Admissions to Humbervale Montessori School

Our school is licensed by the Ministry of Education, and is also an accredited member of the Canadian Council of Montessori Administrators (C.C.M.A.). We welcome new students, ages 2 ½ to 6, at any time during the year (space permitting). In order for a child to be accepted into our programme, parents must make a 3 year commitment so the child is able to complete a full Montessori cycle. A Commitment Fee is charged.

We offer three options to suit our parents’ schedules and the needs of their children:

Morning Programme:

All classes — 8:45 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.

Afternoon Programme:

All classes — 12:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Full-day Programme:

All classes — 8:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Some students attend local public or Catholic schools in the morning and attend our afternoon program for enrichment. Please click here to learn more about our extra days and extended hours under the Special School Programming and Services section.

Tuition

As Montessori Schools are private schools, and therefore separate from the public and Catholic school boards, they must charge tuition. Montessori tuition throughout Canada is comparable to or slightly higher than some other private schools because of the additional cost of materials, the beautiful learning environment, the curriculum, low student-teacher ratios, and the high caliber of specially trained staff.

Many parents choose Humbervale Montessori School as an experiential and academically richer alternative to preschool or daycare. Over the course of our three-year program, parents see the enthusiasm and advanced development in their children which prepare them for the challenges that lie ahead in elementary school.

“My daughter is now 29 years old, currently in her last year in university, a successful student with a full-time job awaiting her at graduation (and she's a wonderful human being, too). I am fully convinced that her success in school and life to date has been hugely influenced by her experience at Humbervale Montessori. Miss Andrea and her capable team inspire a lasting love of learning in an atmosphere of respect for self and others. It's also an important education for parents.

I learned how great school CAN be for kids and it has guided both my daughter and me to look for her best possible choices at every step along the way. We feel it was worth every dollar we spent!”

When someone asks me how I like Humbervale Montessori, I tell them that I can’t think of a better situation for my family. There is so much to like about it - we love the Montessori philosophy and approach, and the way in which Humbervale puts it into practice; the bright and spacious classrooms; the caring and respectful way the teachers engage with the children; the nurturing and social environment of the school; the teachers’ responsiveness to the individuality of the children and their families…

Perhaps the most indicative thing I can say is that my daughter is happy and stimulated throughout the day; happy and excited at the beginning and at the end of each day; and that that enthusiasm extends into our home. An enormous thank you to Ms. Andrea and my daughter’s many teachers for all they do, each and every day. We are truly grateful.
