Middle School

Our new Middle School campus is located in a historic villa in the quiet hills of Fiesole about a 10 minute walk from our Elementary campus. Middle School students will be able to partake in many outdoor learning experiences throughout the year and fully benefit from the lush and private surroundings, as well as benefit from a brand new qualified staff of teachers, helping prepare the students to become leaders of tomorrow. All are well-versed in the Ontario Curriculum program and are able to support, motivate and facilitate learning for every child. 

Grades 6, 7 and 8 meet the needs of the learner in transition, addressing the intellectual, physical, social and emotional well-being of students to ensure a smooth transition to and preparation for our 4-year High School diploma program. We focus on both problem-based and project-based learning to solidify Math and Science skills, as well as fluency in English.
