Our School

At Rowntree Montessori Schools (RMS), we expose children to a prepared environment featuring sensory and interactive activities where learning is fun, spontaneous and organic. We teach children the sense of responsibility through the joy of learning so that it becomes second nature and is based on their innate curiosity.

Rowntree Montessori Schools is the largest and longest serving Montessori school in Brampton having been registered with the Ontario Ministry of Education since 1969. Rowntree Montessori School was founded in 1969 with 13 students in the basement of a church in Bramalea. A few years later this independent private school was moved to the former Bramalea campus. In 1988, Rowntree Montessori School was taken over by Mr. Joe Essaye, and a complete overhaul of the educational programmes was immediately implemented. Under the new management, Rowntree Montessori School grew from 37 students in June of 1988 to 120 in December of 1992.Due to the overwhelming increase in the demand for its services, a new RMS campus was inaugurated in Downtown Brampton in January of 1993. This campus experienced a rapid growth, and today has an enrollment of approximately 100 students. 

French

At Rowntree Montessori Schools, students are given a “head start” in French Studies, as they begin to study in the Core French Program during their Junior Kindergarten year, and continue throughout the primary, junior, and intermediate grades.

RMS Approach

At Rowntree Montessori Schools (RMS), we expose children to a prepared environment featuring sensory and interactive activities where learning is fun, spontaneous and organic. We teach children the sense of responsibility through the joy of learning so that it becomes second nature and is based on their innate curiosity.

Our Kindergarten Montessori (Junior Kindergarten) and Prep-ONE (Senior Kindergarten) programmes are Montessori-inspired, which means that our classrooms are carefully prepared for a wide variety of learners, who learn at their own pace, and where every child has a sense of belonging, while teachers are guiding them in this self-discovery process every step of the way. With small class sizes, our skilled teachers work with each student bringing out the best in every one.
