Additional notes: Bus service is available to TEAM School students in most areas of Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville, and Etobicoke, and in selected areas of Toronto. Bus service must be booked via the registration package by August 1st in order to be accommodated into the coming year’s routes. Any bookings after August 1st will be assigned the closest existing stop. Parents will receive a letter in the second week of August which outlines the route number, stop location, and approximates pick-up/drop-off times. This information will be confirmed by the homeroom teacher in an introductory phone call in the five days preceding the first day of classes. Contact the school’s busing co-ordinator at the Main Campus ([email protected] or 905-271-3393) if you have not received this letter by August 15th.
"Since 1981, TEAM School has offered an individualized academic programme for students who benefit from the additional support that can be provided in a small class setting. In the TEAM programme (up to 9 students), teachers utilize Direct Instruction strategies and programmes in core subject areas to build skill mastery. The TEAM Programme provides an excellent academic upgrading programme where fundamental skills are consolidated. The TEAM Preparatory (Prep) programme (up to 5 students) provides further support through a smaller class size and individualized programme. Students work toward skill acquisition with emphasis on the integration of personal skills and work habits for individual success and a greater level of independence. The academic programme is augmented by specialty classes in science, physical education, music, and the performing arts."
TEAM School addresses the needs of a variety of students: students who require academic upgrading, students who benefit from small class sizes and extra teacher support, and students who have had an educational assessment indicating a learning challenge. TEAM School the Science of Reading approaches to learning reading. Targeted intervention and ongoing data collection of students' evaluation helps to ensure that we are maintaining the appropriate level of instruction for each student.
While we value creativity in the TEAM School classroom, we first need to ensure that there is a solid foundation. Additionally, while interest-based learning has its place, sometimes teachers will need to limit the scope of the subject matter in order to provide a narrower focus.
Key moments in the history of TEAM School begin with the founding of the school in 1981. A milestone for the school was in 1991 - when TEAM School adopted DI (Direct Instruction) as a teaching methodology. In 2012, the Ontario Human Rights Commission released the Right To Read Report. In 2024, we introduced the TEAM School Prep Programme in which further support is provided through a smaller class size (5 students) and individualized programme.
TEAM School offers a positive learning environment for a variety of students. For example, students who have been identified with a learning disability or students who are on the Autism Spectrum Disorder can benefit from TEAM School’s small class sizes and highly structured environment. With respect to exceptional learners, while TEAM School does have some gifted students, the typical TEAM student is challenged and requires additional support. A typical TEAM student may also experience organizational difficulties or anxiety. Most important, perhaps, are the family of the child’s expectation and mindset. There must be a recognition that the child’s needs are not being met in the current school and that a change of school may be beneficial. Once this is established, doors to learning begin to open and parents will begin to experience clear and regular communication regarding the child’s progress and learning.
TEAM School employs DI (Direct Instruction) as a main method of instruction. We employ technology as appropriate and when appropriate for student learning, but it is not embedded into every lesson, everyday. Nightly homework is an integral part of consolidating classwork. As a school aimed at remediating issues in a child's learning, inquiry-based learning and student-directed learning are less of a focus
Families choose TEAM School because they value traditional approaches to learning. Parents see their child’s confidence increase as they experience success. Gaps close as the TEAM student’s work ethic improves. Clear and regularly-scheduled communication with the teacher, extracurricular options, and leadership opportunities all contribute to a positive and supportive framework designed for student success. Facilities for swimming and outdoor education round out a complete learning experience. Our transportation system safely delivers to and from school everyday covering all of Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville, and Etobicoke.
First-time visitors to the school often mention TEAM School’s individualized attention. When we interact with parents at events like the Our Kids Expo, they seem to have the sense that the TEAM programme is an impactful one that makes positive changes in students’ lives. Parents regularly mention and ask about our extracurricular programme.
We believe that the TEAM extracurricular program offers a club or team for just about every interest. There are clubs, teams, and special events at TEAM that have been running for decades. Many of these groups were initiated by a student or staff member's passion and knowledge in a specific area. Most clubs, teams, and events are grade/division-specific and school-wide events like the Culture Show and the charity fundraiser Arcadium bring together students of all ages.
Families are pleased when they discover how long TEAM School has been in existence. For over 40 years, TEAM has prepared students for success by providing a solid academic foundation. Visitors may also be surprised by the dynamic programming - which shifts, changes, and adapts depending on the individual student's progression. TEAM School is a typical school full of typical students. Instead of closing doors, TEAM opens doors to new opportunities.
The biggest change in recent years has been the introduction of the TEAM School Prep Programme in 2024. The TEAM Preparatory (Prep) programme provides further support through a smaller class size and individualized programme. Students work toward skill acquisition with emphasis on the integration of personal skills and work habits for individual success and a greater level of independence. Students are grouped by division (Primary, Junior, Intermediate, and Senior) up to the Grade 8 level, in classes of up to 5 students organized using the TEAM model with team-teaching of two classes in the classroom. The TEAM Prep programme prepares students for continuation to the next level of the programme or for transition into the TEAM programme, and for success in a larger class setting.
