Wellington Hall is a vibrant, independent PreK to Grade 8 school. We opened our doors in 1995 with the idea that a small school can create big opportunities for children. Small class size and a devotion to individual attention to student needs result in a warm, enjoyable learning experience for students.
Our Classroom – Classwork covers a broad academic curriculum, as well as music, drama, the arts, French as a second language, and physical education. Our academic program pushes our students to achieve levels that they never thought were possible. We also teach more than just academics at WHA; we teach new ways of thinking and approaching problems. Our small school provides much opportunity for learning to work with others and to develop leadership skills. Our diverse school community provides our students a broad perspective on living and learning with others.
Our Playground – An important aspect of our educational philosophy is engagement – both mental and physical. Our students are encouraged to play, self-discover, and explore their interests; they develop a strong desire to challenge themselves. This foundation combines to foster a love of learning and a contagious pursuit that has our students excited to come to school. And we know that movement and time in the outdoors is essential to good physical and mental health. Students spend ample times outdoors on the beautiful grounds of Ignatius Jesuit Centre, including two recesses per day, outdoor physical education, and nature walks.
