WELCOME TO
Wellington Hall Academy
We are a private school serving the families of Guelph and surrounding communities. We maintain a very low student-to-teacher ratio so that each child can receive the attention they need to truly learn and believe in themselves. No two children learn the same, so our teachers have a flexible approach that harnesses the strengths within each student.
We know every student can succeed. And we know that a small school and small classes can create big opportunity.
How our school can benefit your child
A smaller school can create BIG opportunities
Maximum class size of 16 for grades 1-8, and 12 for kindergarten – teachers can address each student’s strengths and needs
A program that provides students with a strong foundation in all core subjects through our experiential, hands-on curriculum
High-quality visual and performing arts, French, and STEM – all starting in kindergarten
Teaching with a growth mindset – each student works at their own level and has their own individual goals and successes
Encouragement of critical thinking, leadership, and emotional regulation
Ample outdoor time
A safe environment – we do not tolerate bullying
Taking a school tour is the best way to see what it’s really like to be a WHA student and parent.
CORE ACADEMICS
Wellington Hall Academy is a private PreK-Grade 8 school. We follow and go beyond the Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum. Our primary focus is to ensure that each child has a strong foundation in language, mathematics, science, technology, French, and social sciences.
ARTS
We believe that studying the arts and fostering creative expression is essential in the education of young people. We ensure that each child has a strong foundation in basic skills, but we also provide arts instruction and opportunities that go far beyond that found in typical K-8 schools. Our art, music, dance, and drama teachers are highly skilled and experienced, and instruction in these areas is of a very high quality. Every spring, the school produces a full-scale musical theatre production at Guelph Little Theatre. View this year’s production.
STEM AND OUTDOOR EDUCATION
Our current global experiences clearly demonstrate the need for education that fosters the critical thinking, creativity, hands-on skills, and resilience of our youngest citizens. Students at WHA will receive a strong foundation in the fundamental sciences through classroom and experiential learning, as well as a focus on ecological sciences and environmental stewardship.
