We are proud to share that Ashwood Glen School has been named Best Private School in Burlington, Ontario, for the third consecutive year in the Readers’ Favourite Awards.
Being recognized by the families and community we serve makes this honour especially meaningful. It reflects the dedication of our educators, the curiosity and growth of our students, and the trust families place in us every day.
But what makes a school stand out? For many families, it goes beyond academics. It is about finding a school where their child is known, supported, challenged, and given the opportunity to discover who they are as a learner.
An Education Designed Around the Whole Child
As Burlington’s only authorized IB World School for the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Ashwood Glen offers an educational journey that begins with our Montessori Children’s House and continues through IB Elementary and Middle School.
Our approach brings together the independence and inquiry of Montessori with the international perspective and inquiry-based learning of the IB framework.
What does that look like for students?
It means classrooms where children are encouraged to ask questions, explore ideas, work collaboratively, and think beyond simply finding the “right” answer. It means developing academic knowledge while also building confidence, communication skills, independence, and a sense of responsibility.
For families considering a private school, those differences can make a meaningful impact.
A School to Grow With
Our goal is to create an educational experience that grows with each child. As students move through the school, they are given increasing opportunities to take ownership of their learning, reflect on their progress, collaborate with others, and develop their own ideas.
The Montessori philosophy and IB framework work together to support that journey. Students are encouraged to become curious learners, thoughtful problem-solvers, compassionate community members, and confident individuals.
Because education is not just about preparing children for the next grade. It is about preparing them to approach what comes next with curiosity, confidence, and purpose.
“Community is the foundation where learning and belonging thrive.”
