There has been a Linbrook School at this site in Oakville for more than 80 years—prior to 2010, it was the site of a public school with that name. The current Linbrook school keeps the name, as the founders liked the continuity it provided within the community, including the educational tradition that the school represented. That said, the current Linbrook shares little more than a name with that school. It’s the only boys’ school in Oakville, and the approach is based in providing a diversity of activity, and physical movement, both within the classroom and without. Students learn in a dynamic, group environment. Classrooms are large to promote small group facilitation. The facilities were entirely updated for the school's opening, and incorporate a full range of instructional technology. The grounds, including green space and play fields, also recommend the school.
We questioned the school administration
1. Who are you, as a school?
"Linbrook School is a not-for-profit, independent day school and Oakville’s only boys' school. At Linbrook, we recognize that every boy has his own special skills; athletes, musicians, performers, artists, writers and humanitarians all have the opportunity to shine and thrive as members of our school community. Exceptional teachers, an engaged parent community, and a beautiful school with character, modern amenities, and expansive outdoor athletic spaces comprise the Linbrook experience."
