Wellington Hall Academy is a private K-8 educational facility, with an extended program for grades 9 – 10. The school’s curriculum is based on and goes beyond the guidelines established the Ontario Ministry of Education. Our primary focus is to ensure that each child has a strong foundation in language, mathematics, science, technology, French, and social sciences. We also provide after-school care.

In these unprecedented time we have fully integrate online learning into our daily curriculum and will continue to do so into the 2020-2021 school year when required. As we follow provincial guidelines regarding school closures, we’ll be ready to quickly and seamlessly move between in-class and online learning.

Children age 3 and up are eligible to join our kindergarten. Introduction to school and the educational process should be a positive and exciting time. Wellington Hall Academy promotes discovery and exploration through its theme-based and activity-centered program.

After-School Study Hall

At Wellington Hall, students can transition to study hall after school is dismissed, to continue quiet homework and reading time under the care and supervision of our after-school staff. This offers parents the option to pick up their child later if necessary. 

At 5:00 p.m., these students have something that many don’t – free time! Study hall is available at Wellington Hall Academy on a pay-for-service basis Monday to Friday, and it can be arranged by standing arrangement or on short notice.

Special Programs

High-Quality 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 skilled and experienced, and instruction in these areas is of a very high quality.

Sciences

Students at WHA will receive a strong foundation in the fundamental sciences, as well as engineering and technology – through a hands-on program. Emphasis is also placed on environmental issues and stewardship,  global food supply, and agriculture. This program is integrated across all grades.
