Our School

Situated in historic Unionville, Ontario, Unionville Montessori Private School (UMS) is widely recognized as a distinguished educational setting. UMS is a co-educational, non-denominational private school officially registered with the Ontario Ministry of Education and Training. Established in 1987, the school has a proud tradition of quality instruction, measurable educational excellence, and noteworthy student achievement.

Our Mission 

To promote academic excellence within an enriched curriculum by providing positive educational opportunities for children which foster leadership, achievement, and a love of learning.

Recognizing that facts and figures change, we also focus on teaching children how to learn rather than merely what to learn. This approach reinforces creative thinking, problem solving, team building, and self-confidence. These four elements are critical to the development of future success. They guide our Elementary and Casa educational programmes.

Our Philosophy 

Unionville Montessori School (UMS) is dedicated to providing an exceptional learning experience. Students are active participants in their own education. Classroom lessons encourage students who get admission to explore, discover, challenge, and debate as they engage in dialogues with their peers and their teachers. UMS strives to provide a well-rounded approach to education. Students develop the skills they need to succeed in school and in life through activities that promote academic excellence, self-reliance, good sportsmanship, aesthetic appreciation, and critical thinking. We help our students to become self-motivated and self-disciplined scholars as well as responsible citizens in their community, their country, and their world. At UMS, learning is a total life experience.
