Lauremont School

What Lauremont School does

Lauremont School is a private, non-profit independent day school located in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada, operating two campuses: a Lower School at 8569 Bayview Avenue serving Montessori programs from Toddler (18 months) through Grade 6, and an Upper School at 500 Elgin Mills Road East offering the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (Grades 7-10) and Diploma Programme (Grades 11-12). Founded in 1961 as Toronto Montessori Schools and rebranded to Lauremont School during the Class of 2024 graduation, the school delivers a continuous Montessori-to-IB pedagogical pathway built around four pillars: academics, arts, athletics, and citizenship. Dual credentials (Ontario Secondary School Diploma and IB Diploma) and reported outcomes including a 93% IB pass rate and 32-point average above the 30.5 world average anchor its university-prep positioning, with graduates accepted at institutions including McGill, Toronto, Waterloo, NYU, and Berkeley.

The school's product surface extends beyond core academics into a broad co-curricular and extracurricular portfolio: the Lauremont Schulich Experience (a Grades 9-10 social entrepreneurship immersion with Schulich ExecEd and YSpace at York University), The STEAM Project partnership delivering robotics and maker programs for Grades 7-9, the Duke of Edinburgh Award Program, international field trips, and Lower School after-school programming in chess, drama, robotics, martial arts, and arts. Support services include Aramark and Real Food for Real Kids dining, extended before/after care, guidance and counseling, learning strategies, and a Nests and Houses community system.

The revenue model is tuition-driven and recurring, supplemented by extended care and extracurricular fees, plus annual fundraising events (Titan Gala, Titan Golf Open, Holiday Marketplace). The school markets through its website, Instagram (@lauremontschool), open houses, the Speaker Series, and the Women in Leadership Forum, and is accredited by the International Baccalaureate Organization, CCMA, CAIS, and CIS Ontario.

• Branksome Hall: Independent girls' school (Grades JK-12) in downtown Toronto offering IB Diploma. Comparable premium tuition and IB outcomes trajectory, with broader scale, RIB boarding and downtown location that make it a broad incumbent peer for Lauremont families.
• Havergal College: Toronto independent girls' school (JK-12) with established reputation. Comparable in capturing affluent GTA families seeking premium private education, but operates at a larger scale and broader brand footprint.
• Bishop Strachan School: Toronto independent girls' school (JK-12) offering IB DP. Comparable in the premium GTA independent school segment with documented strong university placement, competing for the same affluent families.
• St. Andrew's College: Independent boys' school (Grades 5-12) in Aurora, Ontario offering boarding. Comparable affluent GTA family catchment and premium positioning, with deeper boarding and athletic infrastructure.
• Upper Canada College: One of Canada's oldest and most established independent boys' schools (Grades SK-12) in Toronto. Comparable premium positioning and IB alumni outcomes, but much larger scale and broader brand, placing it as a broad incumbent in the GTA private K-12 market.
• Crescent School: Independent boys' school (Grades 3-12) in Toronto with strong academic outcomes. Comparable premium positioning and GTA catchment; operates as a broader incumbent with a longer-established brand.
• Pickering College: Independent co-educational school (Grades 7-12) in Newmarket, Ontario with boarding. Comparable premium positioning and GTA-region catchment, operating as a broader incumbent with longer-tenured branding.

Direct peers
