OUR KIDS' school rankings help Burlington families compare private and independent schools by factors that matter, like tuition fees, student-teacher ratios, and admissions standards. We’ve collaborated with Canadian schools for over 20 years to help them articulate their strengths. The rankings below can point you in useful directions, but they don’t tell the whole story. Only you can decide what’s truly best for your child.
Explore the complete list of Burlington schools on OUR KIDS, the guide families trust to make the right choice.
We encourage you to use these rankings within a well-researched school selection process—one that considers multiple schools and explores what each Burlington school uniquely provides. Overreliance on simplistic numerical comparisons will lead you to missed opportunities. Finding the best school for your child should be a deeply considered project that takes into account a diverse range of factors. Look at how schools handle applications, their curricular strengths, teaching philosophies, co-curricular offerings, learning support, and enrichment programs, to help you understand which environment your child will thrive in.
OUR KIDS' tools and guidance are built to give you substantive support in a diligent search. Those include:
