In our micro-school in Ottawa, we nurture students’ strengths and exceptionalities, helping them grow into confident, capable individuals ready to question, learn, act, and succeed.
Private School Bells Corners, ON -
Helping Students Build
Academic Excellence
and Confidence
AcadeCap International School welcomes families from Bells Corners to its Ottawa campus. Our micro-school combines the Ontario curriculum with small class sizes and personalized attention. Students receive the guidance they need to build strong academics and work with greater independence.
Families seeking a private school Bells Corners students can attend can explore our approach to education.
Small Class Size
Small classes allow teachers to identify gaps early and adjust instruction as students work. Once understanding is secure, the student can move forward with confidence.
Learning How to Learn
Educators help students recognize how they learn and when to ask for support. With practice, they begin choosing useful strategies for themselves.
Post Secondary Connection
AcadeCap follows the Ontario curriculum and provides a pathway to the Ontario Secondary School Diploma. Students develop the skills and responsibility needed for life after high school.
Families comparing schools are welcome to discuss their child’s goals with us.
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.
D.S.

September 17, 2026
There’s no better way to begin the school year than gathering together in the school yard. Each fall, AcadeCap families, students, and teachers come together for our annual Community Corn Roast, welcoming both returning families and those who are new to our school community.
Students help shuck the corn while families and staff gather for a casual meal with delicious sides, conversation, and plenty of opportunities to get to know one another.
It’s a simple tradition that reflects what we value at AcadeCap: community and connection.

- Orange Shirt Day
As part of our school-wide recognition of Truth and Reconciliation, students across all ages reflected on the history and ongoing impact of residential schools in Canada. Through guided discussions and shared learning, they explored the importance of honouring the children who were taken from their families, the resilience of Indigenous communities, and our collective responsibility to seek truth, healing, and justice.
Inspired by the teachings of butterflies, sunflowers, and hummingbirds, students created artwork representing transformation, remembrance, and resilience. These natural symbols carry both ecological importance and deep Indigenous significance, reminding us to face the past with truth and move forward with hope.

AcadeCap - What Sets our Private School in Ottawa Apart
Teachers know each student’s work in detail, giving them a reliable view of the child’s progress throughout the year. Their observations shape daily instruction and keep expectations appropriate at each stage of development. The academy’s programs encourage students to take greater ownership of their education while building the judgement needed to become confident, well-rounded individuals.
Individualized Learning
Every student begins from a different point. Teachers respond to current understanding, addressing difficulties early and introducing more advanced work when the foundation is secure. Within this supportive environment, learners have time to develop their strengths and work toward their full potential.
Competency-Based Curricula
Essential skills receive the time they require. Students revisit key concepts until they can apply them consistently across subjects, including English and science. This focus on mastery gives new learning a firm base and prepares students to succeed as the work becomes more complex.
Learning Community
A clear and familiar rhythm helps students approach each school day with confidence. They understand what is expected and feel comfortable speaking with an educator when questions arise. This sense of trust supports participation and gives students room to grow within the wider school community.
Expert Educators
Evidence guides instruction. Teachers adjust their approach according to what a student’s work reveals, ensuring that support remains relevant from Junior Kindergarten through Grade 12. Their experience helps each learner build the independence required for lasting academic success.
Extended Learning
Learning gains relevance when students can use it beyond a lesson. AcadeCap’s extended learning programs create opportunities to explore the arts, technology and physical activity through clubs or curriculum-connected outings. These experiences allow students of different ages to follow their curiosity and develop creativity in new ways.
Third Teacher Environment
The arrangement of classrooms and shared facilities affects how students concentrate. AcadeCap’s learning spaces are designed to support purposeful movement while helping learners remain settled and engaged. Families who would like to see the campus can contact AcadeCap to request a visit and get started today.
