex concepts into achievable steps.
Health & Physical Education
Focused on mental health, skill development, cooperation and leadership rather than high-pressure competition — including cross-country and track meets, skiing, skating, and tennis.
Arts Programs
Dance, visual art, and music. Every spring, Elementary students manage and perform a show at a local theatre, building creative confidence and teamwork.
Student Information
