Meadow Creek Montessori

Redefining education one child at a time.

Why Meadow Creek?

At Meadow Creek, your child isn’t just another student here. They’re explorers, creators, and thinkers–and they deserve a learning environment that welcomes their curiosity and celebrates their discoveries.

MCM provides a thoughtfully designed and engaging environment that adheres to the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) Standards.

Our school is an Affiliate School with the Canadian Council of Montessori Administrators, CCMA, which allows us to participate in professional development, make connections with the greater Montessori community and promote the life-long benefits for every child of Montessori education in Canada.

Elementary at MCM

Our Shanty Bay and Orillia campuses offer a comprehensive Elementary Program for grades 1 to 8.

Our Philosophy

Respect and Autonomy

Every child is respected as an individual and encouraged to develop independently.

Low Teacher-to-Student Ratio

Our teachers work one-on-one with students to ensure they receive adequate attention and guidance.

Hands-on Learning

Using Montessori materials, students actively engage in self-discovery.

Adaptable Learning Paths

Students are encouraged to learn at their own pace, with our teachers acting as guides rather than lecturers.

Freedom within Limits

When a child is denied freedom, they require more external discipline. We allow our students to make choices within limits fostering self-discipline.

Collaboration

Students collaborate rather than compete. They discover how to embrace mistakes as part of learning.

Testimonials

“We are so happy we chose Meadow Creek Orillia. Our daughter loves going to school everyday and has so much to talk about when she gets home. Ms Geisler and Ms K are amazing educators who care deeply about their students.”

"We've been at this school since it was Keystone. Meadow Creek has done an incredible job updating the school. Our child is in Grade 2 loves it even more. Ms. Geisler is a wonderful, diligent, and caring teacher. We are very thankful that this school is in Orillia. We love the small class sizes and all the additional attention he gets. His reading, writing, and math are all way above his grade-age. He's truly thriving in a personal and stimulating educational environment. We also love that we get to speak to our child's teacher every day. We are constantly informed of what is going on. I fully recommend this school."

"Our daughter is in her 7th year with Meadow Creek Montessori. She started in Casa at The East and moved over to Shanty Bay when they started the Elementary program. We are so impressed with the education she is receiving and the friends she has made. The atmosphere at The Bay is always happy. The personal attention has been such a benefit for her as the teachers get to really know, care, and understand each child's needs. We could not be more pleased."

"Our son is in the casa program and has made great strides academically and personally. He’s able to self regulate a lot easier and is a lot happier overall. Our son enjoys going to school and likes his teachers. Communication is great with admin and the teachers. If you’re thinking of putting your child in Montessori I’d highly suggest looking at meadow creek Orillia."
