Trinity Montessori School is like our daughter’s second home. She started in the Casa program at the age of 2.5 and is now in grade 6, her final year of the Elementary program. If you ask her for feedback about the school, there are only positive things.
She has a deep sense of belonging and close bonding with her classmates and teachers. The school fosters a safe, positive and supportive environment, which builds her confidence. She feels safe to speak up and be herself while not afraid of being judged. In addition to academic excellence, the school also focuses on character building. We appreciate the amazing teachers and dedicated principal who have inspired our daughter to have a positive attitude in learning and be a better citizen. She is well-prepared when she moves on to her next chapter.
My children spent most of their childhood at Trinity Montessori School. They loved the field trips especially those to Ottawa and New York City. They loved the small size class. They would share their stories with me even in the car driving home. They loved their uniform! And were very proud of wearing that. They loved their snack and lunchtimes. And especially pizza days. They loved the library hours where they could pick their own books. I remember they had a yoga class. My kids would come home and show me the tree pose! I don’t think they ever come home with any disappointments. Overall, it’s very close to a perfect experience there. I never have any doubts about this school. My kids were very well taken care of.
Both of our daughters have been going to Trinity Montessori School since they were 18 months old, and both of them have developed a true love for learning. Over the years, we have witnessed their growth socially, intellectually and physically, and I attribute a large part of that to the positive learning environment that the school has created. My older daughter entered her toddler class as a shy little girl who was very hesitant to learn new things, and she graduated as a confident young lady with a supportive group of friends. We especially appreciate that the school encourages the students to develop not only intellectually, but also through play, social events and being in touch with our community. Overall, our experience at Trinity Montessori School has been extremely positive.
