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."

Aspire Beginnings
With 1 educator for every 2 students our low-ratio groups create stimulating learning environments for children aged 2-6.
The Aspire Beginnings program provides the optimal balance between structured learning activities and purposeful play. While traditional academic subjects are introduced, the focus of this program is teaching the foundational skills of learning: language, social interaction, imitation, attending, joint attention and self-regulation. Our philosophy combines small group teaching, one-on-one time with our educators, and play-based learning activities that are relevant, hands-on and fun!
Elementary Program
Aspire's elementary program offers highly-structured, small-group learning environments that focus on traditional academic subjects as well as social skills, communication, self-regulation and independence.
Guided by the
academic standards of the Ontario Curriculum (kindergarten through
grade 8), this program prepares students to transition to mainstream,
less-structured settings when ready. Individualized instruction allows
each student to learn at their own pace. Our educators tailor their
teaching to the varying skill levels, learning styles and unique interests
of our students in order to capture motivation and bring joy to learning!

Intensive Teaching
Our goal is to provide an optimal learning experience for each of our students. Our group-based programs can be supplemented with intensive teaching sessions that encourage students to develop strong learning
habits, problem-solving skills and self-regulation.
Our one-on-one, intensive teaching sessions provide opportunities for students to proactively learn skills that will help them flourish in many learning environments, while also providing additional teaching-time for more challenging academic tasks.

Music + Art
We love watching our students express themselves through music and art. Our integrative programs give students the opportunity to explore sound, painting, sculpture, drama and movement. Students develop fine- motor skills, hand-eye coordination and patience through visual arts, and gross-motor skills, self-awareness and confidence through performing arts.
Creative exploration boosts brain functioning, and helps our students stay focused when they return to academic activities.

Before + After Hours
We're proud to offer optional before- and after-hours programs; adding up to 2 additional hours of learning time to each day (1 before and 1 after).
These programs allow for additional intensive teaching (i.e. one-on-one tutoring) and/or time to engage in semi-structured play activities with fellow students. Themed clubs, including art, reading, lego and building, sports, and science discovery are arranged based on student interest and demand. These programs allow for flexible pick-up and drop-off between 8am-5pm.
