Key insights from our research

  • For the math-based university courses, which are my strongest, doing A-Levels at Fieldstone gave me more knowledge and preparation. I am now in the engineering science program at the University of Toronto, which is very fast-paced and advanced. And I’ve noticed that those coming from the IB Programme and A-Levels tend to do noticeably better than those coming in from the Ontario curriculum.
    —From Interview with Fieldstone School alum: Adham Ragab.
  • Our son managed both the Cambridge program and the regular Ontario curriculum. That was done seamlessly, we thought. He got a lot of support from teachers for that period, and he was able to do exceptionally well. Fieldstone is a school that believes in academic excellence. It’s a school that lives its values and its principles.
    —From Interview with Fieldstone School parents: Dwayne and Uchenwa.

In the upper school, students continue their Cambridge studies through IGCSE and A Level programming while simultaneously earning credits towards their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). Our signature Cambridge-Ontario Dual Programme provides students with limitless opportunities to extend their learning and achieve advanced standing in universities worldwide."

Message from school leadership

David Butcher, Director

Fieldstone was founded with two goals in mind. The first was to provide a strong foundation of knowledge upon which each student could build as they move into adult life. The second goal was to create a strong sense of self-worth and self-esteem within each student. The curriculum is used as a vehicle for accomplishing both of these goals. Students will grow in knowledge and self-confidence by being constantly challenged to achieve goals that appear to be slightly beyond their reach. Fieldstone students are presented with academic tasks that they may consider too difficult for themselves. With the guidance of their teachers in a caring and nurturing fashion, students find that indeed they can do what they thought they could not. As a result, their confidence grows and they willingly, in fact, eagerly accept new challenges.  

At Fieldstone, we see not the child we meet, but rather who that child will become.
