With more than 25 languages spoken within a student body of just 120, the school certainly comes by its name honestly. The primary language of instruction is English, though many students arrive for whom English is a second language; a majority are international students, though certainly that's not a requirement. The ideal student is one destined for post-secondary education, who will thrive in a linguistically and culturally diverse environment, and who can perceive the unique opportunities and perspective that such an environment can provide.
View full reportMentor College and the TEAM schools (Tutorial and Educational Assistance in Mississauga) are closely associated. They are overseen by a single administrative body, and they share some facilities, services, and extracurricular programs. The most obvious difference between them is focus: where Mentor College provides a program for students proceeding within the academic stream, and the TEAM providing a program for those proceeding within the applied stream. That said, it's the other differences—including style of instruction, class size, and individual attention—that ultimately distinguish the schools. Many students arrive at TEAM after struggling to meet their true academic potential within a more traditional academic setting. The ideal student is one who will benefit from the added support and attention, with particular attention to numeracy, literacy, and the development of sound learning skills. The facilities are modern and robust, as are student services and transportation.

"CPI is an English-language, private, non-sectarian, coeducational school, founded in 1944. There is no language restriction regarding registration. There are more than 25 international languages within our school family. The school welcomes students from foreign countries. Our small classes, and the personal attention we offer, are well suited to the needs of our international students. "Bringing Students Together From Around The World". CPI provides a strong academic program. Homestay available."
"Since 1981, TEAM School has offered an individualized academic programme for students who benefit from the additional support that can be provided in a small class setting. In the TEAM programme (up to 9 students), teachers utilize Direct Instruction strategies and programmes in core subject areas to build skill mastery. The TEAM Programme provides an excellent academic upgrading programme where fundamental skills are consolidated. The TEAM Preparatory (Prep) programme (up to 5 students) provides further support through a smaller class size and individualized programme. Students work toward skill acquisition with emphasis on the integration of personal skills and work habits for individual success and a greater level of independence. The academic programme is augmented by specialty classes in science, physical education, music, and the performing arts."
"We are a family oriented School. Small classes, individual attention."
"TEAM School addresses the needs of a variety of students: students who require academic upgrading, students who benefit from small class sizes and extra teacher support, and students who have had an educational assessment indicating a learning challenge. TEAM School the Science of Reading approaches to learning reading. Targeted intervention and ongoing data collection of students' evaluation helps to ensure that we are maintaining the appropriate level of instruction for each student."

"Key moments in the history of TEAM School begin with the founding of the school in 1981. A milestone for the school was in 1991 - when TEAM School adopted DI (Direct Instruction) as a teaching methodology. In 2012, the Ontario Human Rights Commission released the Right To Read Report. In 2024, we introduced the TEAM School Prep Programme in which further support is provided through a smaller class size (5 students) and individualized programme."

"TEAM School offers a positive learning environment for a variety of students. For example, students who have been identified with a learning disability or students who are on the Autism Spectrum Disorder can benefit from TEAM School’s small class sizes and highly structured environment. With respect to exceptional learners, while TEAM School does have some gifted students, the typical TEAM student is challenged and requires additional support. A typical TEAM student may also experience organizational difficulties or anxiety. Most important, perhaps, are the family of the child’s expectation and mindset. There must be a recognition that the child’s needs are not being met in the current school and that a change of school may be beneficial. Once this is established, doors to learning begin to open and parents will begin to experience clear and regular communication regarding the child’s progress and learning."

"TEAM School employs DI (Direct Instruction) as a main method of instruction. We employ technology as appropriate and when appropriate for student learning, but it is not embedded into every lesson, everyday. Nightly homework is an integral part of consolidating classwork. As a school aimed at remediating issues in a child's learning, inquiry-based learning and student-directed learning are less of a focus"
"Our multicultural family oriented environment is appealing to most families"
"Families choose TEAM School because they value traditional approaches to learning. Parents see their child’s confidence increase as they experience success. Gaps close as the TEAM student’s work ethic improves. Clear and regularly-scheduled communication with the teacher, extracurricular options, and leadership opportunities all contribute to a positive and supportive framework designed for student success. Facilities for swimming and outdoor education round out a complete learning experience. Our transportation system safely delivers to and from school everyday covering all of Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville, and Etobicoke."

"First-time visitors to the school often mention TEAM School’s individualized attention. When we interact with parents at events like the Our Kids Expo, they seem to have the sense that the TEAM programme is an impactful one that makes positive changes in students’ lives. Parents regularly mention and ask about our extracurricular programme."
Information not available
"We believe that the TEAM extracurricular program offers a club or team for just about every interest. There are clubs, teams, and special events at TEAM that have been running for decades. Many of these groups were initiated by a student or staff member's passion and knowledge in a specific area. Most clubs, teams, and events are grade/division-specific and school-wide events like the Culture Show and the charity fundraiser Arcadium bring together students of all ages."

"The biggest change in recent years has been the introduction of the TEAM School Prep Programme in 2024. The TEAM Preparatory (Prep) programme provides further support through a smaller class size and individualized programme. Students work toward skill acquisition with emphasis on the integration of personal skills and work habits for individual success and a greater level of independence. Students are grouped by division (Primary, Junior, Intermediate, and Senior) up to the Grade 8 level, in classes of up to 5 students organized using the TEAM model with team-teaching of two classes in the classroom. The TEAM Prep programme prepares students for continuation to the next level of the programme or for transition into the TEAM programme, and for success in a larger class setting."

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.

TEAM School provides individualized academic programmes for students who benefit from instruction in a small class setting. Academic needs are identified and addressed using explicit instructional methods, including Direct Instruction, and consistent classroom routines and expectations. Students in our TEAM Programme receive core instruction at their level and in groups of up to 9 students. TEAM Prep students receive targeted intervention with a greater level of support in groups of up to 5 students. Grade level science and social studies instruction is provided, and individual accommodations are put in place to meet student needs. Our small and supportive settings address academic gaps by allowing each student to learn and master skills at their level and to move on to the next level of challenge as and when they are ready. Student confidence increases as they improve their skills and develop strategies to support continued academic success.
Traditional Math
Traditional Math typically teaches a method or algorithm FIRST, and THEN teaches the applications for the method. Traditional algorithms are emphasized and practiced regularly: repetition and drills are frequently used to ensure foundational mastery in the underlying mathematical procedures. The traditional approach to math views math education as akin to building a logical edifice: each brick depends on the support of the previously laid ones, which represent mastery over a particular procedure or method. Traditional Math begins by giving students a tool, and then challenges students to practice using that tool an applied way, with progressively challenging problems. In this sense Traditional Math aims to establish procedural understanding before conceptual and applied understanding.

The first and second years of this cycle help to prepare students to enter high-school mathematics with confidence. Concepts introduced in earlier mathematics courses are extended in this course. Grade 10 Science Option course which includes factors, rational expressions, linear and quadratic functions, and system of equations. This course is intended for students who wish to pursue studies in science, commerce, business administration or a technical trade. his course includes three main objectives: algebra, the analysis of geometric situations and statistical data. They will begin by working with inequalities and system of inequalities alone, and then the solutions of linear optimization problems.
Math class is scheduled daily. Instruction is teacher-directed. Strategies and algorithms are taught explicitly, and students receive ample opportunity to practice their skills. Opportunities for guided exploration allow for the development of conceptual understanding. Concepts are revisited throughout the school year.
Specific programme selection is based on each student's learning needs. In the primary grades, students are usually place in Connecting Math Concepts or JUMP Math. In grades 4 through 8, JUMP Math and Nelson Mathematics are most commonly used.
Calculators and computers are permitted in all math classes.
TEAM School programming aims to develop solid foundational skills, including calculation skills. Decisions regarding calculator use are made on an individual basis with consideration given to the profile of each learner and the complexity of required tasks.
Phonics-intensive
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.

Explicit Direct Instruction daily ongoing review practice show, practice, test; phonics and daily oral reading practice; isolated sounds, words, word parts, passages, comprehension checks.
DIBELS Testing: This school periodically uses DIBELS testing to assess reading progress.
DIBELS data is collected three times a year to monitor student literacy skills and identify areas requiring remedial attention.
Systematic approach
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.
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.
Students exchange ideas with others, through reading, writing, speaking and listening. They practice reading selectively with understanding, and analyze and respond to various literary genres. Students examine and practice writing essays, reviews, monologues, journals, and drama. They examine a variety of literary elements and examine how writers employ each. Attention is given to audience, mood, voice, atmosphere, theme, plot structure, irony, foreshadowing, etc. The crafting of essays, the writing of thesis statements, and the presentation of supporting proofs is stressed. Students also practice grammar, vocabulary, punctuation, and manuscript presentation.

Expository
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.
Expository science is the more traditional method of teaching science: students learn scientific facts, theories, and the relationships between them through direct instruction by the teacher. These programs still incorporate hands-on experimentation and “live science”; however, relative to inquiry-based programs, expository science tilts towards content mastery and knowledge acquisition. Direct instruction ensures this acquisition process is efficient. Textbooks are emphasized (starting in earlier grades than inquiry-based programs), as are knowledge tests: students are asked to demonstrate they have thoroughly learned the content of the course, and can apply that knowledge to novel and challenging problems or questions.
This course is designed to introduce students to a number of basic concepts in both Chemistry and Physics. Major studies include the classification and properties of matter; physical and chemical changes; the modern atomic model, atomic structure, bonding; molecular models; solution phenomena; acids and bases; magnetic phenomena; electrical phenomena, power, generation and transmission. This course seeks to foster the student’s interest in physics, adapt to constant changes brought by science, prepare for future careers in science or technology, structure the concepts of matter and energy, become aware of environmental issues, and study the relationships between science and society. It provides them with the opportunity to investigate natural phenomena and technology related to physics. Students examine the properties of light, reflection, refraction, lenses, images, and understand how optical devices work; motion and its mechanics, equilibrant force, kinematics, Newton’s laws, simple machines, types of energy.

Traditional
These literature programs draw in equal measure from “Traditional” and “Social Justice” programs.
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.
The purpose of the English Language Arts program is to help students develop ease and confidence in the exchange of ideas with others, through reading, writing, speaking and listening. They learn to read with comprehension and discretion, sift information, analyze and respond to various literary genres: novels, short stories, essays, plays, poems. Students examine and practice writing essays, reviews, monologues, journals, and drama. They examine literary elements, audience, mood, voice, atmosphere, theme, plot structure. They practice grammar, vocabulary, punctuation, manuscript presentation.

Core Knowledge
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).

The aim of the Ethics and Religious Culture Program is to help young people become aware of themselves, of their relation to others, and of the effect of human actions on community life. They look at simple values, ask why, and see how they can be applied in different situations. Students reflect on actions and dialogue with others. They attempt to open themselves to understand other points of view – whether cultural, religious, or generational. They begin to discuss motives and reasons. They examine cultural similarities and differences in moral positions. Students also look at the basic moral values of major world religions and philosophies. Respect and tolerance for differences of belief is fostered, and a sense of the brotherhood and sisterhood of humankind is established through a better understanding of what we have in common. All philosophies and religious cultures are accorded freedom and respect.

Creative
These programs have an equal emphasis on receptive and creative learning.
Creative arts programs are studio-driven. While historical works and movements may still be taught to add context to the program, students mainly engage in making art (visual, musical, theatrical, etc). The goal is use the actual practice of art to help educate students’ emotions, cognition, and ethos.
This course will introduce students to various techniques of artistic expression from painting to sculpture. Forms of modern art are investigated along with the historical context for the origins of various artistic movements. The joy and possibilities of art will be emphasized in hands-on creative projects and guided instruction. It will trace the journey of western art since the invention of photography. With realism no longer necessary, art became more abstract. A timeline from impressionism onward will be established, and the various genres investigated in tandem with practical exercises. Significant artists will be profiled, and students will present their style, technique, history to the class.. Instruction will center around adapting different methods to the students’ practical work realizing the inventive possibilities of mistakes fueled by imagination.
The TEAM School Arts programme fosters a supportive and inclusive environment where students are encouraged to explore, experiment, and discover their artistic voice. Through direct instruction, students build essential skills that form a foundation for future, more self-directed projects. Our programme emphasizes creative growth, technical mastery, and an appreciation for aesthetic excellence. Students engage in projects inspired by diverse art movements and influential artists, broadening their understanding of historical and contemporary practices.

Light 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.

During this first year of Cycle II, the students use experimental problem solving to develop their understanding of science. They explore Waves, Sound, Light, Electricity and Magnetism. They also participate in the school science fair. Some topics covered in this course include: electric circuits, electric motors and how they work, electronics, computers, waves and their behaviour, light, mirrors and lenses.
TEAM students are taught computer skills that will support future academic work (i.e., keyboarding, research, word processing, spreadsheets, presentation software, etc.). Teachers incorporate technology in lessons purposefully with the support of our Technology Resource Teacher. Each student has an Office 365 account for home use.

The students continued physical development and the promotion of a life-time participation in physical recreation and sports is the goal of this course. Proper attitudes towards sports, recreation and healthy living are stressed. They take part in suitable team sports and individual exercise, and are encouraged to engage in physical activities outside of school-time and to develop healthy habits. Students are assisted in the development of physical fitness, proper attitudes, and the skills that will encourage a lifetime of participation in physical recreation and sports. They take part in suitable team sports and individual exercise, and are encouraged to engage in physical activities outside of school-time and to develop healthy habits.
We want students to learn to enjoy physical activity and appreciate its importance as part of a healthy lifestyle. With an emphasis on sportsmanship and teamwork, students develop their individual skills as they participate in a variety of activities and games, both indoors and outside.
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.
Small classes create a positive learning environment. Administrative team try to ensure groups are homogeneous which is conducive to learning
Students receive instruction at a level and in a manner that allows them to experience success. Once a strong foundation is established, new skills and strategies are developed through clear modeling and ongoing practice. Within any given classroom, there are multiple levels of instruction and individualized expectations across the subjects.
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.
Success comes with preparation The best way to be well prepared and succeed is to devote time to your studies. It is clearly documented that the probability of a high average in college increases with the time dedicated to studying in high school. The School Office is ready to help you during the day with extra coaching, problem solving, a friendly chat, and suggestions for self discipline.
TEAM School students are supported in their learning so that they can feel confident when tackling new tasks. New skills and concepts are presented in a scaffolded manner. As a specific skill (or set of skills) develop, the support is diminished and eventually removed completely.
