ACADEMICS
Montessori Preschool
The goal of the Preschool program is the development of the whole child. We strive to develop their self-esteem and cultivate their natural desire to learn. We encourage learning through discovery to facilitate a deeper understanding and application of knowledge.
Our personalized curriculum and individualized instructions facilitate success in the academically rich environment, while maintaining social and peer relationships. Within each classroom, students work at their own ability for each subject. Learning strategies are level appropriate for advanced studies and reinforcement.
Montessori Kindergarten
Children under six have an impressive ability and drive to absorb knowledge from their surroundings. We at Century Private School strongly believe in taking advantage of this sensitive period through our series of JK/SK programs that promote multi-sensory learning.
By offering various forms of stimulation while permitting children the freedom to pursue their own educational inclinations, the optimal path of personal and social growth can be found and pursued. While we approach education from a holistic perspective, our curriculum does have several distinct components.
Elementary School
The elementary program at Century is centred on the goal of inspiring excellence. With an enriched curriculum and a focus on leadership, character development, and community service, our dedicated teachers provide support and engagement as students strive to achieve academic success and personal and social growth.

The school’s mission is to inspire excellence in all students via the building of character, developing leadership, and promoting service to others. While following the Ontario Ministry of Education diploma requirements, the school’s vision is to provide each student with an individualized program and pathway that will ensure success as a secondary school graduate and to attend the university or college of their choice.

IB EDUCATION
Our goal is to create a nurturing environment in which students are motivated to develop critical thinking skills through inquiry. BY challenging students to strive for academic excellence and personal growth, we aim to encourage them to develop a lifelong passion for learning and become reflective global citizens.
The International Baccalaureate® aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment. These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
