Here’s the OUR KIDS guide to gifted schools in Oakville—your starting point for exploring programs that challenge advanced learners and nurture their unique potential. Gifted schools in Oakville provide enriched academics, individualized support, and opportunities for students to explore their passions in depth, helping them thrive both intellectually and socially.
On this page we cover private schools in Oakville, Ontario that offer gifted programs and support. This includes gifted schools and programs in Old Oakville, Uptown Core, College Park, Palermo, River Oaks, Glen Abbey, and Clearview.
For nearly 30 years, OUR KIDS has researched and profiled schools across Canada, gathering insights from educators and families to highlight what makes each program unique. On OurKids.net, you’ll find verified profiles, parent reviews, comparison tools, and expert resources to guide your decision. For a more complete guide to gifted education, including a discussion of private vs. public options, start with our gifted schools guide.
Private schools are not obligated to support gifted learners with special programs. Many private schools don't—even ones with strong academic reputations. The schools listed on this page, however, do. We organize the schools into groups: dedicated gifted schools, schools with dedicated gifted classes, and schools offering in-class gifted support. Then, in the fourth group, we identify schools that don't offer formal gifted support but have accelerated curricula for all their students.
These are self-contained gifted schools, where 100% of the students are gifted. Teachers and staff can focus on tailoring the environment to gifted students, without compromise.

The cost of attending a gifted school in Oakville is generally in line with private school tuition in general. Private schools can range from $5,000 to over $30,000 per year for day students.
There are quite a few affordable gifted schools in the area. An Oakville gifted program doesn’t always require a high tuition: some less expensive schools provide an excellent education by focusing on classroom basics and strong teacher support. The more costly gifted schools, however, often provide a wider breadth of in-class and extracurricular opportunities. They also tend to be larger and more established. For most schools, the largest expense remains teacher salaries.
Many schools, including those with a gifted program in Oakville, also offer financial aid (sometimes called "bursaries," "tuition relief," or "tuition assistance") as well as scholarships. Financial aid is needs-based, while scholarships are awarded for merit (academic, athletic, or otherwise). You can learn more about financial aid and scholarships in our guide. Larger and more expensive gifted schools usually provide the most aid. Even middle-class families can qualify for support, so it’s worth asking schools directly.

Make no mistake: gifted kids have different needs than typical students. These learners are often so advanced in their intellectual abilities that they are outliers in the classroom: a normal curriculum and approach won't be enough. When these students don't receive the custom support they need, they can disengage from school -- and even become depressed.
If you know or suspect your child is gifted, you're faced with the following questions:
You can also consider other options, such as language immersion programs, the International Baccalaureate, Advanced Placement courses (for older students), special needs schools, and Montessori schools.
If you're still grappling with these questions, start with our introductory guide to gifted education. Once you're versed in the fundamentals, revisit this page to explore your specific gifted school in Oakville options.
Private schools are not required by law to provide support for gifted children—and many don't. On the other hand, some private schools are able to offer highly individualized programs for gifted learners. The term "buyer beware" definitely applies here: it's up to you to make sure schools are properly set up for gifted learners. The list of private gifted schools on this page (above) is a good place to start your search for the right gifted program Oakville families may need.
