"The Element is an innovative high school, which places youth in their ‘element’, in school and beyond. Located in the dynamic Lansdowne Park area, The Element hosts Grade 7 to 12 students who thrive on being challenged and engaged in the whole educational process. Although the curriculum is based on Montessori pedagogy, a previous Montessori education is not required; a passion for life, knowledge and global inquiry is!"
"Students begin their Element journey with The Odyssey Trip in e1 with the Indigenous peoples of the Moose River, and move into weekly community connections through AWOL experiences (Authentic World of Learning) in e2 and e3. The e2 students plan, fundraise and execute an Urban Adventure Trip while the e3 students plan and fundraise for an international community service trip to a community in Costa Rica."

"The role of the teacher at The Element goes beyond the traditional providing an environment where the student goes beyond the Ontario Curriculum. Additionally, our teachers serve as mentors to our students through their advisory roles, individually supporting and guiding our students through their journey at The Element. Ultimately our students develop a strong sense of self, the skills they need for success and a curiosity about the world."
"The Montessori concepts of freedom and choice are powerful tools that empower and engage our students. With clear expectations on the outcomes required, students are provided with the opportunity to choose how they are going to meet the outcomes and as the work is personally relevant they often exceed expectations and make associations and connections beyond the assignment requirements. Students are given freedom within specific frameworks and guidelines and held accountable to outcomes."
