Go to child profileRotherglen is what school should be – a safe learning environment where students are excited to learn, and where open communication, inspiring teachers, and an enhanced curriculum ensure our students thrive. We offer an exceptional Montessori program for students age 4 to Grade 3, and an enriched and progressive program in Grades 4-8. Our programs inspire and promote intellectual curiosity, creativity and individual growth through the integration of academics, arts, athletics, community service and leadership.
What learning looks like now: We were thrilled to welcome our students back to school for the 2021/22 school year. The safe reopening of each Rotherglen School campus has been developed under the following principles: providing a safe and healthy school environment for students, teachers and staff; providing a consistently high-quality education; maintaining close communication with and adhering to the advice of Ontario’s Ministry of Health, local health authorities and Ontario’s Ministry of Education; respecting the opinions of our parent community; protecting the uniqueness and strength of our vibrant learning environment, putting our community first. Students have the option to: Learn in the classroom - students attend school for in person learning 5 days a week Learn at Home - learners live stream into their classes each day via cameras A Combination of Learning in the Classroom and Learning at Home - students opt in and out on a monthly basis
Additional notes: Families may choose to use an independent company. Please contact the school for further details.
Particularly popular in the younger grades (preschool to elementary), but sometimes available all the way up to high school, Montessori schools offer an alternative vision to the standard lesson format of most classrooms. Instead of listening to whole-class lessons, Montessori classrooms allow students to choose which "tasks" or activities interest them. These tasks centre around special Montessori puzzles - their essential feature being they contain a right answer and allow for selfcorrection. A strong emphasis is therefore placed on lessons being concrete and rooted in practical experience, along with students developing a sense of self-sufficiency, confidence and curiosity.

An entrance assessment for students entering Grade 1 is conducted on an informal basis with a school administrator and lasts approximately 30 minutes. Students in Grades 2 through Grade 8 complete a formal written assessment which takes approximately 90 minutes.
This is the percentage of applicants typically accepted into the school. So if 50 students are admitted out of 100 applicants, the school has an overall acceptance rate of 50%.
