Tall Pines School

When I was a young teacher recently graduated from teachers college, I had a dream that I could establish a school that would nurture its students intellectually, academically and emotionally. There would be both Montessori programs and progressive private school classes to meet the needs of a diverse community of learners.  Above all, there would be an atmosphere of respect, high behavioural standards, and outstanding academics, sports and arts programs. In short, my ideal school would provide students with the very best education possible, addressing the learning needs of the whole child.

I was both thrilled and anxious in 1987 as my school had its genesis in a church hall in east Brampton. There were just sixteen students enrolled in the very first September, but over a very short period of time, Tall Pines School school grew beyond my wildest dreams.  Today, we have over 450 students, from age 9 months to 14 years, in a modern state of the art facility which includes 27 classrooms, sports fields, five playgrounds, a full sized gymnasium and a full complement of amazing teachers. 

Every year, new families bring their children to us as a result of a recommendation from friends or family, and it has been amazing that so many families have helped support the vision that I had in 1987.
