Our daughter Samantha has been attending Northstar Montessorri for 5 years. Northstar has been an enormously positive experience on Samantha's education and is largely responsible for her love of learning. Northstar not only emphasizes academic performance but also social interaction, with a strong sense of community. Samantha's personality and perception of those around her have been profoundly influenced by the Montessorri teaching method. Northstar has allowed Samantha to learn and grow to her full potential and I absolutely recommend without reservation, Northstar Montessori for anyone looking for a first class education for their child.

What is more important for parents than a good learning institute for their young ones, and we consider our self extremely lucky to have found Northstar Montessori School for our son Mikail. The great thing about this learning institute is its amazing staff who is always keen and genuinely interested in providing their best care to the kids around. They really treat our kids as their kids. We as parents believe that Northstar is blessed with loving, caring and outstanding group of people who love what they do and this is what makes us feel so good about the whole experience. Thank you to each and every person associated with this exemplary institute in helping groom our kid's future and most importantly the future of our dear homeland Canada!

We have really loved having Marcus at Northstar. All of the staff have been welcoming, supportive and encouraging to Marcus, which is so important for us. We have seen him grow and develop into a young boy we are both very proud of. He speaks very highly of his teachers, who have all made a big impact on him and his progression over the last 1.5 years.
We would recommend Northstar for any family looking for a school they can feel confident having their child at.
...Thanks, Emily
Tomorrow (Feb-27-2014) is our daughter Diya Swaroop's ( CASA 3) last day at Northstar. We are temporarily relocating to Amsterdam, Netherlands for a job assignment.
Northstar is Diya's first school experience or rather first time outside of our care. Although she attended school for just 6 months, it has been fun learning experience for her. We would like to thank each one of you for contributing to her emotional , cultural and academic growth and overall making it a positive and enriching journey for her. She walked into the school on the first day with lots of excitement and a big smile on her face and continued to do that every single day she attended school after that.
Special thanks to Mrs.Shah, Mrs.Scott & Ms Resendes for all your love, patience and support in guiding her in the right direction and making her first school experience an extremely positive one.
Our best wishes to the school and each one of you for your future endeavours.
We will miss Northstar Montessori School.
Warm Regards,
...Vidhya & Swaroop

To: Northstar MontessoriGood Evening Mrs. Ramirez,
I hope that all is well with you and your family. I just wanted to extend my thanks and gratitude for the education that Northstar Montessori provided me with, as well as the preparation that I received prior to going to the school I graduated from this past June.
The school I attended following Northstar, from Grade 7 to Grade 12, is called Holy Name of Mary College School (HNMCS). Throughout my years at HNMCS, I maintained an average of 80% and higher. In other words, I was on the Honour Roll every year, which I believe is as a result of my primary education from Northstar.
In a respect of my marks, community service, and extra curricular activities, I was accepted to all four universities that I applied to (all with entrance scholarships). I applied to: Laurier, Western, McMaster, and Guelph. I will be attending the University of Guelph in September. The program that I applied to is: "Criminal Justice and Public Policy". After my four years, I would be receiving a Bachelor of Arts from completion of this program. My hope is to eventually have a career in law, specializing in child advocacy.
Moreover, I found that the education I received at Northstar to be very fulfilling. I always enjoy sharing my experience from my northstar days with my family, friends, and classmates. When asked about my experiences at Northstar Montessori, I'm one to recommend all that it has to offer.
Many of the skills and lessons, that I learned at Northstar Montessori, have been instrumental in my development as a young lady. Whether it be: cursive writing, social skills, independent studies, the value of community, or virtues found in The Virtue Tree and lessons learned from The Northstar Pledge.
Furthermore, as the Grade 6 Valedictorian of Northstar, I feel proud and privileged to have represented the school then and now. I will always remember the wonderful people I met, like you, and the lessons I learned at Northstar Montessori. Please extend my best wishes to the staff, faculty, and supporters. Don't hesitate to stay in touch.
Much Appreciated,
Aleeyah Samuels
