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.
View full reportWebtree Academy is entering its 10th year, continuing its dedication to personalized academic learning, small class sizes, and ambitious post-secondary planning.

"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."
"Webtree Academy is committed to delivering innovative, future-oriented education rooted in the enduring values of academic rigour, character development, and social responsibility. We believe that strong academic foundations and forward-thinking skills are not in conflict, they are complementary. Our students do not simply study for exams; they develop the confidence, critical thinking, and real-world competencies they need to thrive. Our educators prepare students not just for the next grade, but for the future."
"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."
"Webtree Academy's personalized education model is built on a simple but powerful belief: every student is unique, and education must reflect that. Our student-centred philosophy means that no two learning journeys at Webtree look exactly alike.
In today's AI-driven world, a school's responsibility extends well beyond academic instruction. It is to help each student discover their strengths, find their direction, and build the skills and confidence to pursue it. At Webtree, school is not merely a place of study — it is a platform for transformation.
Our students are supported in an environment that is warm, nurturing, and intellectually stimulating. We believe that children grow best when they feel genuinely cared for — and at Webtree, that care shapes everything we do."
"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."
"At Webtree Academy, we focus on personalized learning and fostering a collaborative, community-driven environment, which means we prioritize in-depth, individualized education over standardized testing. While we maintain high academic standards, our emphasis on collaboration over competition means less focus on rankings and individual achievements. We offer meaningful integration of technology, but also emphasize practical, hands-on experiences."
"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."
"Webtree School has evolved through key milestones that shaped its commitment to academic excellence and personalized learning. From its founding vision of nurturing disciplined, curious students to adopting a personalized learning model, we’ve focused on individual growth. Our investment in specialized labs, such as STEM and Robotics, and the creation of a strong, respectful community have further strengthened our approach. Recent achievements, such as over $1.7 million in scholarships awarded in 2026, highlight our connections with universities and industries, offering real-world opportunities. These milestones continue to guide our mission of preparing students for success in both academics and future careers."
"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."
"The ideal Webtree student is intellectually curious, self-disciplined, and academically focused. They actively engage in class, participate in projects, and embrace critical thinking. Resilient and responsible, these students overcome challenges with determination and demonstrate integrity in all aspects of their school life. They excel in both individual and collaborative work, maintain strong organizational skills, and uphold respect for the school’s values. Webtree families are supportive, value high academic standards, and prioritize discipline and responsibility. They engage in their child's development, maintain high expectations for academic performance, and share the school’s commitment to excellence. These families appreciate structure, accountability, and the importance of respect, working alongside the school to ensure their child’s success."
"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."
"While Webtree offers a personalized learning experience, we understand that it may not be the best fit for every family. For those who prefer a bigger size classrooms, on general plan or less focused environment, our emphasis on discipline, academics, and innovative teaching methods may not be for them. Families who prioritize a more relaxed approach of learning may find our high standards and expectations challenging. Ultimately, Webtree is ideal for families who value discipline, academic excellence, and a nurturing environment."
"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."
"At Webtree, we are committed to offering students a well-rounded and dynamic learning experience, filled with numerous opportunities beyond the classroom. We provide hands-on learning, workshops, and experiences that foster creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Our curriculum is constantly updated to reflect the ever-changing world, offering innovative courses that align with students' potential and career aspirations. With personalized learning plans tailored to each student's goals, we ensure that their academic journey is as unique as they are. Our small class sizes and mentorship-based approach allow our highly qualified teachers—each holding advanced degrees in their respective fields—to build meaningful relationships with students, ensuring they receive expert instruction. This balanced, forward-thinking environment encourages students to think outside the box, prepares them for future challenges, and empowers them to reach their fullest potential."
"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."
"Webtree is known for its unique combination of academic excellence and a close, supportive community. At the core of our school is a personalized learning approach where every single student is seen and encouraged to reach their full potential. With small class sizes and high expectations, we create an environment where critical thinking, responsibility, and intellectual curiosity are nurtured. We aren't just about academic success, we help students grow as individuals, with the confidence and skills they need to thrive both in school and in life. In the public eye, Webtree is recognized as a unique place where learning is not only about achieving great results but also about building character and a strong foundation for the future."
"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."
"One of the most unique aspects of Webtree is the personal attention each student receives due to our small class sizes. Our teachers are more than just instructors, they act as mentors, offering individualized guidance and support. With a focus on one-on-one interaction, students benefit from a truly personalized learning experience that helps them thrive both academically and personally. This close-knit environment ensures each student gets the attention they need to excel, not only in their studies but in developing important life skills. We prioritize character development, instilling values like responsibility, resilience, and empathy, which are essential for success as they grow into responsible, successful adults."
"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."
"One of the most surprising aspects that families often discover about Webtree is the remarkable success our students experience in securing scholarships. In 2024 alone, our students were awarded over $1 million in scholarship. We don’t adopt a one-size-fits-all strategy; we create individualized plans that align with each student’s strengths, interests, and goals. From tailored curriculum counseling to customized extracurricular activities, every aspect of their journey is designed to help them stand out to universities and club committees. Whether it's honing leadership skills, enhancing academic performance, or developing a portfolio of community involvement, we focus on building a well-rounded profile for each student. Families often don’t realize the level of personal attention that goes into helping our students achieve such impressive outcomes. The scholarships our students receive are not just rewards for high marks, but recognition of their growth, and character."
"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."
"At Webtree, we’re constantly improving to offer a well-rounded education. Our recent upgrades include a private chef preparing nutritious meals daily to fuel students for success. We’ve also enhanced our Robotics & Innovation Lab, and Music Production Studio. These spaces provide hands-on learning in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM), while also nurturing creativity and communication skills through music production and podcasts. Additionally, our renovated performance stage allows for larger events, helping students build confidence in public speaking and performance. These improvements ensure that students thrive academically, creatively, and personally, preparing them for success in a rapidly changing world. At Webtree, we’re dedicated to helping students become responsible, innovative, and confident individuals."
"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."
"In the next five years, Webtree will focus on integrating the latest technology into our curriculum, particularly in STEM fields. We plan to enhance our STEM and Robotics programs and our innovation lab. These updates will provide students with hands-on learning experiences and prepare them for future careers in tech and engineering. We aim to strengthen connections with industry leaders, offering students opportunities for internships, mentorships, and real-world projects. By bridging classroom learning with industry experience, students will gain a competitive edge and be better prepared for university and beyond. Through these advancements, Webtree will continue to provide a cutting-edge education that emphasizes innovation, critical thinking, and real-world application, ensuring students are equipped to succeed in a rapidly evolving world."

Head of School
Dear Parents, Students and Staff,
Education has been a lifelong passion and is the greatest gift we can give to our youth. This gift has the transformative power to change lives and continually redefine the limits of what can be achieved. As an educator with almost 40 years’ experience, I am convinced that all students can excel to reach their full potential with the provision of stimulating, holistic, and targeted support.
At Webtree Academy, we value every individual student’s individuality, celebrating their unique identities, interests, and ideas while recognizing their strengths, as well as areas that need improvement, in an inclusive community. As a private school, we aim to nurture our students with global awareness, a sense of citizenship, and critical thinking, in addition to their academic success. Our school offers specialized programs in the Arts (including Portfolio Development for post-secondary studies), Advanced Placement courses, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), and Digital Communication. In addition, we support exceptional athletes (hockey, tennis) in their studies toward post-secondary paths.
Looking forward to another rewarding year to witness our students’ journey toward making and taking their places in the world, I send my warmest thank-you to the parents and mentors who have put their trust in us.
Thank you.
Henry Michels

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.
Not applicable
Every subject curriculum aims to develops a well-rounded student. A progressive academic focus with an emphasis on character, values, and extra-curricular.
At Webtree., we strive to provide our students with the necessary language, academic, and technological skills required for students to achieve their educational and personal goals as well as being successful in post-secondary studies. Additionally, we aim to assist our students to not only better immerse them into Canadian cultural and social environments but also to thrive in a competitive global environment.
Traditional Math
These math programs feature an equal balance of “Traditional” and “Discovery” methods.
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.
Our Mathematics teaching team focuses on developing skills in solving word problems, enhancing performance on test such as GAUSS, CNML (Canadian National Mathematics League), CTBS (Canadian Test of Basic Skills) and Mathematica.
Our OCT Math teachers are qualified in Mathematics and some in Special Education, having the qualifications to manage student groups of varying needs including ESL accommodations, the sequentially-chunked curriculum at a pace that suits the individual student. Being that our mathematics credit courses are Academic and University-level, our focus is to achieve high standards of achievement in preparation for university entrance requirements.
Ministry-approved textbooks along with learning materials from SOLARO.

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.

Not applicable
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.
Not applicable
Letter formation and associated sounds are taught through direct instruction, then followed by application and practice
Information not available
Expository
Science programs that balance expository and inquiry learning equally will likely have an equal blend of tests and experiments; direct, textbook-based instruction and student-centred projects.
Expository science is the more traditional method of teaching science: students learn scientific facts, theories, and the relationships between them through direct instruction by the teacher. These programs still incorporate hands-on experimentation and “live science”; however, relative to inquiry-based programs, expository science tilts towards content mastery and knowledge acquisition. Direct instruction ensures this acquisition process is efficient. Textbooks are emphasized (starting in earlier grades than inquiry-based programs), as are knowledge tests: students are asked to demonstrate they have thoroughly learned the content of the course, and can apply that knowledge to novel and challenging problems or questions.

Our Science OCT teachers are qualified in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics as well as Special Education. Our teachers are qualified to manage student groups of varying needs including ESL accommodations, the sequentially-chunked curriculum at a pace that suits the individual student. Being that our Science credit courses are Academic and University-level, our focus is to achieve high standards of achievement in preparation for university entrance requirements.

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).

Light integration
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.
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.
Classrooms are equipped with state-of-art interactive white boards and Chromebooks (i.e. laptops) are available for all classrooms via mobile carts.
At Webtree, students have access to high-end software for design and technology courses, including Python, Adobe Creative Suite, and C++. They can use personal laptops to complete assignments such as writing essays, creating presentations, or working on design projects. Additionally, our science teachers utilize Virtual Labs to demonstrate physics and chemistry experiments, enhancing the learning experience through interactive and immersive tools.

Our approach to teaching physical education provides a specific blend of activities/sports, healthy living, and movement competence for each age level.
Webtree Academy offers an in-house gym for students, ensuring they have access to top-notch fitness facilities. In addition, we rent external facilities for basketball, soccer, volleyball, and swimming, providing students with a wide range of opportunities to stay active and engage in team sports. These resources support our commitment to fostering both physical well-being and teamwork, helping students achieve a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

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.

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.

Accelerated
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).

This accelerated pace is maintained by the teachers and school, (through textbook selection, topic selection, grading, assignment standards and expectations, etc).
With Rowntree's smaller class sizes and direct teacher involvement, students have the opportunity to grow and develop at their own rate of progress.
At Webtree, credit courses can be completed in 10-week blocks in small-sized groups (ranging from 1-6 students per OCT teacher). Teachers are sensitive to differentiated instruction including multiple intelligences.
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”.

In addition to our core academic programs, Webtree Academy provides specialized learning opportunities for students participating in prestigious competitions such as DECA, Model United Nations (MUN), HOSA, and the Waterloo Math Contests. We offer personalized, intensive support to international students, guiding them toward successful admissions to top universities and colleges in Canada, the USA, and globally. During the summer, students have the chance to explore Toronto’s rich cultural landscape through curated camps. To further enhance learning, our OCT-certified teachers dedicate extra hours to tutoring both our students and those from leading preparatory schools, ensuring every student has the guidance and support they need to succeed.

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.
We are looking for well rounded applicants. Who is committed to work towards his/her goal.
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.

When submitting a new application, click on Create Account and fill in the information for the incoming student (candidate) and the parent who is completing the application. Once the Admissions Office has received the full application you will be notified about next steps. Additional required school forms and a financial contract will be assigned to the parent through the online enrollment system, when appropriate.
When submitting your completed application, you will need to provide copies of the following: Proof of Citizenship, Health Card, Immunization records, and report cards from the last two years for students who have previously attended an elementary program elsewhere. We also require your signatures on a financial agreement with the school as well as all the required payments.
