Dearcroft Montessori School

Dearcroft Montessori School’s mission is to provide our students with the opportunity to develop and nurture their individual academic and social strengths in a safe and motivational learning environment.

Within classically structured and fully equipped Montessori classrooms, immersed in a naturally inspired setting, our students experience an exciting, well-balanced curriculum.

At Dearcroft Montessori School we are committed to promoting individuality of all of our students and to creating a positive school climate that is inclusive, equitable and accepting. We endeavor to teach our students to respect, appreciate and value the differences they see in one another regardless of, but not limited to, gender, ethnicity, ancestry, place of origin, colour, citizenship, gender identity, gender expression or disability. We expect that all students always demonstrate these values. We offer equal opportunities for participation and learning for all our students and will ensure that they feel secure in knowing that their contributions to the school are valued.
