At Rowntree Montessori Schools, our Elementary programmes for Grades 1–8 follow the Ontario Curriculum while offering an enriched, individualized approach. Small classes and personalized guidance help each student meet—and often exceed—the expectations for their grade level.
With high standards across all subjects and early introduction of key concepts, students develop their strengths, explore advanced learning, and grow into confident, independent learners throughout their elementary journey.
Rowntree Curriculum
At Rowntree Montessori Schools, our curriculum is designed to provide a balanced, engaging, and challenging education that nurtures academic excellence, creativity, and personal growth. We integrate the Ontario Curriculum with Montessori-inspired, hands-on learning experiences to ensure each student develops critical thinking, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
Academic Excellence
Our programmes set high standards across core subjects including Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Information Technology, and Health & Physical Education. Early introduction of key concepts and individualized instruction allow students to work at their own pace, explore their strengths, and achieve success at higher grade levels.
Holistic Development
Beyond academics, our curriculum emphasizes Arts, Music, Physical Education, and social-emotional growth. Cross-curricular projects, STEAM activities, and real-world learning opportunities foster creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving, preparing students to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
