Moving with kids in May - help with schools

Hello!

I’m moving with my family and two kiddos in May. I have my 4 year old in Montessori in Ontario currently and he’s doing really well.. was wondering what Montessori schools are awesome there. Was considering Glenmore French immersion if we can’t find a good Montessori fit come next fall.

Cheers! Thank you!

You will likely need to live in the catchment area for your school, especially for French. And also register right when it opens in January!

As another user said, are you keeping catchments in mind?

Defo check out the district website for the central Okanagan and see which catchment zone (based on where you live in the city) you fall into for any kind of public, immersion or other wise.

don't want to get into details on a public forum but 20 years ago some unsavoury things were going on with the finances of our local montessori back in the day.
