Among the goals Blaisdale Montessori School strives for are: a sound basis and a healthy attitude for life-long learning, self-discipline, self-respect, independence, getting along with others while developing a social conscience, initiative, ability to concentrate, self-confidence, spiritual growth and care of the environment. In regard to discipline, we use the Adlerian approach which is based on respect for the child and others and encourages the concept of self worth.
The Rosebank neighbourhood is in the southwest corner of Pickering, fronting Lake Ontario. With the Rouge River forming the western boundary, Petticoat Creek at the east, and a conservation area in the southeast region, and a waterfront trail, Rosebank has plenty of green space and natural areas. This is an older neighbourhood, with development beginning between 1900–1940. Later growth occurred in the 1970s. Housing is mostly single-detached homes, in a variety of styles and ages, on good-sized lots.
