Newton’s Grove began its life in 1977 as the first private school in Mississauga, known then as Mississauga Private School. It soon moved to Etobicoke, though returned to Mississauga in 2015, moving into its permanent location in 2017. The moves are symptomatic of the school’s growth, based in a growing reputation for its academics coupled with a robust athletic program. Values, too, are a draw, with a dedication to promoting respect and responsibility throughout the curricular areas. The ideal student is one able to thrive in a challenging, vibrant, socially oriented environment.
View full reportIn Maria Montessori’s day, the most obviously remarkable thing about her approach to education was how she chose to adapt the learning space. It was open, diverse, organized yet amorphous, with common areas that weren’t dedicated to any specific learning task. That was revolutionary both for what it was, as for the way it positioned the learner. Montessori wanted to build from a child’s curiosity and engagement with the world, and her learning spaces were organized with that in mind. In kind, those are the ideals that Enquiring Minds expresses so well. To have that kind of conceptual space you need physical space—space to move around in, to move through—and the openness and extent of the EM environment is one of its great assets. Likewise, there is an attention to ranging across the curriculum, rather than siloing each separate from the others; the arts program isn’t ancillary to the other curricular areas, for example, but instead is a foundational aspect of learning across them. The attention to values—respect for the space as well as those within it—is also a primary draw for the families who enroll. The ideal student is one able to thrive in a diverse, hands-on, and challenging yet supportive social and academic environment.

Cheri Grogan believes that it is our role as educators to create a learning environment where we push our students to think critically and dig for deeper understanding through a balanced approach between traditional concept teaching, and more investigative inquiry-based approaches. And it is through this balanced approach of teaching and fostering a deeper understanding that provides the students with open-mindedness, curiosity and guided skepticism. She also believes that It is imperative that we embrace creativity, collaboration, authentic assessments and deep inquiry to awaken a passion for lifelong learning. At Newton’s Grove, we share this belief, and as such we continue to provide an exceptional academic program because we know that it is no longer about asking students what they want to be when they grow up, instead, we challenge and ask them what problems they would like to solve.
Dear Parents,
As the Director of this unique comprehensive Montessori school, I am energized and deeply committed to making a positive difference in the lives of your children. Our remarkable staff, involved parents and committed students come together to make Enquiring Minds Montessori a wonderful place to be challenged intellectually, grow socially, and develop as independent thinkers and problem solvers. Setting high academic expectations for all children coupled with high standards for teaching and learning is what drives our work every single day, and for which supportive systems for both students and teachers are built.
An integral part of Enquiring Minds Montessori’s reputation has been built on the strength of our arts-enriched programs. Children enrolled in our programs are exposed to extensive enrichment in both academics and the arts. Our programs further develop the child through Language, Movement, Music, Art, Voice, and Drama. These programs, like the core activities, are not considered recreational activities but rather intensives.
Our core values reflect a commitment to provide students with personalized support in a variety of ways. Our responsibility is to address the needs of the whole child. A child’s sense of belonging is a key component of emotional and social wellness at school. This approach helps to instill within our student body a sense of personal pride and love of and for our school.
As we provide students with what is needed at school, we believe that education occurs in each home and in the community. The success of a Montessori School is very dependent on parent involvement. We encourage parents to become involved in their child’s program, supporting the educational and social experiences, and sharing in the joys and satisfaction that their child experiences in his or her own learning. With parents as our partners, our children can work to their fullest potential. Though we are proud of our past successes, we do not rest on them, and we continually raise expectations for ourselves as a learning community. Whether you are an existing or future Enquiring Minds family, I invite you to be a positive force in this work!
I look forward to working with you and your child(ren) as we work toward an academically successful school year.
Sincerely,
Kristen Hamilton
Director

Traditional curricula tend to be very content-based and rooted in the core disciplines. It is a structured approach that involves the teacher delivering a unified curriculum through direct instruction. Students usually learn by observing and listening to their teacher, studying facts and concepts in textbooks, and completing both tests and written assignments - which challenge students to not only demonstrate their mastery of content but their ability to analyze and deconstruct it critically. Class discussions are also used to create critical dialogue around the content of the curriculum.
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.

Our holistic approach focuses on all aspects of student's development, the academic, the physical and the social, with an emphasis on a positive attitude, self-discipline, accountability, and personal responsibility. We foster that development through an inquiry based program that stresses literacy and numeracy, the importance of STEM, engagement in the arts, physical activity and athletics. In doing so, we challenge students to strive for excellence, to think for themselves, and to find their own voices.
Enquiring Minds Montessori mainstream curriculum is based off of Maria Montessori's philosophy, and we also incorporate an arts- based curriculum along with that where we offer our students a variety of specialty studies such as: French, Mandarin, Visual Arts, Dance, Musical Theatre, Violin, & Photography.

Mathematical Concepts are presented through extensive use of concrete materials. The child’s sensorial training enables him/her to identify and differentiate the idea of quantity that is built into the Montessori materials. The child gains the conception of numbers and their application on arithmetical operations.

Balanced Literacy
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.
Balanced reading programs are typically Whole Language programs with supplementary phonics training. This training might be incidental, or it might take the form of mini-lessons.
Information not available
Language Materials are presented individually. Children are taught the sound and formation of the letters kinesthetically through the use of sandpaper letters and similar materials. Word building activities of increasing difficulty are done over a long period of time. Reading follows naturally.
Equal balance
Programs that balance systematic and process approaches equally likely have an emphasis on giving young students ample opportunities to write, while providing supplementary class-wide instruction in grammar, parts of sentences, and various writing strategies.

We teach cursive before printing. This approach stretches the child's abilities within limits, which allows the later to develop naturally. Sentence construction follows and grammar also follows naturally.

Science programs that balance expository and inquiry learning equally will likely have an equal blend of tests and experiments; direct, textbook-based instruction and student-centred projects.

The science department offers collaborative experiences for students to learn in both traditional and high-tech environments. Students will thrive in a challenging program which provides hands-on learning and opportunities to go beyond the Ontario curriculum in courses such as AP Biology and AP Chemistry.
Themes like botany and biology are introduced through the use of concrete materials and student-centred projects.

The communicative method of language acquisition emphasizes the use of the target language in authentic contexts. The approach commonly features interactive group work, games, authentic texts, and opportunities to learn about the cultural background of the language. Drills and quizzes may still be used, but less frequently than with the audio-lingual method.

Students reach new heights as they are both challenged and exposed to the power and joy of the arts while having opportunities to foster the qualities of a superior arts program: self-discipline, leadership, and a life-long love for the arts.
Maria Montessori believed that while Academics may be the heart of education, the Arts are surely its soul. At Enquiring Minds Montessori Casa we have created a unique learning experience that fosters academic and artistic excellence in a caring and challenging environment. We rejoice in the basic tenet of Montessori: children want to learn naturally. We believe that even the youngest child delights in observing and mastering how the world works. Our teachers respect each child’s individual interests and abilities. Children acquire an ability to learn, which is virtually unlimited. Free to explore in prepared environments, they develop a sense of purpose, process, and success.

Academic-based preschools and Kindergartens are the most structured of the different types, and have a strong emphasis on math and reading readiness skills. These programs aim to expose children to what early-elementary school is like. While time is still allotted to free play, much of the day is built around explicit lessons guided by the teacher. Classrooms often resemble play-based ones (with different stations set up around the room), but at an Academic program the teacher leads students through the stations directly, and ties these activities to a whole-class lesson or theme.
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.

Starting in Junior and Senior Kindergarten, our programs are full-day with an emphasis on the ability to communicate both verbally and in written form. Spelling, grammar and phonics are taught to develop reading and writing skills at an early age. Mathematics is taught daily, with an emphasis on problem-solving. French, Computers, Physical Education and Music programs also begin in Junior Kindergarten. This well-rounded approach gives Newton’s Grove students a strong academic foundation while fostering a love of learning.
The primary goals of the Montessori Method are to: Promote the growth of a positive self-image in each child and satisfaction about him/herself, which is the key to the development of a person’s full potential. Promote feelings of enthusiasm and responsibility about one’s world. Create an awareness of one’s own feelings and sensitivity to the feelings of others. Encourage the natural desire, ability, self-discipline, and independence inherent in learning. Ensure the mastery of the basic skills in order to pursue knowledge. Teach physical coordination and control. Develop the ability to concentrate and attend to details. Develop a sense of order.
Student-paced
Broadly-speaking, the main curriculum -- like that of most schools -- paces the provincially-outlined one. This pace is steady and set by the teachers and school. The curriculum might still be enriched in various ways: covering topics more in-depth and with more vigor than the provincial one, or covering a broader selection of topics.
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.

Rigorous
A school with a “rigorous” academic culture places a high value on academic performance, and expects their students to do the same. This does not mean the school is uncaring, unsupportive, or non-responsive -- far from it. A school can have a rigorous academic culture and still provide excellent individual support. It does mean, however, the school places a particular emphasis on performance -- seeking the best students and challenging them to the fullest extent -- relative to a normal baseline. High expectations and standards – and a challenging yet rewarding curriculum – are the common themes here. Keep in mind this classification is more relevant for the older grades: few Kindergarten classrooms, for example, would be called “rigorous”.

Montessori emphasizes learning through all five senses, not just through listening, watching, or reading. Children in Montessori classes learn at their own, individual pace and according to their own choice of activities from hundreds of possibilities. Learning is an exciting process of discovery, leading to concentration, motivation, self-discipline, and a love for learning.
