Curriculum & results
Stages · ages 2–14
The school is organised into four stages. Prima Casa and Casa form a single three-year cycle for children from two and a half to six, where mixed-age classrooms let younger children learn alongside older ones. Lower Elementary covers Grades 1 to 3 and Upper Elementary Grades 4 to 6, each run as a multi-age group so that a child stays with the same teacher and community for several years. Junior High covers Grades 7 and 8 and closes the programme; graduates move on to secondary school elsewhere.
Approach · General Curriculum
The school describes itself as a place of joyful, active learning and aims to give children a warm, supportive setting in which they can reach their potential by following their own curiosity towards discovery, challenge and academic achievement. Its stated purpose is to nurture each child's natural love of learning through a carefully prepared environment, with parents and teachers sharing the job of helping children develop at every stage. Diversity, inclusivity and respect are presented as the principles the community is built on.
Languages
Teaching and daily school life at SMS are in English, which is the language of instruction across the Prima Casa, Casa, Elementary and Junior High programmes. French is taught as a regular specialist class: students describe French lessons alongside Music and Gym as part of their weekly timetable. The school does not advertise itself as a bilingual or immersion programme, so French is best understood as a second-language subject within an English-medium Montessori curriculum delivered in Ontario.
