Elementary

For children aged 6 to 12, our program combines the advanced academic rigor of the Montessori method with interdisciplinary learning in math, language, biology, geography, and history, fostering curiosity and critical thinking.

Bilingual Community

We're not only providing a bilingual environment for children; we're cultivating a community that embodies the synergy of Canada's francophone and anglophone cultures. We believe in the power of bilingualism as a symbol of unity in Ottawa. That is why we are also offering a Francophone program.

Nurturing a Love of Nature

“We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.”Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

Nature plays an integral role in the Montessori classroom. It is through hands-on experience, support from classroom materials, and caring for the beautiful greenhouse at our school that they develop deep knowledge, love, and respect for our living Earth.

What is an Authentic Montessori School?

  • AMI Teachers

    Highly trained in the Montessori method with an internationally recognized diploma from the Association Montessori International. A Montessori teacher is a trained observer who embodies humility, love and respect for every child.

  • Prepared Environment

    Our specially designed classrooms are equipped with beautiful Montessori materials to develop your child's skills in Practical Life, Sensorial, Math, Language, Geography, Culture, Science, and Nature.

  • Multi-Aged Classroom

    Children with a three-year age difference create a community-focused atmosphere, supporting one another and fostering mutual learning and growth through diverse levels of maturity, talent, and skill. A multi-aged classroom promotes a sense of community vs. competition.

  • Peaceful

    Perhaps the most obvious difference between a Montessori classroom and a conventional school is the overall peacefulness of a Montessori classroom. Children are engaged and happy thereby creating a very peaceful and quiet environment.

“In the nurturing environment of a Montessori classroom, children's minds flourish like delicate flowers, guided by gentle hands.”

— Djamila Sahouli, Head of School and Founder at Blossom Montessori School.
