Prince Edward was founded in 1995, and has since grown to incorporate two campuses. The program at both extends from the early years through grade 1, providing a seamless transition into the elementary curriculum. Literacy and numeracy are at the forefront of the program, just as they should be, though the development of interpersonal skills and physical education are as well. All of those are draws for the parents to who enroll at Prince Edward. The summer camp offerings are a draw as well, providing some opportunities for a consistency of care throughout the year.
View full reportEstablished in 2003, La Maison Montessori House believes both English and French are essential to Canadian culture and offers a complete French immersion program for students in Grades 1 to 8. It also offers a casa program for students aged two and a half to six. Students at La Maison speak French all day long, with the exception of music, art, and physical education. This amount of immersion ensures students leave the program in Grade 8 with the ability to write and converse in French.
La Maison Montessori House is committed to the intellectual, physical, and emotional development of every child through organized educational activities. Following the Montessori philosophy, instructors respect children’s innate curiosity and desire for independence. Overall, the school provides a harmonious environment that fosters work, self-discipline, and a lifelong love of learning.

"Founded in 1995, Prince Edward Montessori School's mission is to provide a nurturing, stimulating and enriching learning environment for children aged 1.5 to 6 years old. We adhere to the AMI Montessori curriculum in Mathematics, Language, Sensorial and Practical Life and Culture. In addition, we offer specialized classes in French, Music, Yoga and Gym. Our Mississauga Campus offers a Toddler Program and summer camps."
"LMMH offers French immersion for students aged 3 years to 13 years. In a traditional school, the teacher does the majority of the talking. Our Montessori school environment, on the other hand, allows for constant conversation. This constant use of French conversation ensures that the language becomes “hardwired” in the children’s brains. In other words, we put the “immersion” in French immersion."

This was a journey I took on in 2003 for the love of my son, as I wanted to offer him a warm, and academically challenging environment to learn. Also being from Montreal, it was important for me that my son learn French. I now realize it has grown to become much more. I feel lucky to be contributing to our future – starting with children. This journey all began for the love of my son, yet I have been blessed with all the love of the children year after year. When I tell people “I am going to work”, I can hardly use the word “work” as I truly feel lucky to come to school surrounded by such wonderful smiles from all the children.
The families that are part of our LMMH community are like-minded and value the philosophy that our staff and teachers uphold at our school. When we all work together, your child grows to their greatest potential to be the best person they can be.

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.

Montessori
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.

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).

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.
