Montcrest School

Montcrest School is a progressive JK - Grade 8 school, founded in 1961, and located at Broadview and Danforth in Toronto. We are a vibrant school community with a rich history, and are in the midst of dynamic changes, including the completion of the largest ever campus renovation, as part of fulfilling our visionary strategic plan. Our campus overlooks Riverdale Park which has just undergone a major renovation. The campus and park in combination provide excellent indoor and outdoor teaching and learning spaces uniquely nestled in the heart of Toronto.Throughout our school you will see a commitment to a student-centred experience, a growth mindset, and the honouring of each child. Montcrest inspires a love of learning and fosters each child’s intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, creativity, and social/emotional development. Observers in our classrooms will notice innovative approaches to teaching and learning – students engaged in their own learning individually and in groups, and teachers collaborating in cross-curricular lessons. Students also have the opportunity to participate in clubs ranging from outdoor cooking to robotics, competitive and intramural athletics, and a wide range of performing arts. We believe that it is important for our students to participate in the community as well, both as learners and as contributing members of our society. Trips like our Battlefields trip to Europe, our choirs competing in international music festivals, as well as community outreach in our local area keep our students connected to the world around them. Students engage in a broad range of leadership activities within the school and in our clubs. Visitors to our school immediately feel the passion our faculty and staff have for creating a learning environment that challenges and nurtures a wide range of learners. We are committed to our own professional growth.
