Dearcroft Montessori & West Wind Junior High

Dearcroft offers Montessori programs from Toddler to Grade 8. Located on a magnificently wooded, historic estate in Old Oakville, Dearcroft is situated just steps from beautiful lakeside parks. Our school is accredited by CCMA (Canadian Council of Montessori Administrators) and is staffed by qualified, experienced and highly motivated teachers. Within classically structured and fully equipped Montessori classrooms, immersed in a naturally inspired setting, our students experience an exciting, well balanced curriculum. In close cooperation, all members of our school community recognize the strength of an outstanding team and are appreciative of the opportunity to work together in such a creative and exciting learning environment.

Dearcroft Montessori provides inspiration, opportunity and educational challenge within a nurturing, supportive environment, promoting maximum growth and development.

Operating for over 55 years, Dearcroft is also home to the West Wind Montessori Junior High program. West Wind is Canada’s award-winning leader in elementary experiential education. We offer outdoor education, including a rotation of winter trips to destinations such as Camp Wanakita, Ottawa and Quebec City. For over 25 years, our unique Expedition Education program has taken groups of our students coast-to-coast, exploring spectacular world heritage sites and national parks in Canadian locations as diverse as the Yukon and Newfoundland. As much a neighborhood school, as a school with a national vision.

Dearcroft is a proven leader within our educational community. Extended learning opportunities also include MMUN (Montessori Model United Nations) conferences held at U.N headquarters in New York City. This opportunity provides a globally inspired curriculum within an optimally sized classroom environment.

Dearcroft Montessori School is excited to offer bold and inspiring Montessori education to more families in Oakville.
