The school environment at Elite Montessori is conducive to learning and growing. It is expected that the students demonstrate respect for their peers, environment, and teachers.
Grace and Courtesy are important components of our programming. Integrity is an important characteristic to be fostered in each student.
Our school environment should always be a positive one for students. In cases where a student consciously and repeatedly rejects the guidelines set out by the school, the parents will be contacted and strategies will be developed to encourage positive behaviour. Should this fail to be effective, Elite Montessori School has the right to dismiss any student if he/she does not seem to be benefiting from the program and curriculum that we offer.

Our aim is to develop interesting and varied recipes that will be enjoyed by all students. The food will be prepared daily and will be delivered just before lunch, to guarantee freshness as well as a warm healthy lunch.
Students that are registered for the Before and After School Program are to bring their own nutritious snacks for this time. We encourage students to always eat healthy and recommend parents to provide healthy snacks.
