. . : History

Peel Montessori School’s journey began in September 1992 when we welcomed 12 casa students (3 and 4 year olds) and 8 students from grades 1 to 3. We occupied one large room on the lower level of a church. As our specialized educational program, nurturing environment, and positive atmosphere grew in popularity, our enrolment outgrew our facilities at the church.

In 2000, we moved to a new school designed with children in mind. We are currently situated on a one-acre lot and operating from a 20,000 sq. ft. school setting which includes a 3,000 sq. ft. gymnasium, spacious classrooms with plenty of natural light, a library and an outdoor environment which children enjoy and utilize to complement their in-class studies.

The Clarkson Village area was chosen for its natural habitat beauty. From classrooms, children enjoy the sight of squirrels, butterflies, birds and mature trees. We are close to numerous parks, Rattary Marsh, Bradley Museum and libraries. It feels like the perfect home away from home school environment.

Our community of children include families from the
Peel, Mississauga, Oakville and Etobicoke areas.

. . : Philosophy

At Peel Montessori School, it is our belief that education is a never-ending process of experiences. Experiences are attained in various ways – formal teachings, out-of-school activities, hands-on opportunities, and social interaction. Our philosophy embodies appreciating a life-long joy of learning, placing value on educating the whole child - intellectually, socially, personally, and physically in order to inspire students in becoming productive members of society having acquired integrity, a sense of responsibility and leadership skills that focus on peace.

Peace education, building community spirit, leadership qualities, and values of a good citizen are emphasized daily in order to maintain a positive environment which is pertinent to the well-being of each of our students.

…: What we offer your children in a private school environment

At Peel Montessori School, we offer the best well-rounded program in a safe, nurturing and exciting environment that fascinates boys and girls alike. We attract the best students because of our dedication in delivering a unique educational program that supports the developing child’s need to self-master and discover through positive guidance and support. Our enthusiastic school community and teachers place emphasis on academic excellence, and the development of self-discipline, self-confidence, self-esteem and interdependent relationships as a means of preparing children for life as an adult.

Your child will receive individualized attention as needed and learns to work in small and large group situations.

The way your child learns and works at Peel Montessori School is similar to the way you work in your environment:

• in a mixed age group
• on an individual and group basis
• experiences peer teaching
• completes work to the best of his / her ability
• moves about from exercise to exercise
• communicates and/or solves situations with their peers in a constructive manner, and
• of course snacks in order to maintain energy levels.

At the end of the day they look forward to telling you all about their experiences. Montessori is truly preparation for life. The only difference is that everyone around your child is positive and inspiring him/her to succeed, to move forward and up the ladder of learning.

Peel Montessori School is making a difference one child at a time.

Children enjoy learning in a warm, supportive and energetic school community where every classroom beams with natural light and an array of enriched exercises which are strategically organized. The Montessori materials are scientifically developed to meet the needs of each individual student at all levels. Students are expected to work in an atmosphere of mutual respect, co-operation, and to develop a sense of community and acceptance for individual differences.
