Established in 2003, La Maison Montessori House believes both English and French are essential to Canadian culture and offers a complete French immersion program for students in Grades 1 to 8. It also offers a casa program for students aged two and a half to six. Students at La Maison speak French all day long, with the exception of music, art, and physical education. This amount of immersion ensures students leave the program in Grade 8 with the ability to write and converse in French.
La Maison Montessori House is committed to the intellectual, physical, and emotional development of every child through organized educational activities. Following the Montessori philosophy, instructors respect children’s innate curiosity and desire for independence. Overall, the school provides a harmonious environment that fosters work, self-discipline, and a lifelong love of learning.
Established in Toronto and Mississauga in 2006, A+ Academy of Advancement offers a diverse array of educational opportunities at both locations. The academy prides itself on its high-quality education, focusing on both lower and higher secondary school students, short professional courses, and preparing international students for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). A+ Academy is also known as an International Language Academy, offering five levels of English as a Second Language (ESL) courses, delivered by TESL certified teachers. Language learning at A+ Academy goes beyond the classroom, with community participation across Toronto to enhance real-life communication skills and cultural understanding. With a commitment to keeping class sizes between 6-8 students, A+ Academy customizes lessons to each student's strengths and needs, a feature which has been integral to the academy's growth and success, contributing to the students' personal and career success.

"LMMH offers French immersion for students aged 3 years to 13 years. In a traditional school, the teacher does the majority of the talking. Our Montessori school environment, on the other hand, allows for constant conversation. This constant use of French conversation ensures that the language becomes “hardwired” in the children’s brains. In other words, we put the “immersion” in French immersion."
"A+ Academy of Advancement is a private school (K-12) inspected by the Ontario Ministry of Education (MoE) and is authorized to grant high school credits. Through our small class sizes (6-10 students), we provide the maximum one-on-one attention needed for academic success. We believe in the holistic approach to student success, and so from the moment they register, we provide guidance in a variety of areas (University applications, extracurriculars, general well-being, etc.)."

This was a journey I took on in 2003 for the love of my son, as I wanted to offer him a warm, and academically challenging environment to learn. Also being from Montreal, it was important for me that my son learn French. I now realize it has grown to become much more. I feel lucky to be contributing to our future – starting with children. This journey all began for the love of my son, yet I have been blessed with all the love of the children year after year. When I tell people “I am going to work”, I can hardly use the word “work” as I truly feel lucky to come to school surrounded by such wonderful smiles from all the children.
The families that are part of our LMMH community are like-minded and value the philosophy that our staff and teachers uphold at our school. When we all work together, your child grows to their greatest potential to be the best person they can be.

Particularly popular in the younger grades (preschool to elementary), but sometimes available all the way up to high school, Montessori schools offer an alternative vision to the standard lesson format of most classrooms. Instead of listening to whole-class lessons, Montessori classrooms allow students to choose which "tasks" or activities interest them. These tasks centre around special Montessori puzzles - their essential feature being they contain a right answer and allow for selfcorrection. A strong emphasis is therefore placed on lessons being concrete and rooted in practical experience, along with students developing a sense of self-sufficiency, confidence and curiosity.
Traditional curricula tend to be very content-based and rooted in the core disciplines. It is a structured approach that involves the teacher delivering a unified curriculum through direct instruction. Students usually learn by observing and listening to their teacher, studying facts and concepts in textbooks, and completing both tests and written assignments - which challenge students to not only demonstrate their mastery of content but their ability to analyze and deconstruct it critically. Class discussions are also used to create critical dialogue around the content of the curriculum.

Academic
Montessori programs aimed at preschool and Kindergarten- aged children allow young learners to choose which “tasks” or activities interest them. These tasks centre around special Montessori puzzles -- the essential features of these puzzles being they contain a “right answer” and allow for self-correction. A strong emphasis is therefore placed on learning being concrete and rooted in practical experience, along with children developing a sense of self-sufficiency and confidence. Specially trained teachers act as guides, introducing children to progressively more difficult materials when appropriate. A Montessori classroom is typically very calm and orderly, with children working alone or, sometimes, in small groups.
If you want to learn more about Montessori education, check out our comprehensive guide. You can also check out our guide to Montessori preschools, elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools.
Academic-based preschools and Kindergartens are the most structured of the different types, and have a strong emphasis on math and reading readiness skills. These programs aim to expose children to what early-elementary school is like. While time is still allotted to free play, much of the day is built around explicit lessons guided by the teacher. Classrooms often resemble play-based ones (with different stations set up around the room), but at an Academic program the teacher leads students through the stations directly, and ties these activities to a whole-class lesson or theme.
