Our School
"At the Magnolia School, our goal is to inspire a lifetime love of learning in every child. As a private school we can focus on the right methodology for your child, instead of teaching a general plan to a large group of children."
Preschool
"The perfect balance of play, structured activities and prepared academics. Our students spend one-on-one time with their teacher, learn in small groups and play with their peers. We also teach and encourage autonomy, including clean-up after play and lunch. We focus on traditional academic subjects including reading, writing, math and science as well as music, art, citizenship and social skills."

Assessments
Before beginning, each student completes an individualized assessment. Using a combination of evidence-based tools and our curriculum guides, these assessments involve presenting a variety of activities and tasks in order to determine our starting point. These assessments give us the opportunity to learn more about each student. They give us a sense of how they learn, what they like, what they're good at, and what challenges them.
Individualized Education Plans (IEP)
We know that every student learns in a different way. We embrace these differences and create an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) for each of our students. Our IEPs identify the students' strengths, challenges and learning style. They also detail learning goals, the teaching strategies that will be implemented and how the students' progress will be measured. A unique schedule is created for each student to ensure the optimal balance between group-based learning and intensive teaching.
The Aspire Curriculum
The Aspire Curriculum (kindergarten to Grade 8) was developed with the goal of making the provincial academic standards
more accessible for students with unique learning needs. We've transformed the Ontario Curriculum by breaking each teaching subject into concrete and measurable skills. Our well-rounded curriculum focuses on traditional academic subjects, as well as language, communication and social skills. The accompanying curriculum assessments ensure that students are learning skills that they can then use in practical and meaningful ways.
