  • Our maximum ratio is always 5:1 (5 students to 1 teacher). Each individual who attends Quintilian School will benefit from very small group and one-to-one instruction.

    Each classroom has a maximum of 10 students with one teacher (OCT), a Child and Youth Worker. In addition, there are often volunteers or placement students in the classroom making the ratio even smaller.

  • Quintilian School accepts students who are going into Grade 2 and are able to manage themselves in a classroom without 1 on 1 supervision.

    Our students who have completed Grade 8 are welcome to stay for an extra year if the staff and their families feel that it is appropriate.

  • Often children with learning differences are bullied or isolated because of their challenges.

    We have found the opposite occurs at Quintilian School, which is designed for their specific needs (no one is different). The emphasis is on strengths – not on difficulties. For many children, it is the first time they feel like they belong.

  • As an independent school, Quintilian does not receive any funding through tax dollars as schools of the Public and Catholic School Boards. Our programs are funded through tuition amounts.

    Tuition is $12,760* per year. Most families pay tuition in ten (10) installments of $1276 per year.

    *The tuition fees do not include the cost of field trips.

    Quintilian School also offers early drop-off and Homework Club for an extra fee of $200 per month.

  • It is Quintilian’s mission to meet the learning needs of every student. Our programming is guided by the Ontario curriculum, however, students are not rushed through the curriculum in order to fulfill grade-level expectations.

  • Often a student’s frustration with school work and learning may be displayed through outward negative behaviour. When students are appropriately challenged and given support and learning opportunities in our positive and safe environment it is typical for challenging behaviour to diminish.

    Should a student require additional behavioral support, Quintilian staff and administration works closely with the family to create a behavioral plan.

    If behaviour continues and is negatively impacting the classroom and school community, the school reserves the right to withdraw the student Quintilian.

  • No, Quintilian offers quality individual programming for all students regardless of a diagnosis.

    Quintilian also welcomes students who have been diagnosed with learning disabilities, non-verbal learning disabilities, anxiety disorders, autism spectrum disorders, and ADHD.
