Founded in 1997, the mission of Lynn-Rose Heights is to provide individually oriented, student-lead instruction, challenging all to reach their potentials within the core academic fields and beyond. The blend of the Ontario and IB curricula is a draw for the families that enrol here, as is the quality of instruction and a very porous interface between families and faculty. The math and literacy programs have students working a grade ahead of their peers in the public system, with further acceleration offered to students able to function at that level. The attention to values, as those underscored within the IB programmes, is also a draw. There is a lot going on, though a close attention to specific skills, abilities, and needs of each student—as well as a broad range of resources to address them—is a distinguishing factor of the Lynn-Rose offering.
This 50-page review of Lynn-Rose Schools, published as a book and available to read in full, here on OurKids.net, is part of our series of in-depth accounts of Canada's leading private schools. Insights were gardnered by visiting the school and interviewing students, parents, faculty, and administrators.
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.
