"At Manor Montessori, programs are thoughtfully designed to build on each other, creating a strong foundation for success at every stage. With long-tenured, experienced staff across two North Toronto campuses, we offer a connected Montessori experience grounded in authentic AMI principles and materials. A focus on early reading, writing, math, low ratios, and an outstanding French program. Manor is an authentic educational environment for all our students ages 18m–Gr. 4—where children reach their full potential."
"At Manor Montessori, we educate the whole child. While strong academics are a priority, we place equal emphasis on developing resilience, independence, confidence, and emotional well-being. Through authentic Montessori materials, a carefully prepared environment, and individualized guidance, students learn by doing, exploring, and progressing at their own pace. Teachers know each child well and provide the right balance of challenge and support. Instead of relying on external rewards or pressure, children develop intrinsic motivation, problem-solving skills, self-discipline, and a genuine love of learning. This approach helps reduce anxiety, builds confidence through mastery, and encourages students to take responsibility for their learning and persevere through challenges.
The result is that Manor graduates are academically strong, confident, adaptable, and resilient—ready for wherever they go next, whether that is a private school, French Immersion program, or their community school."
"At Manor Montessori, our commitment to authentic Montessori education and whole-child development requires intentional tradeoffs.
We prioritize individualized, self-paced learning over standardized, whole-class pacing. Students progress when they are developmentally ready, which means learning paths differ but mastery is deeper and more secure.
We also prioritize hands-on Montessori materials over worksheets, testing, and heavy use of digital programs. This builds stronger conceptual understanding and long-term retention, even though it may look less traditional.
In the early years, we limit the role of technology in favour of real-world, sensory, and experiential learning, supporting focus, independence, and communication.
Finally, we balance academics with emotional development and independence. We believe this leads to more resilient, confident, and capable learners in the long term."
"Manor Montessori’s identity is rooted in grassroots beginnings and steady, intentional growth within the community. The school began in a local church space, where Dana Stewart and Janet Miklas built a program grounded in authentic Montessori principles, educating the whole child and a clear academic focus supporting every child’s success.
As demand grew, a key milestone was the purchase of the South DeSavery location in 2003, allowing the school to better serve an expanding community while maintaining its hands-on, child-centred approach. Continued growth led to the 2015 purchase of the North Mt. Pleasant property.
Throughout this evolution, Manor Montessori has remained committed to educating the whole child through individualized, experiential learning and strong academic foundations. From its grassroots beginnings to today, the school has grown thoughtfully, prioritizing educational integrity and authentic Montessori principles."
"Manor Montessori is welcoming to all students. The strongest indicator of fit is alignment of values and expectations with our families.
Families who thrive in our community value a whole-child approach to education. They understand that strong academics develop alongside independence, resilience, confidence, and emotional well-being. They appreciate that Montessori is a journey—through hands-on learning, repetition, and engagement.
These families trust individualized learning and are comfortable with children progressing at different rates. They value an environment where children are guided to think for themselves, take responsibility, and develop independence in age-appropriate ways.
At Manor Montessori, we are not only teaching academic skills—we help children learn how to learn. Families who align with this philosophy recognize the long-term benefits of raising confident, self-directed learners who are happy, resilient, and ready to succeed in whatever path they pursue."
"Manor Montessori may not be the best fit for families seeking a highly structured, traditional teacher-directed program with uniform pacing, frequent testing, and/or early academic pressure. Our approach is individualized, so children progress at their own pace rather than as a group.
We do not rely on worksheets, test-heavy learning, or a highly technology-driven classroom, which may differ from some families’ expectations. We prioritize hands-on learning, exploration, and mastery through experience. We allow students to make mistakes and learn from them, and we guide rather than lecture or instruct directly.
Montessori encourages independence, choice, and self-regulation, which requires comfort with children taking increasing responsibility for their learning and behaviour. Our school also supports children developing at different rates, which can be challenging for families who prefer standardized timelines, as we focus on individual growth over uniform progression."
"Families choose Manor Montessori for our authentic Montessori principles, strong academics, and whole-child approach. They value an environment that balances academic excellence with independence, confidence, and emotional development.
Our experienced, long-tenured staff and strong leadership are also key reasons families trust us. Together, they ensure consistent, high-quality instruction grounded in deep understanding of child development and Montessori philosophy.
Families are also influenced by the results they see in current students and alumni—children who are confident, capable, and well prepared for a range of future pathways. They leave with strong academic foundations as well as the ability to think independently and adapt.
Manor is not an ordinary private school. It builds a foundation for learning for life, preparing students to thrive wherever they go next."
"Manor Montessori is widely recognized as an authentic Montessori school that combines strong academics with a genuine focus on the whole child. In the public eye, the school is known for providing a calm, nurturing, and purposeful learning environment where children develop independence, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.
When people think of Manor Montessori, they often associate the school with experienced and dedicated educators, small class sizes, individualized attention, strong student outcomes, and a warm, close-knit community. Families value the school's commitment to authentic Montessori principles, its emphasis on character development and leadership, and the visible growth they see in their children academically, socially, and emotionally."
"One aspect of Manor Montessori that is often underappreciated is the depth of learning opportunities beyond the Montessori classroom. While families recognize our nurturing environment and strong academics, they may not fully appreciate the strength of our French program, the richness of our Elementary program, and the variety of clubs and enrichment opportunities available to students.
Our French program helps students build confidence and communication skills from an early age. The Elementary program offers challenging academics, leadership opportunities, collaborative projects, and hands-on learning that foster independence and critical thinking. Clubs, athletics, arts, and enrichment activities further support confidence, creativity, friendships, and personal growth, creating a truly well-rounded educational experience."
"Families are often surprised by the depth of care, commitment, and individualized support their children receive at Manor Montessori. While they may expect strong academics and authentic Montessori education, they quickly discover how deeply our educators know each child and how invested we are in helping every student succeed. We take responsibility for understanding how each child learns and finding ways to support them so they can learn, grow, and thrive alongside their peers.
Many families are also surprised by the power of the Montessori three-year cycle. What can sometimes look like small, incremental steps in the early years is actually part of a carefully designed learning journey. Whether learning to read, write, solve complex math concepts, or build independence, each skill builds upon the last. By the end of the cycle, families often see remarkable growth and recognize how those foundational experiences led to significant, lasting achievement."
"Over the past few years, Manor Montessori has continued to evolve thoughtfully to meet the needs of our students and families while staying true to our Montessori values. Two years ago, we celebrated our 30th anniversary with school community events and a refreshed rebranding that honoured our history and reflects our continued growth.
We are also enhancing our learning environments and student experience. A current key project is the development of a new gym space in the basement at our DeSavery location, further supporting movement, physical education, and whole-child development.
Academically, we are continually refining and strengthening our programs to ensure they remain responsive and relevant."
"Over the next five years, Manor Montessori will continue to deepen its identity as a true Montessori environment while evolving to meet the needs of modern families. Our commitment to authentic Montessori practice will remain central, with a focus on strong academics, independence, and whole-child development across all programs.
We also plan to deepen engagement with our parent community through parenting talks, workshops, and/or events that help families better support their growing children.
We will continue to refine our programs and environments, strengthening our impact while staying true to who we are."
