Ottawa Micro-School -
Empowering Agency and
Growth Mindset,
Unleashing Potential
Small Class Size
As a micro-school with small classes, our low student-to-teacher ratio allows for differentiated instruction and deeper relationships. Students are seen, heard, and known. They matter.
Learning How to Learn
Cultivating the habits and skills that fuel lifelong learning. Curiosity, reflection, and the ability to navigate complex problems ethically; these are the 21st-century competencies for studies, work, and life in an everchanging world.
Post Secondary Connection
Admittance to programmes and universities, colleges of choice with scholarships via mastery of OSSD course content. More importantly, graduates leave us with a clear sense of who they are as learners.
I will always be grateful for the amazing educational years C. SM. had with your fantastic educational team. Her dedication for higher education, her strive to always do her best, her inquisitive mind and love of learning comes from the strong foundation taught to her by you and your teachers.

- Unique Benefits
AcadeCap - What Sets our Ottawa Private School Apart
Individualized Learning
We shape our approach around each student’s exceptionality, so they can grow in ways that feel both supported and self-driven. Guided by each child’s progress, differentiated learning experiences equip our students with all the tools they need to reach their full potential.
Competency-Based Curricula
Grounded in research and guided by educational theory, our forward-looking programs help students build the skills and understanding required to confidently pursue post-secondary study and future opportunities.
Learning Community
An environment where students, parents, educators and the local community work together, support each other, and learn. Our shared commitment to growth fosters a culture where curiosity is valued, and current students feel supported throughout the school year.
Expert Educators
Our educators, each experts in their field, educate students for success now and in the future, preparing them to grow into well-rounded individuals and responsible global citizens.
Extended Learning
Through a variety of clubs, field trips, seasonal camps, and co-curriculars, learning extends well beyond the classroom—supporting balanced development and cultivating real-world competencies.
Third Teacher Environment
A blend of open collaborative spaces and smaller classrooms supports both focused learning and group engagement. Access to nature trails, a large sports field, and a generously wooded yard encourages healthy, active living.
