With an accredited Montessori program, adapted to the developmental needs of each child, Curlew Montessori School fosters curiosity, autonomy, and intrinsic motivation in learning. Parents often describe the school as a second home, emphasizing its nurturing environment and strong community bonds. The low student-to-teacher ratios, and qualified teachers, are combined with the school’s commitment to providing a bright, spacious, and well-equipped learning environment. Key offerings include French as a second language, nutritious lunch and snack programs, and a large outdoor play space. Despite its small size, the school maintains a vibrant educational culture. Parents choose Curlew Montessori for its quality education, individualized and child-paced learning, and its supportive, beautiful facilities. The school aims to develop complete individuals, adapted to their time, place, and culture, in line with Maria Montessori's educational philosophy.
View full reportBalmoral Hall is one of those schools that perhaps doesn’t command as significant a profile in the world of private education in Canada, but it should. Established in 1901, it’s seen a few changes along the way, including moves and name changes—it was founded as Havergal College, then later known as Rupert's Land College—as well as amalgamation with the Riverbend School. It’s long been an expression of the civic community, demonstrated by the endowments it’s received through the years. The current campus reflects that; the site was bequeathed to the school by Sir James Aitken, and Aitken house remains in use there today. More recently, through a significant capital campaign, the school opened Benidickson Centre for Arts & Design. Throughout its life, Balmoral Hall has offered a window onto a wider world, offering innovative programs, and developing its own set of best practices, all of which are in ample evidence today. The boarding program, too, offers an added layer to the student experience, both for day students and those living on site. Instruction is student-centred, hands-on, including a robust internship program to provide real-world experience tailored to students’ interests. Indeed, a primary goal is to allow girls to follow and capitalize on their interests, and the list of alumnae hints at that, given its breadth. Included is senator Patricia Bovey, journalist Ashleigh Banfield, and hockey player Taylor Woods (who, as a member of the Balmoral Hall Blazers, set a number of team records that still stand today). The arts are represented, too, most obviously in Loreena McKennitt and Chantal Kreviazuk, both of whom are alumnae. In so many ways, the school has been doing great work for more than a century.

"Creating opportunities for parents to fully engage and understand the Montessori philosophy and opportunities to strengthen their parenting knowledge and skills. This is facilitated by organizing and implementing the events such as parent education nights, ongoing discussions about the progress of their child through p/t conferences, classroom observations."
"Balmoral Hall School's signature Capstone education model in Middle & Senior School is reflective of our vision, mission, and values and allows us to provide a personalized program that is rigorous, relevant, and research-based. Capstone programming empowers our students to be prepared for their future academic and professional pursuits. Students are involved in authentic, meaningful learning with continuous formative assessment and relevant, timely feedback."
"We may be small, but we are mighty! Though our school may be compact, we uphold an unwavering commitment to top-tier programming, ensuring a vibrant educational culture for both children and their families within this age group."
"At Balmoral Hall School, our goal is not simply to teach an enriched curriculum. Our programs are designed to build confidence, competence, and what experts call "connectedness," which refers to being a meaningful part of something other than oneself. We help girls build well-balanced foundations for personal and professional success in a fast-changing world."

Dr. Maria Montessori observed that children below the age of six possess a remarkable capacity to soak up knowledge from their environment, driven by an intrinsic motivation to do so. She termed this phenomenon the "absorbent mind" and acknowledged that these formative years offer a unique window of opportunity for learning certain skills that may not be as readily attainable later in life. At Curlew Montessori, we foster the inherent love for learning and exploration that children possess by providing them with chances to independently select and engage in meaningful activities.
In our educational setting, we employ Montessori learning materials to offer children tangible reasons to touch, manipulate, and learn, guided by their individual interests and natural curiosity. Our accredited Montessori program places emphasis on acquiring practical self-help abilities, developing the ability to differentiate between sizes, shapes, and colors, familiarizing with phonetic sounds of the alphabet, progressing towards writing and reading, numerical counting, comprehending number symbols, delving into arithmetic, and exploring subjects like botany, zoology, and geography through hands-on experiences.
All these learning experiences are facilitated by trained Montessori educators, who instill a sense of joy in the process of discovery. Through their own initiatives, children cultivate self-discipline and the capacity to concentrate.
We warmly invite you and your child to join us. Feel free to contact us to schedule a visit and tour our facilities.
Progressive
International Baccalaureate
Particularly popular in the younger grades (preschool to elementary), but sometimes available all the way up to high school, Montessori schools offer an alternative vision to the standard lesson format of most classrooms. Instead of listening to whole-class lessons, Montessori classrooms allow students to choose which "tasks" or activities interest them. These tasks centre around special Montessori puzzles - their essential feature being they contain a right answer and allow for selfcorrection. A strong emphasis is therefore placed on lessons being concrete and rooted in practical experience, along with students developing a sense of self-sufficiency, confidence and curiosity.
Progressive (sometimes called "in- quiry-based") curricula attempt to place children's interests and ideas at the heart of the learning experience. Instead of lessons being driven by predetermined pathways, progressive curricula are often "emergent", with learning activities shaped by students' questions about the world. Instead of starting with academic concepts and then tying it to everyday experience, progressive methods begin with everyday experience and work back to an academic lesson. Teachers provide materials, experiences, tools and resources to help students investigate a topic or issue. Students are encouraged to explore, reflect on their findings, and discuss answers or solutions.
Some private schools offer International Baccalaureate (IB) programming. The "Diploma Programme" is offered to students in the final two years of high school, while the "Primary Years Programme" (ages 3 to 12) and "Middle Years Programme" (ages 11 to 16) serve as preparation for the diploma program.
Our teachers understand how girls learn. They are dedicated to bringing out the best in each girl, by encouraging her strengths and providing support in areas that are more difficult for her. While our programs are demanding and our expectations high, the atmosphere is co-operative and supportive. It is an environment in which every girl feels free to believe in herself, to speak out and take academic risks.

Systematic-phonics programs teach young children to read by helping them to recognize and sound out the letters and syllables of words. Students are then led to blend these sounds together to sound out and recognize the whole word. While other reading programs might touch on phonetics (either incidentally or on a “when needed” basis), systematic phonics teaches phonics in a specific sequence, and uses extensive repetition and direct instruction to help readers associate specific letter patterns with their associated sounds.

The process approach to teaching beginner writing aims to get students writing “real things” as much as possible and as soon as possible. The goal is to create the right environmental conditions to encourage a love of writing and a motivation to write well. With children invested in the writing process -- through assignments children find meaningful -- students are then given feedback on how they can improve.

Inquiry-based science emphasizes teaching science as a way of thinking or practice, and therefore tries to get students “doing” science as much as possible -- and not just “learning” it. Students still learn foundational scientific ideas and content (and build on this knowledge progressively); however, relative to expository science instruction, inquiry-based programs have students spend more time developing and executing their own experiments (empirical and theoretical). Students are frequently challenged to develop critical and scientific-thinking skills by developing their own well-reasoned hypothesis and finding ways to test those hypotheses. Projects and experiments are emphasized over textbook learning. Skills are emphasized over breadth of knowledge.

The Expanding Communities approach organizes the curriculum around students’ present, everyday experience. In the younger grades, students might learn about themselves, for example. As they move through the grades, the focus gradually broadens in scope: to the family, neighbourhood, city, province, country, and globe. The curriculum tends to have less focus on history than Core Knowledge programs.

Heavy integration
Computers are used in the classroom from time to time, but integrating technology into everything students do is not a dominant focus. Digital literacy is understood to be a legitimate skill in the 21st century, but not one that should distract from teaching the subject at hand, or more fundamental skills and literacies. The idea is today’s students, being “digital natives”, are likely exposed to computers and new media enough outside the classroom: the role of the school, rather, should be to develop competencies that may otherwise get missed.
A major effort is made to integrate the development of digital literacy throughout the curriculum and in everything students do. Digital literacy is understood to be a fundamental skill in the 21st century: it therefore follows, the idea goes, that teachers should find ways to connect every lesson back to technology. Effort is made to ensure the use of technology is meaningful and advances students’ skills beyond what they would otherwise be from using computers outside the classroom.

Reggio Emilia
Montessori programs aimed at preschool and Kindergarten- aged children allow young learners to choose which “tasks” or activities interest them. These tasks centre around special Montessori puzzles -- the essential features of these puzzles being they contain a “right answer” and allow for self-correction. A strong emphasis is therefore placed on learning being concrete and rooted in practical experience, along with children developing a sense of self-sufficiency and confidence. Specially trained teachers act as guides, introducing children to progressively more difficult materials when appropriate. A Montessori classroom is typically very calm and orderly, with children working alone or, sometimes, in small groups.
If you want to learn more about Montessori education, check out our comprehensive guide. You can also check out our guide to Montessori preschools, elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools.
Reggio Emilia programs aim to develop curiosity and problem-solving skills through the liberal use of “projects”, (as opposed to “activities” or “lessons”). Teachers design projects for children around their demonstrated interests. Projects can be geared to an individual student, a small group of students, or the class as a whole. Projects can last from a few days to the whole year. Art is strongly emphasized and is typically incorporated into every project. Teachers actively participate in projects alongside students, rather than sitting back and observing. A high degree of parent involvement is also encouraged, particularly when forming curriculums and project plans (which happens throughout the academic year).
If you want to learn more about Reggio Emilia education, check out our comprehensive guide.
Within the Casa program, children aged 2 ½ to 6 engage in a diverse age-mixed environment, cultivating a sense of community where they evolve as both learners and mentors. The Montessori approach thrives best when a child consistently attends school for 5 half or full days, spanning the full 3-year Casa primary program. This steadiness empowers your child's teacher to tailor the curriculum according to individual developmental stages and needs and helping the child reached their potential within the first phase of their development, thus preparing them for school and for life!
We promote a balanced program that guides girls to develop not only socially, but also in other areas of learning, encompassing academic, emotional, physical, and cultural needs. In our warm, welcoming facility, we encourage the development of the whole child with a child-centred experience based on inquiry and experiential learning. Nestled in the heart of Winnipeg, our secure campus on the banks of the Assiniboine River features a landscaped, natural playground, a life-sized playhouse, and hundreds of mature trees that provide natural shade in the summer.
Accelerated
The main curriculum pace is non-standardized and is HIGHLY responsive to the pacing of individual students, (via differentiated instruction, differentiated assessment, etc). In theory, some students outpace the default/normalized curriculum, while others spend periods "behind schedule" if they need the extra time.
The main curriculum accelerates beyond the pace of the provincial one; ALL students do the work of OLDER public-school peers in tangible and measurable ways. This accelerated pace is maintained by the teachers and school, (through textbook selection, topic selection, grading, assignment standards and expectations, etc).

Supportive
A school with a “supportive” academic culture focuses more on process than short-term outcomes: academic performance is a welcomed side-benefit, but not the driving focus. This does not mean the school lacks standards, or has low expectations for its students: a school can have a supportive academic culture and still light the fire of ambition in its students. It does mean, however, the school provides a less intensive culture than schools with a “rigorous” academic classification, and is focused more simply on instilling a love of learning and life-long curiosity.

In a Montessori setting, children develop a profound sense of independence, critical thinking, and self-motivation. They cultivate a love for learning, becoming adaptable problem solvers and effective communicators. This environment fosters creativity, empathy, and social skills through mixed-age interactions. Montessori nurtures a strong foundation of academic excellence while emphasizing holistic growth, enabling children to thrive academically, emotionally, and socially, and equipping them with skills that serve them well throughout their lives.

Students at Balmoral Hall School benefit from a learning environment that is designed entirely with girls in mind. Whether she’s an artist or an athlete, a budding scientist or a future lawyer, we take the time not only to engage but also to encourage growth. From her very first day until she collects her diploma, she will experience a world of opportunity and be challenged to accomplish things she may not have dreamed possible.
ADMISSION POLICY
The admission policy of Curlew Montessori School is based on the educational philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori. We strive to serve a broad range of socioeconomic, religious, cultural, racial and ability groups. Our Program is not designed for children that have specific difficulties
i. e. learning exceptionalities, medical or emotional needs, psychological issues nor are our teachers trained in these areas. For this reason, we are not always able to meet the needs of every child.
Children with mild physical, mental or educational exceptionalities are considered for admission when special care or attention is not required. Reasonable accommodations will be made provided that minor changes to the program are required and that the child does not pose a risk to himself or others. A recent diagnostic assessment by qualified professionals, which identifies the child’s needs within a “mainstream” environment, is required. Assessment prior to admission and consequent periodic assessment may also be required during the school year and prior to re-registration. An educational assessment will determine:
Enrollment of students is made on a first come, first served basis given the following guidelines:
We welcome all students regardless of gender, race, religion or national origin
