The big picture on OMS Montessori

We summarized the school ourselves

Established in 1966, OMS is one of the older dedicated Montessori schools in the country. It’s also one of the larger Montessori environments, something that is in part a function of the school’s long success. Size is certainly not a bad thing, and the principal benefits are diversity within the student population and the breath of program offerings. That said, with a student population divided between two schools, OMS is able to have the best of both worlds, with each location feeling very close-knit in all the ways that we imagine Montessori programs to be. OMS grew from offering instruction in the primary years into the middle and high school years. In 2015, the high school grades became The Element, a school of its own. So, while the locations may be separate, the continuity across all grade levels is understandably attractive to the families that enroll at OMS.

We questioned the school adminstration

1. Who are you, as a school?

"Established in 1966, OMS Montessori is a non-profit, independent, CCMA accredited school providing an authentic Montessori education to nearly 400 students. Our students range in age from Toddler to Grade 12 at two unique campuses in the Nation's Capital. OMS is the first and only English and Francophone Montessori school in Ottawa. OMS Montessori takes great pride in being a leader in education."
