Our Mission

We proudly offer authentic Montessori education combined with Ontario Ministry curriculum to children ages 18 months to Grade 8. For 17 years, we have provided high-quality, comprehensive education that fosters our students’ love of learning and builds a foundation for a lifetime of success. Collaboration among students, teachers and parents is essential for student success. We strive to create a supportive, nurturing partnership with parents which will contribute to each child’s academic and personal growth.

Why do so many families choose Montessori?

Lessons are tailored to each child and presented when they are most receptive and ready to learn.
Academic growth is nurtured alongside social, emotional, and physical development.
The freedom to move and select activities encourages independence and builds self-confidence.
Modern neuroscience and developmental studies continually support the Montessori method.

Parent Reviews

“The staff at Barrie Montessori School are amazing! During this pandemic, the staff have shown that the health, safety, comfort and well being of all the children is paramount. I’m very impressed with the measures taken to ensure that staff and students remain safe and healthy. During these difficult times, the staff and management have been warm and supportive. I also have a great deal of respect for the support that all staff show when educating and inspiring my daughter to be the best she can be!”

“I have sent both of my children to this school; my eldest attended from grades 3-5 and my youngest attended from CASA PS-SK. Both children greatly benefitted from the warmth of the teachers, the principal and the rest of the school community. Their academics improved greatly. Since leaving Barrie Montessori School, the children often speak of fond memories of their time there. They have excelled in their current schooling, extracting from the confidence of their learning at BMS!”
