The Giles School was founded on the concept of early academic intervention within a bilingual setting. Our highly enriched French immersion academic programme, beginning in Pre-K (age 2), gives Giles School students an education comparable to the best programmes in the world. The school is registered as a charitable organization. Unique to the Giles School is our enriched French immersion programme, which enables children with no previous French experience to read and write in French by the end of Grade 1. The Giles School pursues international academic excellence by providing a nurturing environment for emotional and intellectual growth, a curriculum based upon the highest international standards and proven methodologies and instills in children a sense of responsibility and confidence to meet the challenges of an ever increasingly complex world.
Banbury-Don Mills is a mixed-use neighbourhood in the North York district. It was developed to be a self-supporting "new town" and was at the time located outside of Toronto proper. Consisting of residential, commercial and industrial sub-districts, it was planned and developed by private enterprise. In several ways it became the blueprint for postwar suburban development in Toronto and contemporary residential neighbourhoods.
