Parents look to York Montessori for a program that demonstrates a high fidelity to the Montessori method, and which is delivered by accredited, experienced staff. And, certainly, that’s precisely what they find. Families are actively involved within the life of the school through annual events as well as, uniquely, information sessions, workshops, and in-class observation held at key points throughout the academic year. The schools is larger than most Montessori environments, especially given those which, as here, limit their scope to the early years. That said, the efforts around involving parents lends a familiar, family-oriented cast to the culture of the school. Following on, the size of the student body has its benefits, especially around the breadth of the program offerings, the resources available, and allows for coverage before and after the school day.

"York Montessori School (YMS) is a reputable independent Montessori school licensed by the Ministry of Education and accredited by the CCMA. With a focus on academic preparation and through the use of classic Montessori pedagogy, our experienced and dedicated educators aim to support the holistic development of each of our young learners. Our goal at YMS is for our students to emerge as independent and confident individuals who seamlessly transition from thriving in our classrooms to succeeding in the world."
"Globe Cambridge School is an independent K–12 day and boarding school in North York, Toronto, where small classes, IB and AP programs, and personalized mentorship cultivate confident, compassionate global leaders. Guided by expert faculty, students achieve academic excellence while discovering who they are—and how they can make a difference."
"Established in 2007, YMS has gained a strong reputation within the Richmond Hill community. Recognized for its commitment to classic Montessori principles, YMS prides itself on fostering a collaborative partnership with families and providing a robust foundation for success that goes beyond academic achievements, encouraging a lifetime of curiosity, compassion, and interconnected learning. The school’s highly qualified and experienced educators are devoted to supporting each child's and family’s unique educational journey through a thoughtfully prepared environment and a curriculum designed to encourage confidence and independence. The school's reputation for excellence is evident in the accomplishments of its alumni, who continue to thrive and positively contribute to their communities."
"GCS blends a small-class model (avg. 7:1) with a tiered IB→Pre-AP→AP pathway so every student is known, challenged, and supported. We deliver this through Personalized Learning Plans, a weekly advisory system, and data-informed assessment cycles with teacher office hours, enrichment, and targeted support.
Expert faculty (many with graduate degrees) mentor students beyond coursework via DECA, Waterloo/AMC/CCC competitions, speech & debate, and design/arts portfolio studios, while service & leadership are embedded across grades (PYP Exhibition, capstones). University guidance begins in Grade 9 with a four-year roadmap, essay/portfolio coaching, and interview prep. Wellbeing is integral—counsellors, mentorship, athletics and arts balance.
Outcome: graduates earn top-university offers, merit scholarships, and the confidence, curiosity, and character to lead. Connect with Admissions to visit and see the difference."
"At YMS, we prioritize Montessori principles, which requires us to make deliberate trade-offs. One key decision is balancing personalization with standardization. By maintaining small class sizes, we tailor education to each child’s pace, but we don't focus on standardized testing or academic benchmarks, which some families may expect. Additionally, we emphasize hands-on learning with Montessori materials over heavy technology use, recognizing technology’s importance but prioritizing tangible skills and independence. These trade-offs allow us to stay true to our personalized learning and holistic development values, enriching students’ long-term growth. While we deprioritize standardized testing and digital tools, we believe these choices better prepare our students for a lifetime of learning, creativity, and meaningful engagement with the world."
"At Globe Cambridge School, we intentionally prioritize depth over breadth, personalization over standardization, and character over competition.
Our small-class model means we limit enrollment to preserve genuine individual attention and mentoring. Rather than expanding program size, we invest in expert faculty, inquiry-based teaching, and a holistic support network that integrates wellbeing with academic rigor. We choose to emphasize creative exploration and interdisciplinary inquiry, even when it means fewer rigid testing cycles or larger-scale athletic programs. By focusing resources on academic excellence, global perspective, and personal growth, GCS students don’t just prepare for university—they develop the confidence, empathy, and intellectual independence to lead meaningful lives.
Discover how our deliberate choices create lasting impact—connect with our Admissions team to learn more."

"Globe Cambridge School’s story is one of vision, growth, and global perspective.
Founded in 2008 as part of the Globe Education network, GCS began with a single goal—to combine academic excellence with character education rooted in compassion and inquiry. Its first campus in Port Hope fostered a close-knit learning community that shaped the school’s culture of care and belonging. The opening of the Toronto flagship K–12 campus in 2025 marked a new era—uniting IB PYP, Pre-AP, and AP pathways under one roof and expanding opportunities for both day and boarding students. Guided by Dr. Peter Zavodny’s academic leadership, GCS has evolved into a top private institution recognized for personalized learning, small-class mentorship, and university-level achievement. Each milestone has strengthened our mission to cultivate confident, compassionate global leaders.

"YMS is a great fit for students who thrive in an environment that emphasizes independence, curiosity, and hands-on learning. Our ideal student enjoys exploring concepts at their own pace, with the support of dedicated educators. YMS is best suited for children who benefit from a personalized approach to learning, where the focus is on the whole child—physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development. While we welcome students with diverse learning styles, those motivated to engage in self-directed activities, collaborate with peers, and take ownership of their learning will truly flourish. Families who value a Montessori education, which encourages creativity, problem-solving, and lifelong learning, will find a supportive and enriching community at YMS."
"The students who thrive at Globe Cambridge School are curious, motivated, and open-minded—young people who love to ask questions and seek understanding beyond the textbook. They embrace challenge, balance independence with collaboration, and show respect for diverse perspectives. GCS students flourish in small classes where their voices are heard, their talents recognized, and their goals supported through personalized guidance. Our programs best serve learners who are eager to grow academically and personally—students who value both excellence and empathy. Families who choose GCS believe education should build character as well as credentials. They appreciate a community that prioritizes individualized attention, global awareness, and holistic development. Together, we create an environment where every student is inspired to lead with confidence, compassion, and curiosity.
Connect with our Admissions Team to explore how your child can thrive at GCS."
"We would advise a family against choosing YMS if they are unwilling to commit to the full three-year Casa program. The Montessori approach thrives on continuity and long-term development, where each year builds upon the previous one. The three-year cycle is essential for fostering deep learning, independence, and leadership skills, and students benefit from the consistency of remaining in the same classroom environment with the same educator for multiple years. Families who are seeking a more traditional, short-term school experience or those not aligned with the Montessori philosophy may not find the best fit at YMS. Additionally, families who are unable to engage in the collaborative partnership between school and home may not fully benefit from the Montessori method, which requires active involvement and support for a child’s development."
"Globe Cambridge School is best suited for families who value personalized learning, intellectual curiosity, and character development over rigid uniformity or rote performance.
We may not be the ideal choice for families seeking a highly standardized or strictly competitive academic environment, or for students who prefer to follow rather than explore. Our inquiry-based IB, Pre-AP, and AP pathways emphasize reflection, creativity, and self-direction—traits that flourish when students are engaged and families actively partner in the learning process. GCS’s small-class model prioritizes depth of understanding, meaningful dialogue, and individualized growth rather than volume or speed of coverage. Families looking primarily for large-scale athletics or regimented discipline models may find our culture of collaboration and mentorship less aligned with their expectations.
We encourage families to visit our campus and discover whether GCS’s approach feels right for their child’s learning jou"

Parents often remark that GCS “feels like a school that truly knows every child.” This balance of prestige and personal connection defines our public image and continues to attract families who seek more than results—they seek a community that inspires purpose.
Experience why GCS stands apart—schedule a visit with our Admissions Team today."
"One aspect of YMS that is often underappreciated is our low teacher turnover, which plays a crucial role in maintaining continuity and building strong relationships with students and families. Our dedicated educators remain with us for many years, providing stability and fostering deep connections that benefit both academic and emotional development. This consistency allows teachers to truly understand each child’s learning style and growth, leading to more personalized and effective instruction. Additionally, the close-knit community at YMS contributes significantly to our success. The strong bond between students, families, and staff creates a collaborative environment where everyone works together toward the shared goal of supporting each child's growth. This sense of belonging and trust is often overlooked but is fundamental to the nurturing, supportive atmosphere that sets YMS apart."
"One of the most underappreciated strengths of Globe Cambridge School is the depth of our faculty’s mentorship and the intentional structure behind our small-class model. Families notice the warmth and accessibility of teachers, but may not realize how systematically that care is built into the school’s design. Every student is paired with advisors who monitor progress, meet regularly, and coordinate personalized academic and wellbeing plans. Our teachers hold advanced degrees and bring international experience that transforms daily lessons into mentorship for life—guiding students through competition preparation, university planning, and leadership development. This quiet, behind-the-scenes structure ensures each learner is known, challenged, and championed.
We invite families to visit campus to see how genuine relationships—and not just academics—set GCS apart."
"Families might be surprised to learn of the opportunities provided to YMS students for engaging in global citizenship. Back in 2015, while our students watched their new school being built, they were also part of a larger, global community project. During this time, our school community raised funds to build a school in Uganda, creating a powerful connection between our students and children halfway around the world. As the construction of both schools progressed, our students corresponded with the children in Uganda, learning about their lives, cultures, and the impact of their contributions. This ongoing, hands-on learning opportunity enriched our students’ learning by further developing their empathy and deepening their understanding of the importance of community service. It provided a real-world context for the values we teach and continues to inspire our students, making their education truly meaningful and connected to the world beyond our school walls."
"Families are often surprised by how personal the Globe Cambridge School experience truly is. Many expect the formality of a traditional top-tier private school, but discover an environment that is both academically elite and remarkably warm. Behind our rigorous IB, Pre-AP, and AP pathways lies a deeply relational culture—teachers know every student’s strengths, challenges, and aspirations. Parents often remark that progress meetings feel more like mentorship conversations than assessments. They’re also surprised by how global our perspective is: students engage with peers from diverse backgrounds, collaborate on international projects, and gain the confidence to think beyond borders. What looks like a structured academic institution quickly reveals itself as a community that sees—and supports—the whole child.
We invite families to visit and experience this balance of excellence and authenticity firsthand."
"Most recently, YMS has implemented Transparent Classroom, an innovative virtual platform designed specifically for Montessori schools to enhance communication between educators and parents. This tool allows us to share photos, detailed material descriptions, and comprehensive progress reports, ensuring that parents are consistently informed about their child’s development and classroom experiences. Transparent Classroom strengthens the connection between home and school by providing parents with real-time insights into their child’s learning journey, fostering collaboration, and offering personalized suggestions for integrating Montessori parenting strategies at home."
"Globe Cambridge School is entering an exciting new chapter defined by growth, innovation, and deeper student support.
With the launch of our Toronto flagship K–12 campus in 2025, we introduced specialized facilities for the arts, sciences, athletics, and design innovation—creating spaces that match the ambition of our students. Academically, we strengthened our IB Primary Years Programme, expanded Pre-AP and AP offerings, and added new interdisciplinary electives connecting technology, business, and the humanities. To enhance wellbeing, we implemented a whole-school advisory system and on-site counselling network to ensure every student is known and guided. Faculty have engaged in advanced professional development in inquiry-based learning and assessment for growth. Each initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to deliver world-class academics within a caring, future-focused community.
Visit GCS to see how our next chapter can shape your child’s."
"YMS anticipates growth and change over the next five years, though the exact path remains uncertain. While we are committed to the core principles of Montessori education, we recognize that our community’s evolving needs may shape our direction. To enrich the student experience, we plan to expand our extracurricular offerings, allowing students to explore their interests, develop new skills, and connect with nature through an organic gardening curriculum that fosters responsibility, sustainability, and hands-on learning. Additionally, we are considering the introduction of school uniforms to cultivate a sense of unity and focus within our community. As we move forward, we remain dedicated to enhancing our current programs while staying true to our values of personalized, nurturing education."
"Over the next five years, Globe Cambridge School will continue to grow as a centre of academic excellence and global education. Our focus is on expanding advanced academic pathways—including additional AP courses, interdisciplinary research projects, and new partnerships with universities and global organizations. We plan to strengthen our STEM and innovation programs with enhanced laboratory spaces and technology integration, while deepening our Arts and Leadership initiatives that nurture creativity and confidence. Continuous faculty development will remain a priority, ensuring every teacher is equipped with cutting-edge pedagogy and global perspective. We also aim to broaden student wellbeing programs and community engagement, empowering students to lead with compassion and purpose.
Families joining GCS today are helping shape the next chapter of a school that is defining the future of private education in Toronto."

Progressive
International Baccalaureate
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.
Some private schools offer International Baccalaureate (IB) programming. The "Diploma Programme" is offered to students in the final two years of high school, while the "Primary Years Programme" (ages 3 to 12) and "Middle Years Programme" (ages 11 to 16) serve as preparation for the diploma program.
Globe Cambridge School delivers a rigorous academic program grounded in inquiry, independence, and innovation. As a progressive, internationally minded school, GCS combines the IB Primary Years Programme with Pre-AP and AP pathways to provide a seamless foundation for university success worldwide. Our small-class model (7:1 student-teacher ratio) ensures individualized attention, mentorship, and measurable academic growth. Learning extends beyond textbooks—students explore STEM, the arts, and leadership through interdisciplinary projects, competitions, and community service. Guided by highly qualified faculty, many with graduate and international credentials, students develop critical thinking, resilience, and global perspective. Rooted in equity and inclusion, GCS nurtures both intellect and character, empowering every learner to achieve excellence with confidence and compassion.
Equal Balance
These math programs feature an equal balance of “Traditional” and “Discovery” methods.
Dr. Montessori divided the Mathematical materials into five main groups. Each group had a specific aim, which its materials tried to achieve by providing the child with repeated but varied experiences.
At Globe Cambridge School, mathematics is taught through a balanced approach that integrates the precision of traditional methods with the inquiry-driven spirit of discovery learning. Students build strong procedural fluency through structured practice while engaging in conceptual exploration, real-world problem solving, and interdisciplinary projects. From the IB Primary Years Programme to Pre-AP and AP levels, teachers emphasize reasoning, pattern recognition, and communication of mathematical ideas. Small-class instruction allows for differentiated pacing, ensuring that each learner is both challenged and supported. Advanced students extend their skills through contests such as the Waterloo Math Competitions, AMC, and Olympiad preparation, while others strengthen foundations through personalized guidance. This balanced methodology cultivates analytical thinkers who approach mathematics with confidence, creativity, and curiosity.
- Numbers to ten (numeral to quantity) - Decimal System (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) - Teens and Tens (one to one hundred) - Memorization of Tables (essential combinations) - Passage to Abstraction (minimal use of materials)
Nelson Mathematics (Ontario) series, Pearson Pre-Calculus and Calculus AP editions, Waterloo Math Contest preparation materials, and teacher-developed inquiry-based problem sets integrated across IB and AP pathways.
Calculators are introduced progressively to support, not replace, conceptual understanding. Students first demonstrate mastery of core operations manually before using scientific or graphing calculators (TI-84 or equivalent) for higher-level problem solving, AP coursework, and standardized testing preparation.
Balanced Literacy
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.
Balanced reading programs are typically Whole Language programs with supplementary phonics training. This training might be incidental, or it might take the form of mini-lessons.
When it comes to Montessori education, the child will write before they will read. The child’s mind must have the capacity to isolate sounds and have the ability to visualize the symbols that correspond to a particular sound. The child progresses through the same process to acquire reading as they did to acquire the spoken language. Therefore, the child progresses through sounds, syllables, words, phrases and sentences. In the classroom the Language curriculum is broken up into five stages: - Spoken Language - Writing - Reading (Phonetics, Phonograms, Puzzle words) - Function of Words - Reading analysis
At Globe Cambridge School, early literacy is developed through a Balanced Literacy approach that combines systematic phonics instruction with rich, meaningful reading experiences. In the primary years, students receive explicit phonics lessons to build decoding and fluency, supported by guided and shared reading sessions that strengthen comprehension, vocabulary, and expression. Teachers use inquiry-based strategies aligned with the IB Primary Years Programme, encouraging students to connect reading with curiosity about the world. Small-class settings allow for individualized assessment and targeted support, ensuring every child progresses with confidence. Authentic literature, storytelling, and cross-curricular language integration help young readers develop a genuine love of reading while mastering foundational skills. Our goal is not only to teach children how to read, but to help them understand why reading matters.
DIBELS Testing: This school periodically uses DIBELS testing to assess reading progress.
DIBELS assessments are administered to monitor reading fluency, comprehension, and phonemic awareness, guiding individualized instruction and early intervention.

The process approach to teaching beginner writing aims to get students writing “real things” as much as possible and as soon as possible. The goal is to create the right environmental conditions to encourage a love of writing and a motivation to write well. With children invested in the writing process -- through assignments children find meaningful -- students are then given feedback on how they can improve.
Programs that balance systematic and process approaches equally likely have an emphasis on giving young students ample opportunities to write, while providing supplementary class-wide instruction in grammar, parts of sentences, and various writing strategies.
When it comes to Montessori education, the child will write before they will read.

In the classroom the Language cur- riculum is broken up into five stages: - Spoken Language - Writing - Reading (Phonetics, Phonograms, Puzzle words) - Function of Words - Reading analysis
At Globe Cambridge School, writing is taught through a balanced approach that combines structured skill-building with authentic expression. In the early grades, students learn sentence structure, grammar, and organization through direct instruction and guided modeling. These foundational skills are then applied in meaningful, inquiry-based writing tasks inspired by the IB Primary Years Programme, where students write to explore ideas, express opinions, and reflect on their learning. Teachers emphasize both the craft and the purpose of writing—helping students move from sentences to paragraphs to polished compositions. Small classes enable personalized feedback and targeted support at every stage of the writing process—planning, drafting, revising, and publishing. Whether composing creative stories, research reflections, or persuasive pieces, students develop clarity, voice, and confidence as young writers prepared for future academic excellence.
Equal Balance
Inquiry-based science emphasizes teaching science as a way of thinking or practice, and therefore tries to get students “doing” science as much as possible -- and not just “learning” it. Students still learn foundational scientific ideas and content (and build on this knowledge progressively); however, relative to expository science instruction, inquiry-based programs have students spend more time developing and executing their own experiments (empirical and theoretical). Students are frequently challenged to develop critical and scientific-thinking skills by developing their own well-reasoned hypothesis and finding ways to test those hypotheses. Projects and experiments are emphasized over textbook learning. Skills are emphasized over breadth of knowledge.
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.
Science –This portion of the curriculum contains such basic science experiments as sink & float, magnetic & non- magnetic and colour mixing. Biology– This is the most basic of introductions to such concepts as life cycles, and the parts of the human body. Zoology –Topics covered in this part of the curriculum include, but are not limited to Animals of the world, classification of animals, parts of exercises & classified cards. Botany –This part of the curriculum includes such categories such as the environment, nature, and parts of leaf, flower and tree.
At Globe Cambridge School, science education blends rigorous content mastery with inquiry-based exploration. Students build a solid foundation in biology, chemistry, physics, and environmental science through structured lessons that emphasize analytical reasoning, data interpretation, and scientific literacy. Equally important, they do science—designing experiments, testing hypotheses, and applying the scientific method in real-world contexts. From the IB Primary Years Programme’s transdisciplinary investigations to advanced AP labs in senior grades, students develop curiosity and precision in equal measure. Small-class settings enable hands-on experimentation, guided research projects, and personalized feedback from subject specialists. Faculty encourage students to think critically, question assumptions, and connect science to global challenges such as sustainability, health, and technology. This balanced approach ensures that every GCS student graduates not only with deep scientific knowledge, but with the creativity and confidence to lead in an increasingly STEM-driven world

At Globe Cambridge School, literature is taught as both an art and an inquiry into the human experience. Our program balances classical analysis with contemporary relevance, guiding students to explore diverse voices and global perspectives. From Shakespeare and Austen to Morrison and Márquez, students examine how language, context, and culture shape meaning. Teachers emphasize close reading, critical essays, and Socratic discussion to build analytical precision and expressive fluency. At the same time, inquiry projects invite students to connect literature with themes of identity, equity, and global citizenship—reflecting the school’s inclusive, internationally minded ethos. In the senior years, AP English Literature and interdisciplinary seminars deepen interpretive skill and intellectual independence. Through this blend of tradition and innovation, students graduate not only as skilled readers and writers, but as thoughtful observers of the world.

Thematic
The Expanding Communities approach organizes the curriculum around students’ present, everyday experience. In the younger grades, students might learn about themselves, for example. As they move through the grades, the focus gradually broadens in scope: to the family, neighbourhood, city, province, country, and globe. The curriculum tends to have less focus on history than Core Knowledge programs.
The Thematic approach organizes the curriculum around certain themes or cultural universals. Students might spend time focused on food. Then they might focus on transportation or government, and so on.
History– Materials included in this part of the curriculum were designed to teach such concepts as the daily calendar, the seasons, the clock & basic human needs. Geography–This part of the curriculum includes materials pertaining to the solar system, the continents, land and water forms, introduction to the earth’s elements and all parts of the world. Sensorial- Materials were designed to facilitate the child's ability to attend to their senses through interaction with the environment to promote intellectual development. They can be broken down into 8 categories of senses: Visual, Tactile, Baric, Thermic, Stereognostic, Gustatory, Smell and Hearing. Practical Life- Materials are broken down into five categories (Preliminary Exercises, Care of the Environment, Care of Person, Grace and Courtesy, Control of Movement) to teach the child to function in their own environment, encouraging independence, coordination, concentration and freedom of choice.
At Globe Cambridge School, Social Studies in the elementary years follows a thematic and inquiry-based approach inspired by the IB Primary Years Programme. Students explore broad concepts such as community, culture, identity, and change through real-world connections that spark curiosity and global awareness. Each unit integrates history, geography, and civics with storytelling, hands-on projects, and discussion—encouraging children to think critically about how people and societies interact. Topics progress from personal and local contexts in the early grades to national and global perspectives by Grade 6, helping students understand their role as active, compassionate global citizens. Small class sizes enable teachers to personalize exploration while guiding students to ask meaningful questions, analyze diverse perspectives, and connect lessons to their everyday lives. The result is a rich, balanced foundation in both knowledge and character, preparing students for the rigor of middle school inquiry and leadership.

These programs represent an equal balance between the perennialist and pragmatic approach to teaching the humanities and social sciences.
Information not available
At Globe Cambridge School, the humanities and social sciences are taught through a balanced lens that combines timeless inquiry with modern relevance. Students explore philosophy, history, geography, psychology, and economics not as isolated subjects, but as interconnected ways of understanding the world. Classic texts and “big ideas” form the foundation for discussion, while inquiry projects and case studies connect learning to current global issues—such as sustainability, equity, and innovation. Through Socratic dialogue, debates, and collaborative research, students develop analytical precision, empathy, and persuasive communication. In the upper grades, Pre-AP and AP courses deepen academic rigor, while our small-class setting fosters critical independence and intellectual confidence. This balance of perennial wisdom and pragmatic action ensures that GCS graduates are not only well-prepared for top universities, but also equipped to lead thoughtfully and responsibly in an ever-changing world.

The communicative method of language acquisition emphasizes the use of the target language in authentic contexts. The approach commonly features interactive group work, games, authentic texts, and opportunities to learn about the cultural background of the language. Drills and quizzes may still be used, but less frequently than with the audio-lingual method.
These programs feature an equal blend of the audio-lingual and communicative styles of language instruction.
At YMS, we offer daily French classes which are both interactive and educational.
At Globe Cambridge School, our foreign language program combines structured language mastery with authentic communication. Students learn through a balanced approach that integrates audio-lingual precision—grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary drills—with communicative fluency, where language is brought to life through dialogue, cultural exploration, and real-world contexts. From the early grades, students are encouraged to see language as a bridge between cultures and perspectives. In addition to English language enrichment for multilingual learners, students study French, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese, gaining both linguistic competence and cultural literacy. Small class sizes and interactive lessons ensure individualized feedback and confidence in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. This global language foundation prepares GCS students to thrive in international settings, embrace diversity, and communicate effectively in an interconnected world.

Equal Balance
These programs have an equal emphasis on receptive and creative learning.
At Globe Cambridge School, the Fine Arts are integral to developing creativity, confidence, and cultural awareness. Our program balances creative practice with art appreciation, empowering students to both make and understand art in its many forms. Through courses in Visual Arts, Music, Theatre, and Graphic Design, students explore technique, expression, and interpretation. Early grades focus on experimentation and imagination, while advanced students refine their portfolios through mentorship and studio practice. Historical and contemporary works are studied not as static artifacts, but as sources of inspiration that connect students to global artistic traditions. With guidance from accomplished artists and educators, learners develop both technical mastery and aesthetic literacy. Whether performing on stage, composing in the studio, or curating digital art, GCS students learn to see creativity as a way to think critically, communicate meaningfully, and shape the world with vision and purpose.

Medium integration
Effort is made to integrate the development of digital literacy through the curriculum. However, this is not a dominant focus.

At Globe Cambridge School, technology is seamlessly integrated across the curriculum to enhance learning, creativity, and problem-solving. While not replacing foundational skills, digital literacy is viewed as essential to academic excellence and future readiness. Students use technology purposefully—from research and data visualization in the sciences to digital storytelling and design in the humanities and arts. Dedicated courses in Computer Science, Robotics, and Web Design introduce students to coding, algorithmic thinking, and ethical technology use. Guided by skilled faculty, learners gain practical fluency in innovation tools while developing the critical thinking to evaluate technology’s impact on society. Across all grades, technology serves as a bridge between disciplines, preparing students to navigate a world where creativity and digital competence go hand in hand.

Yoga, Music and Movement, Extra Curricular activities such as Karate, Stretch and Grow, Dance, and various fitness programs.
At Globe Cambridge School, physical education is an essential part of developing confidence, wellbeing, and leadership. Our program emphasizes both fitness and character—teaching students to value perseverance, teamwork, and sportsmanship as much as skill. From early grades, students participate in a wide range of activities including basketball, volleyball, track and field, yoga, and self-defence, helping them discover lifelong interests in movement and health. Specialized instructors guide students through structured lessons that balance technique, strategy, and personal growth. As students advance, they engage in inter-school competitions, athletic clubs, and wellness workshops that promote balance between physical and mental health. GCS’s modern gymnasium, fitness studio, and access to local sports facilities such as Sunnybrook Park and Banbury Tennis Club provide the ideal environment for active learning. Our goal is to ensure every student leaves with strength of body, clarity of mind, and confidence of spirit.

Montessori programs aimed at preschool and Kindergarten- aged children allow young learners to choose which “tasks” or activities interest them. These tasks centre around special Montessori puzzles -- the essential features of these puzzles being they contain a “right answer” and allow for self-correction. A strong emphasis is therefore placed on learning being concrete and rooted in practical experience, along with children developing a sense of self-sufficiency and confidence. Specially trained teachers act as guides, introducing children to progressively more difficult materials when appropriate. A Montessori classroom is typically very calm and orderly, with children working alone or, sometimes, in small groups.
If you want to learn more about Montessori education, check out our comprehensive guide. You can also check out our guide to Montessori preschools, elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools.
Not applicable
Through the use of the five traditional Montessori Curriculums, we teach appreciation and responsibility for the environment, a sense of cooperation, and respect for others. Children are provided with a wide range of meaningful experiences that empower them to explore their world. We help children gradually expand their knowledge and skills as they grow into confident, self-directed individuals.

Accelerated
The main curriculum pace is non-standardized and is HIGHLY responsive to the pacing of individual students, (via differentiated instruction, differentiated assessment, etc). In theory, some students outpace the default/normalized curriculum, while others spend periods "behind schedule" if they need the extra time.
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).
Our small-class model allows flexible pacing through differentiated instruction, ability grouping, and guided independent study. Students may advance in specific subjects while receiving individualized support to strengthen core skills, ensuring both accelerated progress and balanced academic growth within a supportive environment.
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.
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”.
York Montessori School seeks to become the one place where parents, with peace of mind, will leave their children in the hands of our educators. The primary focus of our school is to provide a high quality educational setting in which the child can experience developmental excellence while being cared for in a healthy and enjoyable environment. We will provide a carefully planned and stimulating atmosphere which will help children develop within themselves the foundation, attitude and skills which are essential for a lifetime of creative thinking and learning.
At Globe Cambridge School, we cultivate a rigorous yet nurturing academic culture that inspires excellence through curiosity, discipline, and purpose. Students are challenged to reach their fullest potential through inquiry-based learning, personalized mentorship, and internationally recognized programs such as IB, Pre-AP, and AP. High expectations are matched by strong support—our small class sizes allow teachers to know each student deeply, guiding them toward both academic mastery and intellectual independence. Our community celebrates effort as much as achievement, encouraging students to take intellectual risks, think critically, and pursue knowledge with confidence. This balance of rigor and care prepares GCS graduates to thrive at top universities and to lead with integrity in an ever-changing world.
"We intentionally avoid all forms of public distinction between students in terms of academic performance."
"We honour and distinguish our brightest students, using them as examples for other students to follow."
Balanced
Equal emphasis is placed on a balance of priorities: intellectual, emotional, social and physical cultivation.
Intellectual
The goal is to cultivate "academically strong, creative and critical thinkers, capable of exercising rationality, apprehending truth, and making aesthetic distinctions."
Emotional
The goal is to cultivate "emotionally intelligent and confident individuals, capable of leading both themselves and others."
Emotional
The goal is to cultivate "emotionally intelligent and confident individuals, capable of leading both themselves and others."
At York Montessori School, we recognize that children learn and develop in their own way and at their own pace and encourage them to work toward independence and self-motivation. Through the use of the five traditional Montessori Curriculums, we teach appreciation and responsibility for the environment, a sense of cooperation, and respect for others. Children are provided with a wide range of meaningful experiences that empower them to explore their world. We help children gradually expand their knowledge and skills as they grow into confident, self-directed individuals.
At Globe Cambridge School, we aim to nurture intellectually curious and emotionally confident leaders who think critically, act compassionately, and engage with purpose. Our inquiry-driven curriculum—spanning IB, Pre-AP, and AP programs—cultivates creativity, logic, and global perspective, preparing students to excel academically and think beyond convention. Equally, we emphasize emotional intelligence and resilience through mentorship, arts, athletics, and community engagement. Students learn to communicate authentically, embrace challenges, and lead with empathy. We believe true excellence lies in the balance between intellect and character. By guiding students to connect knowledge with humanity, GCS helps them grow into thoughtful, confident individuals who are prepared not only for university success, but for meaningful lives of impact.

At York Montessori School, it is our priority to provide or facilitate the appropriate resources available to ensure the highest quality of education for the child. Outside special education resources/support may intervene if necessary, upon discussion with the child's parents. Our school is committed to inclusion, fairness and the right to learn and excel academically and individually.
At Globe Cambridge School, we believe that every student deserves the opportunity to succeed within a supportive and inclusive learning environment. While our academic program is rigorous, our small class sizes and individualized instruction allow us to identify and address emerging learning challenges early. For students who develop mild learning difficulties or attention challenges, teachers provide personalized accommodations, extra academic support, and learning strategy coaching. We collaborate with families and, when needed, recommend external specialists to ensure appropriate interventions. However, our program is best suited for students who can engage successfully in a mainstream academic environment with mild-to-moderate support. Students with severe or full-time special education needs may be better served in a specialized setting designed to meet those requirements.
