Montessori Education combined with Outdoor and Experiential Learning for Grades 1 to 6 located in Guelph, Ontario.

The personalized attention my child receives fosters a deep sense of belonging and allows them to flourish academically.
— A.K, Proud Member of our School Family
The transformation we have seen in our child’s confidence and well-being is remarkable.
The low student-to-teacher ratio allows for the educators at this school to truly tend to each child’s unique abilities and learning styles, and the Montessori approach has allowed our child to work at her own ability level, ensuring she isn’t missing out on any fundamental skills

Welcome to Planted Seed Montessori School!

We are a small private school focused on combining the principles of Montessori education with outdoor and experiential learning to spark your child's curiosity. Our passionate educators are here to foster independence through self-directed learning, creativity, and a genuine love for learning. We believe strongly in community involvement, which we feel enhances the learning experience and brings a vibrant, inclusive spirit to our school. Our curriculum covers a broad range of subjects, all taught in a hands-on, experiential way, making use of the great outdoors whenever possible.

Ignite your child's curiosity!

We believe in providing a holistic path to alternative education that combines the principles of Montessori philosophy with outdoor and experiential learning. Through hands-on exploration in nature, our students develop a deep connection with the environment and cultivate a sense of wonder and curiosity.

Whether it's conducting science experiments or observing wildlife, our students develop a strong connection with the natural world while honing their academic skills. Our Montessori school embraces the power of outdoor and experiential learning to provide a well-rounded education.
