Our School

Founded in 1961, TMS has evolved into a leading independent school that combines the Montessori and International Baccalaureate frameworks to provide students the foundation for a life of goodness and excellence. Operating from two campuses, we bookend the Town of Richmond Hill with exceptional learning environments for children of all ages and stages in this diverse and accessible part of the GTA.

Our Upper School is located 7 km to the north and is the only independent school in York Region that offers the International Baccalaureate Programme. Over 200 students from Grades 7-12 attend this modern, bright and student-centred campus where every day offers new and exciting activities such as an exhibit of student art, an impromptu debate or a pop-up lab to facilitate group projects.

IB Continuum School

TMS is an IB Continuum School offering both the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Diploma Programme (DP) from Grades 7 to 12. Cultivating a full spectrum of human capabilities, the IB focuses on student-led inquiry, a balanced academic program and active citizenship. IB learners develop traits and skills essential for success in a complex and interconnected world, such as creative problem solving, open mindedness, commitment to others and the ability to adopt multiple perspectives.

What does a student gain from undertaking the Diploma?

All high school diplomas are not equal, and the IB Diploma uniquely prepares students for post-secondary and lifelong learning. The tasks and requirements of the Diploma demand that students acquire pertinent skill sets so that they can think, communicate, self-manage, research and collaborate. IB Diploma students do not cram for exams; rather, they learn how to learn.
