Ashwood Glen is Burlington’s only private school offering a seamless educational journey from Montessori early years through to the globally recognized International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme for Grades 1–8.
Here, we live our commitment every day. Inspire. Empower. Excel.
We foster excellence, inspire leadership and empower students with skills to lead fulfilling lives.
At Ashwood Glen, we aim to be the best International Baccalaureate (IB) school by integrating Montessori principles in the early years — fostering academic excellence, holistic development, a global mindset in a nurturing and innovative environment that supports the growth of every student.
Vision-built. Community-driven. Child-centred.
Ashwood Glen was born from the dream of two entrepreneurs passionate about quality education.
They envisioned a school that families could grow with — from the formative early years, where Montessori fosters curiosity and character, through to Grades 1–8, where the International Baccalaureate (IB) framework serves as a launchpad for life.
With small class ratios and a connected community, every student is truly known and supported.
Montessori roots. IB wings. A future-ready foundation.
What makes Ashwood Glen truly unique is the intentional way we support a child’s journey from independence to innovation.
Our school begins with the freedom, hands-on exploration, and self-direction of Montessori, and transitions seamlessly into the inquiry-based IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), where students are encouraged to think critically, act with compassion, and grow into confident young leaders.
Both Montessori and IB share a common spirit: inquiry-led learning, a global mindset, and a commitment to character development. Together, they create a seamless journey that prepares students to be future-ready — not just for academics, but for life.
This vision has grown into Burlington’s only Montessori-to-IB World School — an innovative, connected community school where students are inspired, empowered, and thriving.
At every stage, we ensure each child is seen, supported, and celebrated through:
1
Montessori foundations that build independence through hands-on, self-directed learning.
2
Seamless IB transition that nurtures inquiry, deep thinking, and compassion.
3
Small class sizes to ensure personalized attention and meaningful connections.
4
Dedicated educators who serve as mentors, guides, and champions of student growth.
5
Enriched academics with a strong emphasis on STEAM and future-ready skills.
6
Creative expression through arts, music, and second language learning.
7
Character development woven throughout the learning experience.
8
Life-ready preparation that goes beyond academics to build confidence and purpose.
Community is at the heart of everything we do. At Ashwood Glen, we believe that a student’s success is amplified through authentic connection between home and school.
We empower students to take ownership of their learning journey, to lead with confidence, and to inspire one another. By encouraging initiative and fostering leadership, our students help shape a school culture where every voice matters and every individual can thrive.
Our Parent Engagement Committee offers families meaningful opportunities to connect, contribute, and collaborate — building community through events, initiatives, and shared celebration.
Our families are partners in learning and key to helping our students Inspire. Empower. Excel.
