View full reportFounded in 1978, Wishing Well is one of the older Montessori programs in the region, as well as the country, so has had a lot of time to develop its programs. Today it provides the foundational elements of the method, including a strong sense of place, as well as a wealth of opportunity to peer interaction. The Casa classrooms are of a size that the work well, allowing for mentorship relationships to develop naturally among the students. In addition, the administration has demonstrated a keen desire to develop the program with an eye to the kinds of things that students need when they advance to grade 9 and beyond, including a keen interest in developing 21st century literacies, including digital literacy and a robust science curricula. The extended care option, included in tuition, is understandably a very welcome feature for the families that enroll; it’s also a sign of the school’s attention to the needs of the parent community. The school has built a reputation on providing a strong, varied program based firmly in the ethos of the Montessori method, with an eye to educating students to be creative, confident, and social learners.

Progressive
Information not available
Liberal Arts curricula share with traditional programs their emphasis on core knowledge-acquisition, but tend to borrow more best practices from the progressive approach. A Liberal Arts program might still feature group work and projects, for example, contrary to the more singular emphasis on tests and essays at a Traditional program.
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.

Howlett Academy’s academic programs prepare our students for higher order thinking while ensuring they have many opportunities to develop their confidence and self-esteem. Each student develops at a slightly different pace, creating a need for fluid age groupings and an education plan that is tailored towards his or her cognitive, social and emotional needs. If the student is ahead or needs additional help, the education plan will be adjusted accordingly. As the student masters different disciplines, the teacher will adjust the curriculum to encourage and challenge the student to develop higher levels of thought and action. Individual progress is carefully monitored.
Wishing Well Elementary School prioritizes individual student achievement within a culture of high standards. Our enriched learning environment, aligned with Ontario Curriculum guidelines, advances students one grade level ahead, as demonstrated by outstanding CAT 4 standardized testing results. Incorporating 21st-century tools, classrooms feature interactive devices like Chromebooks, iPads, Spheros, 3D printing, microbits, and 3D pens. Technology is seamlessly integrated, enhancing research, writing, creativity, and critical thinking skills. The Design Thinking/STEAM program stands out, fostering problem-based learning for real-world applications, such as a captivating naval ship redesign project for Grade 8 students. Lunchtime clubs, including sports, arts, and social justice, enrich extracurricular experiences, while bi-annual trips to Quiet Waters offer crucial outdoor education experiences. Graduates leave with a strong sense of citizenship, academic readiness for specialized programs, and a lasting joy for learning, propelling them beyond their academic journey.

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.

We employ diverse tools to reinforce mathematical concepts, ensuring both automaticity and a profound understanding of complex problems. Specialized math teachers cater to students from grades 6 to 8. Our Math curriculum integrates STEAM lessons, challenging students with problems approached through the engineering design process. Coding instruction begins in Grade 1 and extends to Grade 6, with a more intensive focus on computer science in Grades 7 and 8.

Calculators are used at more advanced levels of mathematics after students have learned important fundamental skills.
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.

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).

Medium 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.
Effort is made to integrate the development of digital literacy through the curriculum. However, this is not a dominant focus.

Integrating diverse technology into lessons is vital as it enhances the learning experience, making it more interactive, engaging, and reflective of real-world applications. Technology provides tools for research, collaboration, and skill development, preparing students for a tech-driven society. However, it is crucial to recognize that technology is just one facet of effective learning. Traditional methods, hands-on experiences, and personal interactions are equally essential. A balanced approach acknowledges that students have diverse learning styles, ensuring a comprehensive and adaptable education that combines technological innovation with time-tested teaching methods for a well-rounded learning experience.

Physical education is a crucial component of a well-rounded education for elementary children for several reasons. Firstly, it promotes physical health and wellness, helping to develop fundamental motor skills, coordination, and cardiovascular fitness. Regular physical activity is linked to improved concentration, cognitive function, and overall mental well-being, contributing to better academic performance. Additionally, physical education instills essential life skills such as teamwork, communication, and sportsmanship, fostering social and emotional development. It encourages a positive attitude toward a healthy, active lifestyle, establishing habits that can last a lifetime. Beyond the physical benefits, PE provides a break from the academic routine, revitalizing students and contributing to a more holistic and balanced educational experience.
Montessori
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.
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.
If you want to learn more about Montessori education, check out our comprehensive guide. You can also check out our guide to Montessori preschools, elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools.
Throughout the day the teachers will work with individual children, small groups and the whole class. The kindergarten curriculum is based on a mastery approach to education, whereby fundamentals and concepts are repeatedly taught until the student has grasped a strong understanding of the material. Once proficient, new and more challenging material is introduced. Guided-played is used as a tool to help enhance the child’s cognitive, social and physical development. The kindergarten curriculum is well-planned and modified for those who are ahead or need additional help. Individual progress is carefully monitored.
Our focus is to provide students with a stimulating and academically challenging education that is deeply committed to the Montessori principles so that they may reach their full potential with integrity and trust. Embracing the future, we further prepare our Montessori students for the enriched Elementary program by introducing STEAM, coding, and project based learning within our school day. Wishing Well Schools adheres to the CCMA guidelines and, as an accredited CCMA school, our standard of excellence is

Rigorous
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”.
