BCS was founded in 1977 by the Kennedy Road Tabernacle and was initially known as KRT Christian School. It’s grown since, and the name was changed to reflect the school’s non-denominational perspective, though the school is now, just as it has always been, a part of the KRT ministry. Bob Boshart became principal in 1982 and over the next 26 years he consistently lead the development of the programs, accreditation, and the expansion into the upper grades. That said, the development has been very much guided by the school community, and the involvement of the families who have enrolled past and present is a great source of strength for the school. A fairly recent and substantial capital campaign has brought the school to where it is today, with a renewed infrastructure and a full complement of up-to-date instructional resources. Families are drawn to the reputation that the school has gained over its life, as well as a program based in the values of the Christian faith.

"Kids learn best in a setting that is caring and structured. Our teachers are certified, innovative, and passionate about their students and learning. Our academic program is accountable and effective, refined over the past 40+ years and delivered in a Christ-centered environment. Our facilities are modern, well-designed, and inspiring, rising from the fields on 65 acres at the end of Hwy #410 on the edge of Caledon."
"Bloomsbury Academy blends Montessori principles with 21st-century strategies to build executive function skills like focus, planning, and communication. Our approach encourages self-direction, emotional intelligence, and collaborative problem-solving through both independent learning and imaginative play. Supported by expert teachers and research, our program prepares children for social and academic success in their primary school years. Serving three convenient locations: Downtown, Yorkdale and Dufferin Grove."
"Our Christian faith inspires and underlies our commitment to excellence.
We plan, teach, assess, communicate, and reflect with excellence because we are motivated to represent Christ well to our students.
Our teachers are our greatest strength; engaged, life-long learners themselves, they are positive, encouraging, and love their vocation! They collaborate excitedly with one another, dialogue incessantly about learning, and model collegial and inspiring relationship for our students."
"Family and community connections are a core value at Bloomsbury Academy. Our centres are located in vibrant, walkable urban communities. Bloomsbury Academy is a high-quality learning program with a beautifully designed learning space, a dedicated playground, and a gymnasium conveniently located within urban neighbourhoods close to transit.
Our teaching philosophy is built around a focus on children’s well-being and the importance of being part of a nurturing and supportive community. Children need to feel confident and valued before they can explore and learn about the world around them.
Bloomsbury Academy's commitment to current educational research, best practices, and teacher professional development ensure an exceptional learning experience for all students."

"By prioritizing urban locations for our facilities, Bloomsbury Academy offers a more intimate learning environment, allowing for personalized attention and stronger connections among students and educators.
This focus on accessibility means we’ve opted for innovative, multi-purpose spaces instead of expansive campuses, fostering creativity and collaboration within a cozy setting. While our facilities may not boast sprawling outdoor areas, we’ve integrated nature-based learning through our community spaces, encouraging exploration and outdoor play in the neighborhood.
Additionally, our commitment to offering a curriculum that emphasizes community engagement and experiential learning sometimes requires flexibility in scheduling. These tradeoffs enhance our mission to create connected, sustainable urban environments, ensuring that families have access to quality education within their community while nurturing a sense of belonging."

"Bloomsbury Academy's state-of-the-art urban facility nurtures curiosity and creativity in young minds. If parents are expecting large playing fields and an extracurricular program, we are not able to provide that downtown. Parents who value a highly traditional school environment may not be a good fit for our innovative model."
"Families share that they choose our school for:
- a caring, Christian, environment;
- a high academic standard and track-record of success at the post-secondary level;
- a structured, safe, and encouraging atmosphere;

The unique curriculum and classroom spaces provide an enriching learning environment that represents the local community and culture.
We are open to the public and we offer discounted tuition rates to residents of our communities and feature state-of-the-art amenities, including a dedicated outdoor play area, a Toronto Raptors basketball court, yoga classes, nutritious meals and classrooms designed to maximize natural light. Regular updates and communication foster trust between educators and families, while regular family events and parenting workshops create a strong sense of community."
"The fact that our teaching staff all share a fairly unified Christian worldview is sometimes undervalued, though it provides the foundation of our communal teaching practice. This worldview emphasizes the student as a thoroughly-loved child or God, capable of growth and change and development, and rich with God-given potential. This is the common lens through which each of our teachers see each student, and a truth to which they are held accountable in their decision-making."
"Our centres are smaller and offer more individual attention. Our unique curriculum supports children's capacity to focus and learn collaboratively as they develop positive peer relationships."
"Families will be pleased to discover the value of having a cross-divisional school that goes from JK all the way up to Grade 12. Although separated into different wings of the school, students in various divisions will share the same frame of reference and there is a sense of security in that. Curricular and extra-curricular cross-divisional activities create a wonderful familial rapport among students, staff, parents, and even grandparents."
"We offer parent social and educational events throughout the year. We are a close-knit community located within a vibrant urban neighborhood."

For those who don’t know him already, here are some things you should know about our Principal, Andy Cabral.
Firstly, you should know he’s got all that ‘academic’ stuff you’d expect! He completed his first degree and teacher-training program at McGill University (Montreal). His Master’s Degree from Middlebury College (USA) also included graduate courses taken on site at Lincoln College, Oxford University (UK). He is a member of the Ontario College of Teachers and did his Principal’s Qualification Program at York University (Toronto).
Secondly, he’s got experience! He’s been teaching since 1996 and has experience in public and private schools, both near and as far away as Seoul, South Korea! He’s been a teacher at BCS since 2001 and led the High School division as the Vice-Principal prior to becoming our Principal.
Thirdly, he’s thoroughly invested in BCS! With his wife Annette, a long-time teacher in the Junior High, and 4 kids enrolled at BCS this year from SK up to grade 10, Mr. Cabral is a major stakeholder in this place!
Finally, you should know he has a heart for God and for helping kids of all ages develop a relationship with Him through Christ. His favourite verse is Matthew 5:16— “Let your light so shine before others, that they may see your good works and glorify the Father in heaven.”
Make sure to take the chance to introduce yourself, any time you see him around the school. You may find him in the office, coaching a sports team, leading a Mission trip, directing traffic, or simply chatting with our students!
Dear Families,
Thank you for taking the time to explore Bloomsbury Academy! We are an early learning
centre with strong connections to our local communities across Toronto. Bloomsbury Academy was
developed in response to the latest research on children’s cognitive development and family well-being.
Our team understands the needs of busy urban families.
Inspired by Dr. Maria Montessori’s work in the early 20th century, we blend Montessori principles with
current evidence-based teaching strategies for early literacy, numeracy, and social skills development.
At Bloomsbury Academy, our skilled teachers know that children thrive socially and academically with
caring adults and positive peer relationships. We’ve carefully designed a program that encourages
children to develop a sense of responsibility and resilience. As an educator, researcher, and parent, I
know that these traits are vital for future success in school and beyond.
Our warm and inclusive school is the product of a collaborative effort by people who are passionate
about early childhood education and community-based learning. Please reach out and book a tour.
We look forward to meeting you!

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.

In our Elementary Division, our teachers use an effective balance between traditional, pre-structured, learning activities and an inquiry-based approach. Our integration of technology is purposeful and effective, not token. We supplement the Ontario curriculum with additional material. The entire curriculum is taught through the lense of a Christian Worldview: that the laws of the finite universe and world in which they live are governed by a God who loves each student infinitely. Our Ministry-inspected Secondary program is built on Advanced (9 & 10) and University-stream (11 & 12) courses with special emphasis on lab-work in our science program.

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 systematic approach to teaching beginner writing focuses on directly imparting explicit sentence construction strategies, along with planning, revising, and editing skills. Students are asked to learn these explicit strategies and skills and practice them before applying them in more holistic writing assignments. Grammar and parts of sentences tend to have a central role in systematic writing instruction.

In traditional literature programs students focus on decoding the mechanics of texts: plot, characterization, and themes. These texts tend to include a balance of contemporary and “classic” literature. When studying a past work, students investigate its historical context -- but only insofar as this adds understanding to the work itself. Past works are therefore studied “on their own terms”, and not merely as historical artifacts to be deconstructed: traditional literature programs are firmly rooted in the humanities, and carry the belief that great literature can reveal fundamental and universal truths about the human condition. These programs emphasize class discussions and critical essay writing, and aim to develop in students critical thinking, communication skills, and a cultivated taste and ethos.

Usually focused on teaching history and geography at an early age, the core knowledge approach uses story, drama, reading, and discussion to teach about significant people, places, and events. Breadth of content and knowledge is emphasized. The curriculum is often organized according to the underlying logic of the content: history might be taught sequentially, for example (as students move through the grades).

Academic
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.

BCS 's full-day Junior and Senior Kindergarten programs have been developed over the 43 years we've been running them! Our academic-based program focuses on math and reading development. Our program benefits from both ECE and OCT certified teachers and small teacher-student ratios.
Our preschool and Kindergarten program is characterized by a socio-dramatic approach, promoting self-regulated learning in a focused environment. Children engage in role-playing and imaginative scenarios that encourage social interaction and emotional development. This method empowers them to express their thoughts and feelings while collaborating with peers, fostering communication skills and creativity. We emphasize self-regulation by allowing children to choose activities that resonate with their interests, helping them develop decision-making and problem-solving skills. Our structured yet flexible setting provides clear guidelines while allowing for exploration, ensuring a balanced focus on both independent and collaborative learning experiences. This holistic approach prepares children for future academic and social challenges.
Standard-enriched
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.

Supportive
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”.
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.
Our school fosters a supportive academic culture that prioritizes the process of learning and personal growth. While we maintain high standards, our primary focus is on nurturing a love of learning and encouraging curiosity. We aim to create an environment where students feel comfortable exploring ideas, making mistakes, and developing resilience. Our curriculum is designed to challenge students at their individual pace while ensuring they receive the guidance and encouragement needed to succeed. We believe that long-term success is built on a strong foundation of passion for learning, critical thinking, and self-motivation, which we cultivate through positive reinforcement, collaboration, and an inclusive learning atmosphere.
"We honour and distinguish our brightest students, using them as examples for other students to follow."
"We honour and distinguish our brightest students, using them as examples for other students to follow."
Balanced
Equal emphasis is placed on a balance of priorities: intellectual, emotional, social and physical cultivation.
Intellectual
The goal is to cultivate "academically strong, creative and critical thinkers, capable of exercising rationality, apprehending truth, and making aesthetic distinctions."
Social
The goal is to cultivate "socially aware and active citizens, motivated to change the world (or their community) for the better."
Our school’s primary focus is on fostering intellectual development, shaping students into creative and critical thinkers who can navigate complex problems and appreciate diverse perspectives. We encourage intellectual curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge while honing their analytical and reasoning skills. As a secondary focus, we emphasize social development, helping students become socially conscious and active citizens who value empathy, collaboration, and community involvement. By nurturing both intellectual and social growth, we aim to shape individuals who are not only academically capable but also compassionate, engaged members of society, ready to make meaningful contributions to the world around them.

If parents present us with a diagnosis, we initiate a collaborative discussion to understand the required accommodations and determine if an Individualized Support Plan (ISP) can adequately meet the child’s needs. We assess the exceptionality and work with families to evaluate whether our resources can provide meaningful, long-term support. As a small private center, our capacity to accommodate complex or extensive special needs is limited. While we strive to be inclusive, we may advise parents against enrollment if we believe we cannot provide the necessary support for their child’s growth and success. Our priority is ensuring that each child receives the best possible care and learning environment.
