Discovery House Montessori School · Since 2004

Where curious minds become capable lives.

A Montessori education for children from infancy through elementary school, combining christian values, bilingual learning and a commitment to developing confident, capable and compassionate human beings.

Welcome to Discovery House

Education for life.

At Discovery House Montessori School, we believe education is about more than preparing children for the next stage of school. It is about preparing them for life.

We create an environment where children are encouraged to think independently, learn deeply, communicate confidently, create freely, relate meaningfully and grow into people of character and purpose.

Our Montessori approach places the child at the centre of the learning experience while our Christian foundation shapes how we understand, nurture and serve each child.

Bilingual Learning

Two languages. A wider world.

French is an important part of the Discovery House experience. Through meaningful exposure to French and English, children develop language skills while gaining greater awareness of another culture and perspective.

Beyond studying, we believe language should be experienced, used and enjoyed.

Children are encouraged to develop character, integrity, compassion, responsibility and a heart for service.

Our Educators

Children learn from adults who know how to see them.

They observe carefully, guide intentionally and provide children with the opportunity to develop independence while knowing when support is needed.
