Crawford is one of those schools that, for whatever reason, has flown a bit below the radar. It was established in 1953 with a dedication to providing a close-knit learning environment based in Christian teaching. The community is a highlight, to be sure, and while families are attracted to the academic program, and the values that inform it, it’s the community that alumni speak of first as the thing they appreciated most while there. Spaces are clean, open, and the campus has a welcome polished feel. While not an international school per se, students are attracted from overseas, and homestay programs are arranged in partnership with the school. The international students add a diversity to the population, and add dimension to the student experience. The ideal student is one preparing to advance to university programs in North America.

"Established in 1953, Crawford is committed to the holistic development of our students through academic excellence, spiritual nurture, enhancement of social & physical abilities. With an emphasis in music, science, technology, sports, we are a balanced, co-ed family of schools - campus locations in North York (Main JK-12), Pickering (East JK-8) & Mississauga (Peel JK-8) - that successfully develops students for post-secondary education & their chosen career path and to remain committed to a lifestyle of service."
"Monarch Academy is a private school for children with autism, offering a personalized, strengths-based education in a supportive environment where every child feels they truly belong. Our interdisciplinary team integrates therapy and academics to promote social, emotional, and academic growth. With small class sizes, individualized learning plans, and a focus on connection and confidence, we help each student reach their full potential."
"We blend rigorous academics with the values of Christian character education, developing both the minds and hearts of our students. Our Christ-centred approach is linked with smaller class sizes and personalized instruction, ensuring that teachers are attuned to each student’s unique strengths and aspirations. We prioritize active participation in music, sports, and science, utilizing extracurricular opportunities to reinforce leadership, teamwork, and responsibility. Distinctively, our school culture encourages community engagement and service, with students actively involved in music ministry and outreach projects. Through holistic education, including spiritual growth, critical thinking, and physical activity, we prepare students to excel academically and become compassionate, effective leaders, surpassing the boundaries of traditional schooling."
"At Monarch House, above all else, is the belief that being different can be a super-power. This informs how we approach creating unique educational programs for our students. Our educational approach for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is uniquely family-centered, individualized, and evidence-based. We actively involve families in every aspect of their child's education, ensuring consistency and reinforcement at home. Our personalized learning plans are tailored to each student's unique needs and continuously adjusted based on progress. We use the latest research and best practices to ensure effective teaching methods."
"To maintain small class sizes and provide personalized, holistic Christian education, we focus resources on critical programs, music, science, athletics, and faith formation, occasionally limiting the range of specialized electives or luxury amenities. This ensures depth and quality in student experiences and community engagement."

"Crawford Adventist Academy’s journey began in 1953, when the Willowdale Seventh-day Adventist Church opened Toronto Junior Academy to serve the educational needs of its children. The addition of a purpose-built facility, made possible by the generosity of Dr. Erwin Crawford, set the stage for growth and innovation, and his name became an inspiration for the school's identity. In 1978, the creation of the Toronto Adventist District School Board united local Adventist churches in a shared vision for holistic education, providing stability, resources, and governance as the school expanded. Responding to community demands, the academy added junior high and high school grades in the early 1980s. The 1990s and 2000s saw further milestones as new campuses opened in Pickering (East) and Mississauga (Peel), allowing Crawford to serve a growing and diverse student body. Each expansion reflected Crawford’s core mission: to deliver Christ-centred, whole-person education for students across the Gre"

"Crawford Adventist Academy is ideal for students and families who value a well-rounded, faith-based education integrating academic rigour with spiritual, musical, and athletic pursuits. Students who engage deeply in community service, appreciate small class environments, and actively nurture personal integrity and leadership skills thrive here. We welcome those eager to ask questions, seek growth beyond academics, and show respect for diversity. Students do not have to be Seventh-day Adventist, but must be open to a Christ-centred environment. A genuine desire to contribute positively, embrace service opportunities, and balance study with extracurricular involvement are key indicators of fit within our supportive and caring school community."
"At Monarch House, we often welcome students who have experienced other learning environments and realized that larger classrooms and traditional educational approaches aren't the best fit for them. Whether they come from public schools or other private institutions, our smaller class sizes and specialized individual instruction are much more effective for our students. Many of our students were previously the ones who "fell through the cracks." They might be shy or easily overstimulated, leading to academic and social struggles in traditional settings. While they might get through the day in a larger environment, they truly thrive in our smaller, more personalized setting."
"If a family prefers an academically focused institution without integration of Christian principles, Crawford may not align with their desires. Our curriculum is Christ-centred, and participation in religious activities is integral. Those looking for highly specialized academic or extracurricular tracks, such as extensive Advanced Placement courses or elite athletic programs, may not find their preferences met. Families uncomfortable with regular faith-based instruction, required community service, or engagement in music and the arts may feel out of place. Furthermore, if a student is disinclined toward community engagement, active participation, or upholding our core values of service and respect, alternate schools may better accommodate their educational needs and values."

"Families are drawn to Crawford Adventist Academy by our holistic, Christ-centred education, which consistently yields high academic achievement, a compassionate peer culture, and a strong sense of community. Our proven record for university acceptance, individualized attention in small classes, and rich musical and athletic programs attract those looking for comprehensive student growth. Active engagement in service and a supportive, nurturing ethos that prioritizes both spiritual and academic development make our school stand out as a trusted, well-rounded choice."

"Crawford Adventist Academy enjoys a strong reputation in the community as a trusted provider of Christian education. We are recognized for our unwavering commitment to academic excellence, character building, and service. The public perceives us as producing well-rounded graduates who succeed academically, contribute positively to their communities, and demonstrate spiritual maturity. Our music and sports involvement are highly regarded, and our supportive environment attracts families desiring a safe, constructive learning setting. Relationships built with local churches and community organizations further validate our standing as an institution dedicated to both scholastic and societal betterment, making us a preferred option for holistic education."

"Our robust music program is often underrecognized for the transformative impact it has on student confidence and community connection. From early grades, students engage in music lessons and ensemble performances at church services and public events, encouraging teamwork, discipline, and expression. Another underappreciated area is our deep focus on early literacy, which sees even Senior Kindergarten students achieving reading skills well above the norm, providing a foundation for long-term academic success. The seamless integration of faith with curriculum, where values, service, and academics reinforce each other, may also go unnoticed compared to standardized achievements. Families who choose us often comment on the strong bonds formed, the genuine care among staff and peers, and the real-world readiness their children gain."

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.
Progressive (sometimes called "in- quiry-based") curricula attempt to place children's interests and ideas at the heart of the learning experience. Instead of lessons being driven by predetermined pathways, progressive curricula are often "emergent", with learning activities shaped by students' questions about the world. Instead of starting with academic concepts and then tying it to everyday experience, progressive methods begin with everyday experience and work back to an academic lesson. Teachers provide materials, experiences, tools and resources to help students investigate a topic or issue. Students are encouraged to explore, reflect on their findings, and discuss answers or solutions.

Our curriculum is developed with each of our learners learning needs in mind. Our approach is strength-based and individualized.
Equal Balance
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.
These math programs feature an equal balance of “Traditional” and “Discovery” methods.

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.

Inquiry
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.
Inquiry-based science emphasizes teaching science as a way of thinking or practice, and therefore tries to get students “doing” science as much as possible -- and not just “learning” it. Students still learn foundational scientific ideas and content (and build on this knowledge progressively); however, relative to expository science instruction, inquiry-based programs have students spend more time developing and executing their own experiments (empirical and theoretical). Students are frequently challenged to develop critical and scientific-thinking skills by developing their own well-reasoned hypothesis and finding ways to test those hypotheses. Projects and experiments are emphasized over textbook learning. Skills are emphasized over breadth of knowledge.

Traditional
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).

Heavy integration
A major effort is made to integrate the development of digital literacy throughout the curriculum and in everything students do. Digital literacy is understood to be a fundamental skill in the 21st century: it therefore follows, the idea goes, that teachers should find ways to connect every lesson back to technology. Effort is made to ensure the use of technology is meaningful and advances students’ skills beyond what they would otherwise be from using computers outside the classroom.

Play-based
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.
Play-based programs are the most common type of preschool and Kindergarten, and are founded on the belief young children learn best through play. Largely open-ended and minimally structured, play-based programs aim to develop social skills and a love of attending school. “Pre-academic” skills are taught, but in a more indirect way than at, say, an Academic program: through children playing in different “stations” set up around the classroom, which children choose on their own volition. Stations often contain an indirect lesson or developmental goal. Play-based classrooms are highly social and active.

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.
Information not available
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.
