Newton'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 STEM, 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.
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.

“Everything we do somehow benefits us. There are so many different components and when you put it all together, [Newton’s Grove School] makes the ideal school.”
- Amrita Sidhu (Alumni)
...“Without [Newton’s Grove School] shaping my personality, I don’t think I would have gotten the success I do have. I don’t think I would have gotten to where I am today.”
- Kelvin Ramlochan (Alumni)
...“[Newton’s Grove School] has met the needs of my sons where other schools have failed. The teachers and administration are always available no matter how big or small the concern. My sons do not want to be anywhere else.”
- Paola Franceschetti (NGS Parent)
...“[Newton’s Grove School] truly understands that every child is an individual with his or her own learning style and learning needs. Every staff member at [Newton’s Grove School] strives to give our children a positive and enriched education.”
- Bruce & Patrice Lindsay (NGS Parents)
...Our Kindergarten students will have access to many amazing facilities in our new school, but I am most excited about the opportunity to incorporate outdoor learning experiences into our program. Children love to play and explore in nature, and what better place to do that than Wildwood Park! Access to green space is what so many city children lack, and our new location offers countless possibilities for incorporating the outdoors into the Kindergarten curriculum. Whether it’s reading under a big tree, collecting and counting leaves, or simply playing outside, our kindergartners will have all the benefits of a close relationship with the natural world.
I’m definitely looking forward to moving into a large bright classroom designed for our smallest school members. Classroom sinks and extra storage space will be very useful additions to our new rooms, as will be on-site washrooms. Having a washroom inside the classroom is safer for the children and allows for fewer disruptions to the daily routine. I envision children exploring, observing, questioning, and learning in our new space, and I see them as benefiting directly from our new environment.
Mrs. Marnell
...The heart of Newton’s Grove has always resided in the idea of a community, one comprised of caring teachers, supportive student families, and visionary administrators. Our rich history reflects a shared commitment to the common goal of student success, and I anticipate a future in which the bonds supporting that goal both grow and strengthen. We have always been a student-focused school. What that means is that each student is valued, nurtured and inspired to dream. As a principal, my role is as a facilitator within our administrative team, supporting our teachers and acting as a liaison with our parents and the Ministry of Education. My direct responsibilities include the expansion of our academic curricula while raising our already high standards, increasing the range of courses offered, integrating our new programs, and furthering our involvement in the AP program.
Our new facilities alongside Wildwood Park offer unprecedented opportunities for growth. With state-of-the-art science and computer labs, I expect to see even greater emphasis on the sciences and technology. Hard-wired classrooms will give us the capacity to adapt and evolve throughout the twenty-first century, keeping us on the cutting edge as the future becomes the present. I envision an increase in the scope of our arts and humanities programs, building on the strong base we have already established in music, drama, and visual art. I expect our resource centre and library will become a much-used hub for students engaged in research and study. Our new facilities and partnership with SMASH will allow us to build new relationships and expand the reach of our community. My role in that future is ensuring that our commitment to each student’s success is what drives all our innovation and growth.
Mr. Edwards
...Self-esteem and individuality are cornerstones of Newton’s Grove. Having been with the school since 1983, first as a teacher and now as a principal, I have seen many changes over the years, but the school’s affirmation of these qualities has not wavered. Looking forward to our new home, I am really excited that we will be able to take all aspects of our program to a higher level. Our new facility will enable us to tap into technology more effectively, to build upon our already sound academic program, and enhance it even further. Our beautiful new building, and the green space surrounding it, will ensure a healthy environment in which our students can thrive in the arts and athletics. A Resource Centre and library in which to read, research and study will provide a wonderful opportunity for our students to pursue their love of learning.
I know our dedicated and caring teachers will continue to work hard to provide our students with outstanding programming. Building on the structure and routines that have been so successful for us in the past, I am confident that our new facility will enable students to achieve even more. Our diverse, well rounded program will continue to challenge students to strive for their personal best in academics, athletics, the arts and technology. Equally important, our spirit of community encourages our students to be caring and committed citizens.
Mrs. Dix
..."Education is boundless in its potential to impact one's life beyond the walls of any institution. I believe that educators have the challenging and unique opportunity to educate students in preparation for their future academic pursuits, while nurturing, encouraging and challenging the whole individual.
As Newton's Grove looks to the future, I will continue to innovate, connect, create and design education to meet the needs of every student. My goal is to ensure that each of them has the opportunity to ignite and explore their passion for education."
Ms Hart
..."Our students will reach for new heights as we continue to challenge them, by exposing them to the power and joy of music. It is the music itself that entices, that inspires, that draws young people into a celebration of life.
The success of our AP Music theory program has been incredible, and students who have gone through the program have been at the top of their classes in university. Our new music facilities will enhance and allow for even better AP and post-secondary preparation in music. As well, the new music room's facilities will allow enhanced preparation for our high school music trip to Cuba next year. This has become a staple of our music experience, and allows for an incredible interchange of musical ideas, culture and bonding.
Music is truly a universal language, and in a school as wonderfully diverse as ours, it is a language that unites us. For many years, I have seen the incredible opportunities for student leadership across all levels. I absolutely believe that this has been key to our music program's success. As we grow and bring more students into the program, one of my goals is to bring more music educators and instrumental specialists into the Newton's Grove Community, enhancing both our instrumental and vocal programs. This will allow something that is very important to me: to have a beginner instrumental program for students enrolling at Newton's Grove School in the intermediate and the high school grades. I wish to make our program accessible to everyone, not just to those students who have been with us since they were Juniors. My vision has always been to imbue a life-long love of music throughout the Newton’s Grove community."
Mr. Alonso
..."So much of what we do at Newton’s Grove is aimed at enabling students to grow and find their voices, and the dramatic arts can play an important role in that process."
Ms Hewitt
...
“Building a culture of excellence is the role of the school’s Director, Gabrielle Bush. For students to thrive, they must be fully engaged, and the team at Newton’s Grove understand this. For over 35 years, Newton’s Grove has established a reputation based on first-rate teaching, outstanding university placement, and excellence in academics, the arts and athletics. Our new campus will build on all of this, providing our students an ideal environment in which to learn, to participate, and to grow.”
