Primary and secondary school in Toronto, Canada
Mildenhall Montessori Schools is a group of Montessori schools in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, for children from toddler age to middle school.

Teaching follows the Montessori method, with an emphasis on independence, practical life skills and natural studies such as botany and zoology from the primary level; world geography is taught from a young age. Assessment is formative and avoids traditional tests. From Elementary to Middle School, an Outdoor Education programme dedicates one full day each week to learning outdoors.
New students start in September or January, with some exceptions during the year if space allows. Families first attend an open house or info session, where they receive an application form. After the application is reviewed, the child is placed on a waitlist and the family is invited to a 15-minute classroom observation and a short meeting with the principal. Offers for September are made on a rolling basis from 1 December.
