Private Schools

Private school is an alternative to Canada's publicly funded school system. If you do choose to school your children privately, London and Middlesex County have many excellent options: Some schools are rooted in religious traditions, while others provide intensive academic experiences, follow a specific teaching method or cater to specific populations.

Overall, private schools are prized for their commitment to academic excellence. Many claim that a strong curriculum and small class size results in high-quality education with individualized attention for all students.

Private schools are not funded through public tax dollars. Tuition fees range from $3,000 to $11,000 annually. Many schools offer on-campus residence for students from other cities or countries. Fees can be as much as $10,000 per year. International students often pay an additional fee. Most private schools require students to wear a school uniform.

Private schools provide a complete academic curriculum that meets the Ontario Ministry of Education standards. Private schools promise to give your child a quality education and a fantastic head start on the future.
