A Prestigious Small School Experience​

Delano Academy is an elite, coeducational, and non-denominational private school that nurtures students from preschool through Grade 4 in a beautifully designed, boutique school-house environment. Our school offers a warm, community-driven culture where every child is seen, supported, and celebrated.

​

We Are Very Different​​

We are a progressive, inclusive, non-denominational community and independent school. We have strong social roots that provide our students with respect, appreciation, support, courtesy, and encouragement. This, in turn, fosters character traits that help our students become confident and independent citizens with a sense of leadership and genuine respect for their community and the world they live in.

The Delano Difference

We are a small school for the discerning parent who expects a strong education for their child—without compromising expectations. We are a school for students who desire to be treated with respect and dignity, and who are encouraged to reach their fullest potential. We critically assess student ability and create a careful plan to build confidence, curiosity, collaboration, and character competency.

Delano is a unique, student-centred school that values balance in athletics, arts, academics, S.T.E.A.M., and community. We firmly believe in educating the whole child. From academics to athletics, the arts, emotional support, and global learning experiences, our students are encouraged to be worldly, reflective, and appreciative citizens.

Our Curriculum Is Powerful

We take the Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum expectations as the foundation of our academic program. Our PREP school follows Montessori teaching methods, delivered by certified Montessori educators. Our elementary students are taught by certified Ontario teachers who also hold IB certification.

We enrich this foundation with the International Baccalaureate (IB) framework and emphasize Growing Success and 21st-century teaching best practices. We are deeply committed to excellence in teaching—and it is our methodology that truly sets Delano apart.

Modern Schoolhouse Campus

Our North Maple campus is a bright, modern, state-of-the-art schoolhouse. This progressive environment is designed to equip students with the 21st-century literacies they need, while providing an enriched and well-balanced school experience.
