Villanova was founded in 1999 on property that is home to the Mary Lake Augustinian Monastery. Today the school operates independent of the order, in terms of finances and leadership, though shares the values of service and charity. While the school is understandably a draw for families looking for a school delivering the curriculum through a Catholic lens, it also attracts those from surrounding communities who, apart from religious observance, share those foundational values. The school is relatively young, though has established a strong academic and athletic reputation in a short time. The school also has set standards for online communication, and the use of technology in instruction and assessment. The ideal student is one able to thrive in a challenging, active student environment.

Dear Families,
Thank you for taking the time to explore Bloomsbury Academy! We are an early learning
centre with strong connections to our local communities across Toronto. Bloomsbury Academy was
developed in response to the latest research on children’s cognitive development and family well-being.
Our team understands the needs of busy urban families.
Inspired by Dr. Maria Montessori’s work in the early 20th century, we blend Montessori principles with
current evidence-based teaching strategies for early literacy, numeracy, and social skills development.
At Bloomsbury Academy, our skilled teachers know that children thrive socially and academically with
caring adults and positive peer relationships. We’ve carefully designed a program that encourages
children to develop a sense of responsibility and resilience. As an educator, researcher, and parent, I
know that these traits are vital for future success in school and beyond.
Our warm and inclusive school is the product of a collaborative effort by people who are passionate
about early childhood education and community-based learning. Please reach out and book a tour.
We look forward to meeting you!

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.

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.

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.
Our preschool and Kindergarten program is characterized by a socio-dramatic approach, promoting self-regulated learning in a focused environment. Children engage in role-playing and imaginative scenarios that encourage social interaction and emotional development. This method empowers them to express their thoughts and feelings while collaborating with peers, fostering communication skills and creativity. We emphasize self-regulation by allowing children to choose activities that resonate with their interests, helping them develop decision-making and problem-solving skills. Our structured yet flexible setting provides clear guidelines while allowing for exploration, ensuring a balanced focus on both independent and collaborative learning experiences. This holistic approach prepares children for future academic and social challenges.
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.

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.
At Villanova College students are challenged to discern and develop their interests and strengths with the personal attention and support of a caring faculty who are committed to seeing their students succeed at the post-secondary level and beyond. We provide a rigorous academic program that exceeds Ministry of Education expectations and emphasizes skill development. This educational philosophy gives our students an academic advantage as Villanova graduates consistently gain entrance to their preferred universities and experience success in elite university programs.\n
Our school fosters a supportive academic culture that prioritizes the process of learning and personal growth. While we maintain high standards, our primary focus is on nurturing a love of learning and encouraging curiosity. We aim to create an environment where students feel comfortable exploring ideas, making mistakes, and developing resilience. Our curriculum is designed to challenge students at their individual pace while ensuring they receive the guidance and encouragement needed to succeed. We believe that long-term success is built on a strong foundation of passion for learning, critical thinking, and self-motivation, which we cultivate through positive reinforcement, collaboration, and an inclusive learning atmosphere.

If parents present us with a diagnosis, we initiate a collaborative discussion to understand the required accommodations and determine if an Individualized Support Plan (ISP) can adequately meet the child’s needs. We assess the exceptionality and work with families to evaluate whether our resources can provide meaningful, long-term support. As a small private center, our capacity to accommodate complex or extensive special needs is limited. While we strive to be inclusive, we may advise parents against enrollment if we believe we cannot provide the necessary support for their child’s growth and success. Our priority is ensuring that each child receives the best possible care and learning environment.

The Admissions team reviews a variety of information to determine the preparedness of each applicant to succeed in the university-preparatory program and co-curricular offerings of the School. Admission to Villanova College is competitive and decisions are based on the following:
At the time of application, the following is required (if registering multiple children, please complete a Bloomsbury Academy Application for each child)
· A completed Application Form;
· $250 Application Fee (one-time non-refundable fee)
· Once we accept your child into our program, you will receive an offer of admission and a full registration and welcome package. Within 5 business days of the offer, we require a deposit equivalent to one month of tuition (to be applied to first month’s fee payment). Deposits will be held by Bloomsbury Academy without payment of interest.
· The Application Fee and Deposit may be combined into one payment and paid by credit card, e-transfer to [email protected], bank draft or cheque to Fitzrovia Bloomsbury Inc.
· Ongoing tuition fees are paid monthly through TUIO, our secure online invoicing system and are due on the 1st of each month. Once paid, each installment is non-refundable/non-transferable.
· We accept payment by pre-authorized debit, e-transfer or credit card. Please note that all credit card transactions will incur a 3% service fee. For your convenience we will also accept cheques.
