Specialized Programs

We have an extensive Music Program which begins in Casa. Children experience the joy of musical expression through songs and games and are given an introduction to musical instruments. Elementary music begins with recorder and goes up to band level. The children perform 3 concerts per year. Additionally, there is a yearly trip to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. Wayne Meade, our music teacher, has a B.A. in Education and Music Education and has been teaching privately for over 20 years. His goal is to pass on his joy and love of music to the children.

At the Casa level, students have French regularly throughout the week. Along with the traditional Montessori curriculum, each class participates in songs, stories and crafts. The Elementary students attend French classes daily and learn vocabulary and grammar through dynamic presentations and projects including our Arts and Science fairs. Ellie Atlaschi, our French teacher, has her Master’s Degree from the University of Paris.

Elementary students participate in our physical education program which includes fitness training, soccer, swimming, skating and yoga, all taught by professionals. We take advantage of the many wonderful gym facilities located in the Woodbridge area.
