Go to child profileNewton's Grove is a student-focused private school for children from JK to Gr. 12. For over forty years our experienced, caring, and dedicated staff have been delivering a dynamic program that gives our students the tools for success. Our goal is to engage and inspire every student to be a life-long learner and creative thinker. We help students achieve that goal by offering small classes, superior programming in academics, athletics and the arts, and a signature music program. This is all delivered in a new, state-of-the-art-facility bordering on an incredible hundred-acre green space, with a cricket pitch, softball stadiums, tennis courts, soccer fields, playgrounds and trails. Our incredible new home has fully equipped science and computer labs to encourage our students' exploration of STEAM, as well as visual arts, drama and music spaces to showcase our outstanding programming in the arts. Our inquiry-based curriculum encourages students to think independently, to ask questions, and to become problem solvers. Our challenging, personalized approach to learning ensures our students have the skills, confidence and problem-solving ability to succeed in the post-secondary school of their choice. It is our emphasis on all aspects of learning that allows our programs to meet and exceed the Ministry of Education standards.
What learning looks like now: At Newton’s Grove School, we are well prepared to provide our full day student-focused experience five days a week for elementary, middle and senior students. Our proven success delivering our Camp Program this summer means we have the experience and expertise required to deliver our full educational program safely this fall. Some of the key elements that will allow us to achieve this include getting the most out of our state-of-the-art ventilation system that provides continuous air circulation and the regular introduction of outside air into all areas of the school. We will also utilize our small population and small classes of 18 or fewer to keep everyone safe. Several other essential measures to promote safety include: • Daily screening and reporting that ensures all individuals who are not well stay home. • Physical distancing of greater than 1m augmented in some cases by unobtrusive plexiglass barriers. • The strict implementation of small cohorts limiting exposure for all members of the community. • Regular cleaning of touch points throughout each day combined with regular overnight cleaning meeting the standards of the Center for Disease Control (CDC). Our planning will ensure that every student learns. If a student is not able to attend in person, we will fully support remote learning through Zoom, Edsby and other leading-edge technologies. Every member of Newtons Grove is working together to enable your child to be safe, inspired and successful in their learning.

Newton’s Grove began its life in 1977 as the first private school in Mississauga, known then as Mississauga Private School. It soon moved to Etobicoke, though returned to Mississauga in 2015, moving into its permanent location in 2017. The moves are symptomatic of the school’s growth, based in a growing reputation for its academics coupled with a robust athletic program. Values, too, are a draw, with a dedication to promoting respect and responsibility throughout the curricular areas. The ideal student is one able to thrive in a challenging, vibrant, socially oriented environment.
