Mentor College and TEAM School are closely associated, something that brings unique strengths to both. They are overseen by a single administrative body, and they share some facilities, services, and extracurricular programs. The benefits are in a shared infrastructure and organizational efficiency. The facilities are modern and robust, as are student services and transportation. There is a robust, rich program of extra-curricular activity, something that, again, is a benefit of not only the school's size, but also the intra-school associations and programs. That said, the division of the campuses gives each—high school, intermediate, and primary—its own sense of propriety and identity. It's a unique model, one that gains both the benefits of a large student population, as well as those of smaller communities of students. In numbers, this is one of the largest schools in Canada, though the lived experience of the families that attend doesn't bear that out. Frequent and casual communication between parents and teachers, as well, underscores a personal, student and family-centered approach.
View full reportNewton’s Grove began its life in 1977 as the first private school in Mississauga, known then as Mississauga Private School. It soon moved to Etobicoke, though returned to Mississauga in 2015, moving into its permanent location in 2017. The moves are symptomatic of the school’s growth, based in a growing reputation for its academics coupled with a robust athletic program. Values, too, are a draw, with a dedication to promoting respect and responsibility throughout the curricular areas. The ideal student is one able to thrive in a challenging, vibrant, socially oriented environment.

"Mentor College provides a strong academic program for its students. A caring environment rich in personal attention has been established, and this positive atmosphere both allows and encourages students to think and reason for themselves. The school places emphasis on communication between the teacher, parent, and student. The homework book, monthly teacher phone call, and regular assessment ensure that this communication is clear and current. Located in Port Credit, Mississauga, the High School (Grades 9 to 12) and Intermediate (Grades 5 to 8) levels are housed at the Main Campus. An adjacent Primary Campus is home to the JK to Grade 4 students. The facilities include an indoor pool, artificial turf field, seasonal dome, multiple age and grade-appropriate gyms, science labs, and music rooms. Co-curricular trips to the school's Outdoor Education Centre in Muskoka enhance in-class learning in the upper grades. Extracurricular activities abound, and include learning opportunities in sports, music, drama and special-interest clubs."
"Newton’s Grove offers 48 years of excellence with balanced programming from PK–Grade 12. Small classes ensure personalized support so every student reaches their full potential. We maintain a 100% university acceptance rate, with graduates attending top institutions in Canada and worldwide. Our state-of-the-art campus features advanced labs, arts spaces, and a 32,000 sq. ft. athletic centre set on 100 acres. Our inquiry-based curriculum fosters independence, critical thinking, and confidence for future success."
"Mentor College offers a consistently high quality of education from JK through to university entrance. Students benefit from this continuity as they progress through the grades and transition from the Primary to Intermediate to High School Divisions."
"Founded in 1977, Newton’s Grove is one of the few Pre-K to Grade 12 schools in the GTA’s west end. Small class size, high academic standards (including AP), a university acceptance rate that is consistently 100%, a well-rounded program in the arts (including our signature music program), technology, leadership, and athletics (over 60 varsity teams), all in a state-of-the-art facility surrounded by 100 acres of greenspace – that’s the Newton’s Grove Difference!"

Cheri Grogan believes that it is our role as educators to create a learning environment where we push our students to think critically and dig for deeper understanding through a balanced approach between traditional concept teaching, and more investigative inquiry-based approaches. And it is through this balanced approach of teaching and fostering a deeper understanding that provides the students with open-mindedness, curiosity and guided skepticism. She also believes that it is imperative that we embrace creativity, collaboration, authentic assessments and deep inquiry to awaken a passion for lifelong learning. At Newton’s Grove, we share this belief, and as such we continue to provide an exceptional academic program because we know that it is no longer about asking students what they want to be when they grow up, instead, we challenge and ask them what problems they would like to solve.
Progressive
Information not available
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 holistic approach focuses on all aspects of student's development, the academic, the physical and the social, with an emphasis on a positive attitude, self-discipline, accountability, and personal responsibility. We foster that development through an inquiry based program that stresses literacy and numeracy, the importance of STEM, engagement in the arts, physical activity and athletics. In doing so, we challenge students to strive for excellence, to think for themselves, and to find their own voices.

These math programs feature an equal balance of “Traditional” and “Discovery” methods.
These math programs feature an equal balance of “Traditional” and “Discovery” methods.
Our Mathematics Programme is designed to provide students with a thorough understanding of applied mathematics, with each grade level building progressively on the skills and concepts developed in previous courses. Students are assessed through a variety of traditional methods, including tests and quizzes, as well as projects, observations, conversations, and our Mastery Programme, which encourages deeper understanding and skill development. Our goal is to support students in achieving their highest potential and preparing them for the rigours of university-level study. In addition, we offer Advanced Placement courses in AP Calculus (AB and BC) and AP Statistics. Students are also introduced to relevant technologies that enhance mathematical learning and problem-solving, while emphasizing the importance of strong foundational skills and independent thinking rather than reliance on technology alone.

Balanced Literacy
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.
Balanced reading programs are typically Whole Language programs with supplementary phonics training. This training might be incidental, or it might take the form of mini-lessons.
In the Primary Division, we introduce phonics to students Junior Kindergarten with Jolly Phonics - a kinesthetic, movement-based program that associates a sound with an action.

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.
These literature programs draw in equal measure from “Traditional” and “Social Justice” programs.

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 audio-lingual method of teaching foreign languages emphasizes the use of repetition and a system of immediate reinforcement and feedback. The method makes particular use of oral drills where students are expected to correctly imitate (or intentionally alter) an utterance made by the teacher in the target language. Quizzes and worksheets are also used extensively.
These programs feature an equal blend of the audio-lingual and communicative styles of language instruction.
Mentor College uses more of a Grammar-Translation Method for teaching French. This approach focuses on students' ability to read and interpret passages in the target language, as well as their ability to translate from one language into the other. Memorization of grammatical rules and native-language equivalents of the target language vocabulary are highly emphasized through highly structured class work that often involves worksheets, quizzes, and tests, which primarily focus on reading and writing skills.

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.
These programs have an equal emphasis on receptive and creative learning.
In the Primary Division, Visual Arts is taught by homeroom teachers, while a specialist Music teacher works with students from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 4. The year culminates in a whole school production that integrates theatre, music, and visual arts. In the Intermediate Division, the Grade 5 and 6 Guitar Music Program develops musical literacy, performance skills, and creativity. Students learn notation, rhythm, melody, and foundational guitar techniques while building confidence through individual and group performance. The program supports Ontario Arts curriculum expectations in creating, responding, and exploring cultural contexts. In High School, the Creative Arts Department offers a dynamic program in Music, Visual Arts, and Media Arts, including graphic design, photography, and film. Students further engage through theatre productions, concerts, exhibitions, and festivals, showcasing their talents and creative growth.
Students reach new heights as they are both challenged and exposed to the power and joy of the arts while having opportunities to foster the qualities of a superior arts program: self-discipline, leadership, and a life-long love for the arts.

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.

With our philosophy of “Classrooms That Think” at the forefront of our program, we prioritize deep thinking and learning, encouraging the development of critical thinking skills. Our curriculum aligns with best practices in child development and incorporates: inquiry based learning, teacher directed instruction, cross-curricular integration, connecting concepts across subjects, developmentally appropriate expectations for each grade level, emphasis on global competencies including collaboration, communication, creativity, and citizenship.
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.

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.
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”.
