Sherwood Heights intends to give students a strong foundation for further study, granted through a traditional, content-based academic program. Expectations are clear and explicit, including a demonstrable facility with the core curriculum and the development of watertight study habits. For many families that culture—one in which social currency is gained through academics—is a primary draw. Extra-curricular programs augment the core areas of instruction. The ideal student is one who is academically inclined, operating at the top of their peer group, and looking for an environment that prizes all of that.
View full reportThe writer and environmentalist Annie Dillard once said that “how we spend our days is how we spend our lives.” While the administrators at Trillium Waldorf may not think in exactly those terms, that’s an idea that’s at the core of the school. Yes, learning is about working through the curriculum, acquiring new skills, honing old ones. But being at school should be about living well, too, and Trillium has made that at priority since it was founded in 1996. From day one it was an expression of the community that gave rise to it, begun by a number of families that wanted something better, something maybe a bit more caring for their children. There were 21 students in the first year, and a single grade, though it’s grown since then, mainly because of the community that formed around the school. The current property was supplied by an alumni family, which nicely continues the theme. This is about people teaching children how to find their way in the world, to have fun, to enjoy the company of others, and to live fulfilled lives.

"Sherwood Heights School is a leading private school in Mississauga, offering a comprehensive K–12 programme. Motivated students thrive in a structured and supportive environment where small class sizes allow experienced teachers to provide individualized attention that builds strong academic foundations and fosters confidence, knowledge, and excellence. In the elementary years, students develop essential skills in literacy, mathematics, and critical thinking through a rigorous, mastery-based approach that emphasizes problem-solving and clear communication. Learning is supported by both targeted academic support and enrichment, alongside French, science and technology, and integrated computer and business studies. A variety of clubs, events, and competitions further extend learning beyond the classroom. As students progress through middle and high school, they benefit from specialized academic pathways, leadership development, and diverse co-curricular opportunities. With a proven record of admission to competitive university programmes, Sherwood Heights provides a clear pathway to future success."
"At Trillium Waldorf School, reverence for childhood underpins everything we do. This starts in the early years with a pace that allows children to fall in love with the world around them and continues in the Grade School with a curriculum that engages not only our students' minds but their hearts. Our academics are interwoven with movement, arts, hands-on skill building and the experience of observation and discovery, which keep our students not only engaged but critically and creatively thinking for themselves."
"At Sherwood Heights, we combine academic rigour with personal attention, balancing traditional instruction with purposeful innovation. We emphasize mastery of core subjects through clear expectations and consistent daily practice, while integrating technology across the curriculum to build confidence and digital fluency. Our Careers-in-Focus and enrichment initiatives connect classroom learning to real-world applications, inspiring students to see purpose in their studies. Families consistently note that our blend of structure, enrichment, and warmth is what truly sets Sherwood Heights apart."
"At Trillium, we place a high priority on social and emotional learning, knowing that when students are regulated and feel good in their relationships with teachers and peers, they are much more likely to get the most out of the lessons and activities of the school day. Our teachers maintain a position of warm authority, allowing students to feel safe in classrooms that are well held.
Throughout their years here, our students are regularly reminded of our school's core values: we are kind, we are safe, we are respectful, we are responsible. These values underpin our restorative practices, in which our students learn to take responsibility for their actions, set appropriate boundaries, and work through conflict, ultimately developing the resilience and relational skills they will need to grow into healthy, thriving adults."
"At Sherwood Heights, our commitment to a strong academic foundation means we prioritize depth over breadth, focusing on the essentials—language, mathematics, science, and critical thinking—rather than following fleeting educational trends. This deliberate approach ensures that students build lasting knowledge and disciplined study habits. While our structured and rigorous environment may not suit families seeking a fully self-paced or alternative style of learning, our students thrive when they embrace high expectations, consistency, and personal accountability."
"At Trillium Waldorf School, we intentionally use analog methods of teaching—prioritizing time-tested approaches such as teaching cursive writing, and using chalkboards over tablets or smartboards. As a result, our students are not introduced to computer-based skills like typing while attending our school.
However, starting in middle school, our Cyber Civics class introduces students to essential digital competencies. They learn media literacy, explore the potential positive and negative impacts of social media, and gain a strong understanding of how to be responsible, respectful digital citizens.
While this is a tradeoff, we believe the benefits—such as fostering creativity, deep focus, and the confidence often noted in Waldorf alumni—are well worth it."
"Founded in 1989, Sherwood Heights began as a small, independent elementary school and has since grown into a thriving institution with two campuses serving students from Preschool to Grade 12. Over more than three decades, we have expanded our facilities, introduced new academic streams, and enriched our extracurricular programmes to support well-rounded student growth. Our high school facility features modern innovation labs, state-of-the-art science and art studios, and collaborative learning spaces that reflect our ongoing commitment to providing a forward-looking, dynamic education for every student."
"Trillium Waldorf School was established in 1995 by a community of caring parents who were concerned about the educational and societal trends at that time. Through their determination and inspired action, Trillium opened its doors to 21 students, Kindergarten-Grade One, in September 1996. At the time we were located in a local church and went on to rent from the Guelph Youth Music Centre as well before finding our home in the north-east end of Guelph.
It was through the good will and dedication of one of our early families who took it upon themselves to secure this land and build our lovely school to provide us with the security of a long term rental where we could flourish and set roots.
In 2022, we hit a major milestone and had the incredible opportunity to become proud owners of our campus after raising over $1 million in donations and $896K in investments through the generosity of hundreds of school supporters."
"Students who thrive at Sherwood Heights are motivated learners who embrace challenge and structure. They approach their studies with curiosity, responsibility, and a genuine desire to achieve their personal best. Within our supportive and disciplined environment, they learn that effort, respect, and achievement go hand in hand. At Sherwood Heights, students value a culture where academic excellence is celebrated alongside creativity, leadership, and good citizenship—preparing them to succeed with confidence both in school and beyond."
"Our school supports a wide range of learners. Because Waldorf education is truly designed to support children in growing into well-rounded individuals, students do not need to fit a specific mold or possess particular aptitudes to thrive here. In fact, one of the strengths of Waldorf education is its ability to nurture natural abilities while also gently encouraging growth in areas that may not come as easily.
That said, students tend to do best at Trillium Waldorf School when their families are engaged, reflective, and aligned with our long-term view of education as a journey—one that supports the development of well-rounded, ethical and creative thinking human beings. Families who are community-oriented and who value open communication and collaboration with teachers often find a strong sense of belonging and shared purpose at Trillium."
"Sherwood Heights offers a structured and academically focused environment that may not align with families seeking a highly flexible or alternative approach to education. Our programme is designed for students who respond well to clear expectations and steady academic challenge. While we provide individual attention and support, the pace may feel demanding for those who require extensive accommodations. Our priority is always each child’s success and well-being, and we work closely with families to ensure that Sherwood Heights is the right environment for their child to truly flourish."
"Families seeking a strong emphasis on early academics or those aiming to prepare their children for a specific post-secondary path may not find our approach appealing, as it is designed to support children in reaching their unique potential on a timeline that allows for an unrushed childhood."
"Families choose Sherwood Heights for its rigorous academics, individualized attention, and welcoming school environment that fosters meaningful connections among students and teachers. They value our proven results—graduates who consistently earn admission to competitive university programmes—and the personal care that defines everyday life at our school. With a strong reputation for academic excellence, dedicated teaching, and small class sizes, Sherwood Heights continues to attract families who seek a nurturing and achievement-oriented education for their children."
"At Trillium, our students have the advantage of learning through direct experience, free from the influence of computers and digital technology. Parents appreciate knowing that their children are in a media- and screen-free environment, learning instead through methods such as oral storytelling, time in nature, creating their own textbooks, observing natural phenomena and learning to knit. These time-tested approaches not only keep children interested and engaged, but also support critical thinking, which is essential for embracing the tools of technology later in life."
"Sherwood Heights is widely recognized within the community as one of Mississauga’s leading private schools, known for combining high academic standards with a welcoming and supportive atmosphere. Our reputation is built on exceptional student achievement, the professionalism and dedication of our staff, and the strong character of our students, who embody the school’s core values of integrity, effort, and kindness in all that they do."
"Families often know us for the hands-on experiences that our students get, for our choice to deliver education without the use of screen technology and for being a school that allows students to be fully themselves. We are known for our annual class plays and for the Grade 8 Project in which our oldest students engage in study on a topic of their choice with a mentor from the broader Guelph community. Many people know us for our annual Spring Fair which is a joyful experience for all and one which families return to again and again, even when their children don’t attend our school."
"Families are often pleasantly surprised by the warmth and personal connection that define life at Sherwood Heights. Behind every academic success is a dedicated teacher who notices the small details, offering encouragement, guidance, and mentorship along the way. This genuine focus on relationships—built on care, respect, and support—is one of the school’s greatest strengths, shaping an environment where students feel seen, valued, and inspired to do their best."
"At Trillium, our students have the opportunity to be seen and known by their teachers. Smaller class sizes, and teachers who “loop” (move through the grades with their class) allow for the type of relationship where teachers know how to get through to their individual students and students are able to see that their teachers really care.
These long term relationships also allow for true collaboration between teachers and parents, benefiting our students in myriad ways. It is often said that Trillium graduates are notable as teenagers for their willingness to converse with adults and to advocate for their own learning once they move on to high school and beyond."
"Many new families are pleasantly surprised by the advanced level of study at Sherwood Heights, even in the early grades, and by how quickly students rise to meet those challenges with confidence. They also appreciate the wide range of opportunities that extend beyond the classroom, including clubs, robotics, music, athletics, and leadership activities, all of which help students develop a balanced set of skills and discover their individual strengths and interests."
"Many Trillium parents are surprised by the profound impact of the ritual components of life at Trillium and the emphasis on nurturing our student's strength of character.
Rites of passage, such as our Grade 1 students “going under the rainbow bridge” at the opening ceremony each year, serve as meaningful milestones that punctuate the passage of time while offering parents a chance to be fully present for their children’s ever evolving growth and development.
Traditions like our Grade 8 students embarking on their wilderness canoe trip only after crafting their own paddle the previous year teach patience and perseverance. These practices offer an antidote to the modern world of instant gratification.
Equally powerful are the daily rituals that frame the school day. Whether it’s reciting a verse together each morning before beginning their lessons or lighting a candle at lunch, these simple acts of reverence ground the student experience and soothe the all-to-commonly hurried soul."
"In recent years, Sherwood Heights has enhanced every aspect of the student experience. Our high school facilities now feature modern innovation and science labs, dedicated art and music studios, and a bright, open atrium that inspires collaboration and creativity. We have modernized our technology infrastructure to ensure students learn in a secure and connected environment, while expanding our curriculum to include leadership development, French at all levels, and integrated computer and business studies. In addition, we continue to grow our extracurricular offerings, helping students discover their passions, build teamwork skills, and develop strong character."
"Our school has recently made thoughtful improvements to nurture our students, teachers and community as a whole. We’ve clarified leadership roles, strengthened collaboration, and deepened our focus on diversity and inclusion, have worked towards decolonizing our curriculum as well as reimagining our annual festivals. We’ve invested in faculty mentorship and leadership development, and community education offerings for parents to participate in, reinforcing strong adult learning communities that, ultimately, support student growth.
Classrooms have been reinsulated, heat pumps installed, and a new water fountain added, creating even healthier learning spaces for our students. Our program offerings have expanded with various clubs for the students to participate in, while the Healthy School Culture approach supports well-being for all. These changes reflect our commitment to holistic Waldorf education and a vibrant, connected school life where children and families can thrive."
"Looking ahead, Sherwood Heights will continue to expand its facilities and programmes to meet the evolving needs of students. We plan to introduce advanced academic pathways, strengthen partnerships with universities and community organizations, and integrate new technologies that promote creative, critical, and collaborative learning. As we grow, our mission remains the same—to prepare students for success in university and beyond, guided by the enduring values of confidence, knowledge, and excellence that define the Sherwood Heights experience."
"Over the next five years, we will continue to deepen our commitment to inclusive and culturally responsive education while remaining grounded in the core principles of Waldorf pedagogy. Ongoing professional development, mentorship, and curriculum renewal will ensure our program stays developmentally aligned, regionally responsive, and relevant to the evolving needs of today’s children.
Families can expect a school that is steady in its values yet responsive in its practices: a community that nurtures imagination, inspiration, and intuition while preparing students to meet the world with resilience, empathy, and creative confidence. Our vision is not expansion for its own sake, but deepening: deepening relationships, educational quality, and the impact we have in the lives of the children and families we serve."
I am forever bursting with gratification over what our students and faculty are able to achieve. The multitude of accomplishments are varied and far-reaching, and make our school environment exciting, rewarding, engaging, and satisfying. We are relentlessly working towards one theme, and that is ‘Making It Happen’. Students ‘make it happen’ as they are fully engaged in a wonderful array of exhilarating events, clubs, competitions, tournaments, festivals, and fairs. Guided by their teachers, students are fully immersed in their pursuit to do their best and learn from their experiences. The children participate in a wide array of stimulating activities which include the Science Fairs, Math Competitions, Public Speaking Competitions, Music Festivals, Spelling Bees, Shows, Sports Tournaments, and much more. Also, the clubs are a big hit with the students and serve to broaden their horizons. From the Leadership Club to the Chess Champions Club, students stir in the hallways with anticipation and excitement. The activities are many and students from every section of the school participate in large numbers and with tremendous success. It is truly amazing. Thank you to our faculty who are an essential element in the ‘making it happen’ theme. Our teachers provide wise guidance as they nurture, support, and motivate our students. They have made a name for themselves as very special committed individuals with great qualities and stamina! As time races ahead, year after year, “Together, We Make It Happen!”
At Trillium Waldorf School, we share a deep commitment to nurturing the healthy unfolding of each child within a community that is grounded in compassion, integrity, and shared responsibility.
Inspired by the principles of Waldorf Education and the work of Rudolf Steiner, we believe education is not only preparation for academic achievement, but preparation for life. Our goal is to support young people in developing imagination, creativity, compassion, and the confidence to meet the world with curiosity and courage.
Our curriculum engages the whole child: head, heart, and hands. Through academic learning, artistic expression, storytelling and practical work, students experience an education that is both rigorous and deeply human. The rhythms of the day, the seasons, and the school year help create a sense of continuity and balance in the life of the child, allowing our students to feel grounded and ready to learn whether they are infants in our Parent & Child classes, young teenagers in the upper grades or anywhere in between.
A distinctive feature of our school is our collaborative leadership model. Rather than a traditional principal or head of school, Trillium is guided by a Leadership Group consisting of our Administrative Chair and three experienced teachers serving as: Grades Pedagogical Chair, Early Childhood Pedagogical Chair, and Faculty Chair. These roles rotate every three years, and decisions are made collaboratively through consensus. This approach reflects a central Waldorf value: that educators working closely with students help shape the direction of the school.
Together with the families of Trillium Waldorf School, we are honoured to cultivate a community where children feel known, valued, and inspired to grow into compassionate, capable human beings.

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.
Waldorf schools are available from preschool to Grade 12, though they are most popular at the younger ages. Waldorf schools are unmistakably "progressive". Rudolf Steiner, their intellectual forefather, believed the educator's first task should be to help students develop an aesthetic appreciation for life and learning. Sometimes incorrectly conflated with Montessori schools, Waldorf schools focus on developing the "whole child" - emphasizing collaborative, hands-on learning, along with the arts and music, which are integrated into other areas of study.
Not applicable
Sherwood Heights follows an enriched and well-rounded curriculum for students from Kindergarten to Grade 12. The comprehensive curriculum emphasizes the basic subjects of language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, French, and computers; and addresses the importance of music, the arts, and physical fitness.
The Waldorf curriculum provides a strong classical education, but does so in a way that nurtures the natural spirit of your child by encouraging the development of the whole child. The curriculum recognizes that children pass through distinct developmental stages, providing appropriate lessons which are created artistically by Waldorf-trained teachers and presented in a supportive, structured environment. It is the goal of a Waldorf teacher to cultivate a sense of wonder and to inspire children to view the world, even in its most basic form, as magnificent—prompting each student to embrace life with enthusiasm, initiative, and purpose. These aims are met through an education that is rich with meaningful sense experiences, classical academics, and artistic beauty in all subject matters.

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.

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.

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.

Waldorf
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.
Highly group-oriented and with a strong emphasis on creative and imaginative play, Waldorf preschool and Kindergarten programs have very little to no emphasis on academics. A Waldorf environment will often feel more like a home than a traditional classroom -- the goal being to instill comfort and and a sense of predictability in students’ day. This emphasis on comfort and predictability also manifests through a heavy use of repetition: for example, teachers might read the same story multiple days in a row. Waldorf schools ask parents to refrain from offering children TV or computers at home, and aim to develop in children a connection to the natural world. If you want to learn more about Waldorf education, check out our comprehensive guide.
The kindergarten programme is academic based, well balanced, comprehensive and instills a love of learning. Students are introduced to the fundamentals of reading, writing, mathematics, social science and French. Students will also expand their language skills through conversation, word activities, stories, audio and visual material, and computer software. Gross and fine motor skills and co-ordination are developed through physical and educational activities and the use of paints, crayons, clay, sand and water. Creative expression is encouraged through arts & crafts, music, and drama.
Your child is building the capacity for creative thinking, problem solving and learning. Play is an essential part of this process. Our kindergarten programs offer children (aged four through six years old), abundant opportunity for free play and exploration of the world around them (including weekly walks in the woods and regular farm visits in the fall), balanced by a healthy rhythm of group activities such as singing, movement, stories, artistic and practical work. Our program will engage your child’s senses and emotions and this gentle introduction lays the groundwork for learning in the grades. Outdoor games develop the connections between brain and body.

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”.
