The Gooderham Estate Campus is located in the historic Meadowvale Village in Mississauga bordering the Credit Valley Conservation Area. This campus provides a bright, welcoming Montessori environment for students in their formative years (2.5 - 6 years old). The sense of community achieved in the Casa classroom gives each child a heightened sense of respect for their peers and most importantly, respect for themselves. Our program from Casa to Grade 3 is firmly rooted in Montessori principles. The Montessori philosophy involves a hands-on approach to learning. The attractive Montessori materials in our classrooms are designed for a specific purpose to allow the student to learn abstract concepts concretely. The teachers guide each student, engaging and creating an environment that encourages the students to love learning.
Our junior and intermediate grades 4 to 8 incorporate 21st Century learning skills. Teachers guide students to think collaborative, critically, creatively and using positive communication. Engagement in learning is created by student driven authentic learning tasks. The low student to teacher ratio gives the teacher opportunity to give large and small group instruction that suits the individual needs of the classroom.
Rotherglen incorporates the Ontario curriculum with many other programs to give students a unique and challenging curriculum.
