Here’s the OUR KIDS guide to Montessori middle schools in Canada—your resource for exploring child-centred education during the adolescent years. Montessori middle schools provide an environment where students continue to learn through independence, collaboration, and hands-on experiences, while also preparing for the academic and personal challenges of high school and beyond.
On this page, we feature Montessori middle schools in Toronto, Ottawa, Mississauga, Pickering, and Scarborough, as well as other schools across Ontario and throughout Canada.
For more than 30 years, OUR KIDS has been Canada’s trusted source for information on private and independent education. On OurKids.net, you’ll find detailed school profiles, parent reviews, comparison tools, and expert insights to support your decision-making. For a more detailed guide to Montessori education, including philosophy, theory, and curricular approaches, check out our guide to Montessori schools.
Montessori middle schools (or junior high schools) include kids aged 12 to 14, the equivalent of grades 7 and 8 in most schools. There are quite a few Montessori middle schools in Canada (though not as many as there are elementary or preschools). These schools vary in terms of their approach, philosophy, learning environment, and program offerings. The schools listed below reflect this diversity. They can be filtered for a wide range of features.
These are the leading schools that Our Kids editors have covered most extensively so far, providing detailed insights and thorough analysis of their programs, student life, and more.

Some schools aren't Montessori schools, but use a Montessori approach for their preschool or daycare program. This approach gives young learners plenty of freedom to choose tasks and activities that interest them, which promotes their independence and confidence. It also strongly emphasizes concrete learning, where children work with lots of hands-on materials, and do practical life activities. Children usually work independently or in small groups in these programs.
These are the leading schools that Our Kids editors have covered most extensively so far, providing detailed insights and thorough analysis of their programs, student life, and more.

Montessori middle schools have a unique approach and philosophy based on the insights of Maria Montessori. They feature a lot of self-directed learning, interaction, and group projects. For more coverage of Montessori middle schools, preschools, and elementary schools, see our main Montessori school guide.
Child-specific advice on choosing a Montessori school
Read our child-specific insights on choosing the right school, including Montessori schools. We explore how choosing the right type of school depends on kids' unique traits, such as their mental and academic focus, social tendencies, and activity level.
To customize over 350 school profiles with insights unique to your child’s traits, create a child profile through an Our Kids user account.
In Montessori middle schools, students do lots of independent and group work. They also often have some uninterrupted work time, where they can focus on tasks or projects by themselves or with others. This is a hallmark of the Montessori method.
Montessori middle schools focus on core academics. Students study math, science, languages, creative writing, and history, among other subjects. They may also use technology, primarily for research purposes.
Middle schools prepare students for high school, where they likely won’t continue in a Montessori program. Students may begin practicing note-taking and receive some assignments and tests, though grading may not always be applied.
Montessori middle schools blend standard Montessori education—including self-directed learning, group work, and peer teaching—with traditional middle school practices like note-taking, assignments, and tests.
Some lectures are given, especially for subjects such as math and science. More often, teachers deliver short lessons to small groups, offer special guidance and support, and encourage note-taking and gradual grading of assignments and tests.
Students frequently work in groups to complete challenging projects. Older students often help younger students, reinforcing learning for both.
