RMS was founded in 1969, placing it within the first cohort of Montessori schools in the country. As with those of its vintage, RMS has a long reputation for providing a quality program, one that has a high fidelity with the core aspects of the method. The school has grown to comprise four campuses, allowing for a nice range of resources while also maintaining a close-knit community environment at each location. RMS has also grown into its own identity, one based in adopting new methods and approaches, as appropriate and when sympathetic to the school’s mandate to educate with an eye to achievement and leadership. The ideal student is one able to thrive in a close-knit, challenging, active, and social learning environment.

Students experience a vibrant school life enriched by athletics, creative exploration, and meaningful engagement with Jewish traditions. Daily routines, such as singing Hatikvah and celebrating Kabbalat Shabbat, nurture a shared sense of belonging.

"At Rowntree Montessori Schools, students build the confidence, independence, and academic strength to progress ahead of provincial standards through an enriched, Montessori-inspired approach. With individualized learning, leadership opportunities, academic competitions, and real-world experiences, Rowntree helps students develop the skills, creativity, and character needed for future success in a caring community where every child is known and supported."
"Calgary Jewish Academy is a modern Jewish day school offering both the Alberta curriculum and Judaic studies. Rooted in Calgary’s Jewish community, CJA combines purposeful learning and academic growth with a close-knit, welcoming culture where students are known, supported, and challenged through clear expectations and strong relationships. From Nursery to Grade 9, students develop skills and understanding with increasing depth across the grades, while growing in confidence, responsibility, and Jewish identity."
"At Rowntree Montessori Schools, we pride ourselves on our caring and stimulating approach to learning where we create a family oriented environment. Our smaller class sizes make it possible for teachers to develop close working relationships with our students and their families. We create a motivating and friendly atmosphere while addressing the individual learning needs and styles of each student."
"CJA differentiates itself through the intentional integration of academic learning, Jewish identity, and student support. Our dual curriculum is designed so students engage deeply with both Alberta academics and Jewish learning without compromise, building skills and understanding progressively over time. Small class sizes allow teachers to maintain clear academic expectations while tailoring instruction to how students learn. Dedicated educational assistants, counselling support, and social-emotional learning structures are embedded to help students meet expectations with confidence. Jewish identity is not taught in isolation, but lived through curriculum, community, and daily school life. The outcome is capable, confident students who know who they are and how to navigate complexity with clarity and purpose."
"To maintain our commitment to holistic development and global standards, we prioritize small class sizes, which limit the number of students we can accept each year. This ensures personalized attention but may mean families face a competitive admissions process. With limited spaces available each year, we always encourage parents to start on the admissions process as early as possible. Additionally, our focus on integrating Montessori methods with modern educational practices requires ongoing professional development for our staff, which demands substantial investment in time and resources to maintain our high educational standards."
"CJA has made deliberate choices about what kind of school it aims to be. Rather than expanding program offerings, the school prioritizes depth of learning, continuity of relationships, and coherence across the grades. This means investing time and resources in curriculum alignment, Jewish identity, student well-being, and support systems, even when those investments are less immediately visible than facilities or extensive programming. CJA balances tradition and innovation thoughtfully, choosing integration and meaning over rapid change. In an uncertain world, the school has placed particular emphasis on safety, preparedness, and emotional security as foundational to learning. These choices shape a school experience focused on academic growth, confidence, character, and belonging."
"Our school's history is marked by key junctures that have shaped our current identity. Joining the International Schools Partnership was a significant milestone, aligning us with global educational standards and expanding our students' horizons. The integration of the STEAM curriculum represented a critical evolution in our educational approach, ensuring our students are equipped with the skills necessary for a rapidly changing world. Our consistent commitment to small class sizes and personalized education has remained steadfast, creating a nurturing environment where students thrive academically and socially. Celebrating over a decade as Brampton's top choice for private education, our history reflects a dedication to community building and educational excellence, evidenced by the long-standing relationships we have with our families and alumni."
"Calgary Jewish Academy was founded in 1987 through the amalgamation of Calgary’s first Jewish day schools: the Calgary Hebrew School (1912) and the I.L. Peretz School (1927). This unification brought together strong academic traditions and a shared commitment to Jewish learning, identity, and community. These roots established a foundation of educational excellence and communal responsibility that continues to shape CJA today. Over time, the school has evolved to meet the changing needs of families while remaining grounded in its values and purpose."
"Rowntree students are kind, considerate, and thoughtful individuals. They're naturally curious and always always growing. Our students will continuously seek unique avenues to education and appreciate one another. Students at Rowntree embrace new experiences."
"Students who thrive at CJA are curious, engaged learners who respond well to clear expectations, structure, and strong relationships. Families who value both academic growth and Jewish identity find strong alignment with our approach. CJA is well suited for students who want to learn, grow, and connect to Jewish values, traditions, and Hebrew language alongside peers in a close-knit community. Families seeking personalized attention, inclusive support for diverse learners, and an environment that fosters confidence, responsibility, belonging, and shared identity will find CJA a strong fit."
"We would advise a family against choosing Rowntree Montessori Schools if they seek a purely traditional educational model that does not incorporate innovative practices or global perspectives. Families who prioritize large class sizes and less individualized attention may not find our environment suitable. Additionally, if a family prefers an educational setting that focuses solely on academic achievements without emphasis on social and emotional development, they might not align with our holistic approach, which integrates leadership and personal growth."
"CJA may not be the best fit for families seeking a highly competitive or anonymous school environment, or those who prefer a single-focus academic model without integrated values or identity-based learning. Families looking for large class sizes, minimal structure, or limited community engagement may find CJA’s close-knit, values-driven approach less aligned with their expectations. Our emphasis on clear expectations, shared responsibility, and Jewish life shapes the learning experience at CJA."
"Rowntree Montessori Schools produces life-long learners and truly prepares our students for future academic and social success. Our diverse community and academically progressive programs, such as STEAM and Pre-K French, alongside our inclusive teachers and staff members result in our students consistently achieving above provincial standards."
"Families choose CJA for its ability to combine purposeful academics with Jewish identity in a deeply supportive and caring community. Parents value small classes, personalized attention, and a school culture where students are known, protected, and supported from the Early Years onward. Families also appreciate the clarity and consistency of CJA’s academic program, where skills and understanding build intentionally from year to year. Many families point to the confidence, character, and sense of belonging their children develop, as well as CJA’s emphasis on community participation and preparing students to navigate real-world complexity with resilience and purpose."
"Our school is viewed as a leading institution for private education in Brampton, known for its excellence in blending Montessori principles with modern educational practices. We are recognized for our commitment to nurturing well-rounded students, excelling academically and socially. The public perceives us as a welcoming and vibrant community where individual attention supports student success. Our reputation for innovative learning, particularly in STEAM and leadership, and our alignment with international standards, reinforce our image as a forward-thinking, dynamic school that prepares students for future challenges."
"CJA is widely recognized as a welcoming, values-driven Jewish day school with a strong sense of community. It is known for offering a structured learning environment that balances academic expectations with care for student well-being, and for providing a safe, supportive setting where Jewish identity is affirmed. The school’s long-standing presence in Calgary’s Jewish community contributes to its reputation for stability, trust, and educational quality."
"Rowntree is partnered with International Schools Partnerships; this allows our students to be globally connected with over 80 schools around the world! Our student body partakes in global events allowing them to collaborate with students around the world. These events are hosted through clubs ran on campus, such as: ISP Scientist, ISP Chess Competition, ISP Virtual Buddy Exchange, ISP Math Contest, ISP Model United Nations, and ISP Film Festival."
"Families sometimes underestimate how intentionally CJA’s culture of care supports learning. Beyond small classes, students benefit from counsellors, educational assistants, and social-emotional learning supports embedded throughout the school. Clear expectations, consistent relationships, and proactive safety practices create the conditions for focus, engagement, and academic growth. This foundation allows students to build character, resilience, and trust in themselves and their learning over time."
"Over the years, parents are amazed at how well-rounded our programme is. Rowntree setsour students up for success with their further experiences, both academically and socially. This takes place not just during regular scheduled classes, but also within the co-curricular programmes that are provided to the student body. Every grade is unique and the programmes provided reflects the transitions from primary years to middle years."
"Many families are surprised by how early students begin developing confidence and self-advocacy at CJA. Starting in Nursery, children are encouraged to express themselves, build independence, and understand expectations within a supportive environment. Over time, parents notice strong communication skills, self-awareness, and a growing sense of responsibility that continues to develop through the grades. This continuity, supported by consistent relationships and emotional care, often results in students who are more resilient and self-assured than families initially expect."
"Recently, we've enhanced our STEAM curriculum to incorporate the latest advancements in technology and innovation, ensuring our students are well-prepared for future challenges. We've also strengthened our leadership training, providing students with more opportunities to develop essential skills. Joining the International Schools Partnership has enriched our educational offerings with global perspectives and opportunities. Additionally, we've upgraded our facilities to support an engaging learning environment and expanded our professional development programs for teachers, ensuring they are well-equipped to deliver our unique blend of Montessori and progressive education."
"In recent years, CJA has focused on strengthening leadership, clarity, and consistency across the school. This has included refining the dual curriculum, strengthening curriculum alignment, expanding social-emotional learning and counselling supports, and deepening inclusive teaching practices. A renewed emphasis on collaboration, communication, and shared expectations has helped create greater stability and coherence, ensuring students are well supported academically, emotionally, and socially."
"In the next five years, we will continue to innovate by expanding our STEAM and leadership programs, further integrating international perspectives into our curriculum. We plan to enhance our facilities and technology infrastructure to support cutting-edge learning experiences. Our focus on fostering a nurturing and inclusive community will remain, with an ongoing commitment to developing well-rounded and globally-minded students ready for high school and beyond."
"Over the next five years, CJA will continue strengthening the coherence of its academic program while deepening its integrated approach to Jewish learning and student well-being. Curriculum alignment and instructional practices will further support learning that builds with increasing depth across the grades. Students will have more opportunities for experiential learning, leadership, and meaningful community engagement. Continued investment in student support services and inclusive teaching practices will ensure students are prepared to navigate academic challenges and real-world complexity with confidence, identity, and purpose."

Selecting the right school is a significant decision, and we are here to assist you in this important process. We support students throughout their entire elementary journey, all while helping them build lasting friendships as they graduate from Grade 8.
We look forward to welcoming you soon!
Darlene Schewske
Head of School
Welcome to Calgary Jewish Academy. Choosing the right school is an important decision, and I’m glad you’re learning more about a community where learning, identity, and care are intentionally connected.
At CJA, students experience a dual curriculum that integrates the Alberta curriculum with Jewish studies, Hebrew language, and values-based learning. From the Early Years onward, students learn in small, supportive environments where relationships matter, curiosity is encouraged, and learning is both academic and experiential. We support students not only to achieve academically, but to build confidence, character, and a strong sense of self.
CJA has deep roots in Calgary’s Jewish community, shaped by the legacy of the Calgary Hebrew School and the I.L. Peretz School. Today, that foundation continues through strong alumni connections and an active, engaged school community. I invite you to explore CJA and consider whether this is the right place for your child and family.
Traditional
Information not available
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.
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.

Every subject curriculum aims to develops a well-rounded student. A progressive academic focus with an emphasis on character, values, and extra-curricular.
Calgary Jewish Academy offers a fully integrated dual curriculum that combines the Alberta curriculum with Jewish studies, Hebrew language, and values-based learning. Academics are rigorous, developmentally appropriate, and designed to build skills progressively over time. Teachers emphasize critical thinking, inquiry, and real-world application, supported by experiential learning opportunities that deepen understanding and relevance. Jewish learning is woven throughout the school day and connects classroom learning to identity, ethics, and community life. Hebrew is taught as a living language, supporting cultural connection and communication. Small classes allow for personalized instruction and strong relationships, while educational assistants, counselling support, and social-emotional learning ensure students with diverse needs are supported. The academic approach balances structure with flexibility, helping students grow academically while developing confidence, responsibility, and resilience in an increasingly complex world.

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.
Not applicable
Our program approach would be best described as phonics-intensive up to and including Grade 3. From Grade 3 onward, our approach is one more of balanced Literacy.

The systematic approach to teaching beginner writing focuses on directly imparting explicit sentence construction strategies, along with planning, revising, and editing skills. Students are asked to learn these explicit strategies and skills and practice them before applying them in more holistic writing assignments. Grammar and parts of sentences tend to have a central role in systematic writing instruction.

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.

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.
Our Kindergarten Montessori programme takes a balanced approach to learning by creating an engaging and highly academic experience. Students learn in a safe and nurturing environment where they participate in a variety of hands-on activities that promote critical thinking. Taking a Montessori-inspired approach to learning, children build a strong foundation in Mathematics, Reading, Writing, and Problem Solving. The programme is filled with opportunities to learn new skills, discover the world around them and experience positive social interactions.

Standard-enriched
The main curriculum accelerates beyond the pace of the provincial one; ALL students do the work of OLDER public-school peers in tangible and measurable ways. This accelerated pace is maintained by the teachers and school, (through textbook selection, topic selection, grading, assignment standards and expectations, etc).
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.
With Rowntree's smaller class sizes and direct teacher involvement, students have the opportunity to grow and develop at their own rate of progress.
Teachers use differentiated instruction and flexible in-class grouping to meet students where they are. Instruction is adjusted through varied tasks, supports, and expectations, allowing students to be appropriately challenged while maintaining shared learning goals and classroom community.
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.
Our academic culture encourages and nurtures all of our students to achieve at their highest potential, with enrichment or remediation as required.
CJA’s academic culture is supportive and growth-oriented, with an emphasis on effort, progress, and confidence rather than pressure or competition. Teachers set clear expectations and support students in meeting them through guidance, feedback, and individualized support. Learning is designed to be engaging, meaningful, and developmentally appropriate, helping students build skills and curiosity at their own pace. Academic success is encouraged within a caring environment where students feel safe to take risks, ask questions, and learn from mistakes. This approach nurtures capable, motivated learners with a positive relationship to school.
"We honour and distinguish our brightest students, using them as examples for other students to follow."

Rowntree students are prepared to fully engage in school life. Positive attitude, varied interests, respect for themselves and others, and academic capability are amongst the most important attributes for students and their families to bring to RMS. While the school has a strong focus on “STEM” (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) oriented classes and activities, Rowntree is also well known for its vibrant arts and athletics programs, and community involvement.
CJA looks for students who are curious, open to learning, and ready to engage in a close-knit school community. Successful students are those who benefit from structure, supportive relationships, and clear expectations, while being encouraged to ask questions, take risks, and grow at their own pace. An openness to Jewish learning, Hebrew language, and participation in community life is important, as is a willingness to collaborate with peers and teachers. Most of all, we seek students who want to learn in an environment where effort, kindness, responsibility, and personal growth are valued alongside academic progress.
Rowntree Montessori School challenges its students towards Academic Excellence while developing the whole-child. We welcome all student applications regardless of academic level, learning styles or previous private school attendance.
