The overview highlights the vision, values, and guiding principles that shape leadership and the student experience at Rowntree Montessori Schools (RMS).
Darlene Schewske, Head of School
Welcome to Rowntree Montessori Schools, where we have been nurturing tomorrow's achievers for over 50 years!
At Rowntree, we offer a vibrant, Montessori-inspired education for children from Junior Kindergarten (JK) through Grade 8. Our seamless transition from Kindergarten to Elementary ensures a cohesive and enriching learning experience. We are dedicated to supporting each child’s growth—academically, physically, emotionally, and socially.
Our elementary program not only meets but often surpasses the Ontario Ministry of Education standards, with a strong emphasis on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM). In a more traditional classroom setting, we blend the warmth and personalized care of the Montessori approach with 21st-century learning skills, creating an environment that fosters academic excellence and personal development.
At the core of our mission is "Nurturing Tomorrow’s Achievers." We consistently evolve and improve our programs to ensure our students remain challenged and engaged. Our vibrant co-curricular offerings in the arts and athletics, coupled with in-school mentorship and community-oriented charitable efforts, equip our students to emerge as self-assured leaders both within the school and in the larger world.
Selecting the right school is a significant decision, and we are here to assist you in this important process. We support students throughout their entire elementary journey, all while helping them build lasting friendships as they graduate from Grade 8.
We look forward to welcoming you soon!
Darlene Schewske
Head of School
