It's a lifelong journey with friends Oakville's Original Montessori Your Natural Choice Since 1968 Engage at Linbrook Linbrook School, a new, not-forprofit, independent day school for boys in JK to Grade 8 is a welcome addition to Oakville's private school sector. Within the last year, the school's student population has already doubled; with a current enrolment of 130 boys and a cap of 180, the school is expected to reach capacity by the fall of 2016. Situated across the street from St. Mildred's-Lightbourn School, Oakville's independent girls' school, the boys' school sits on an expansive and beautifully forested property in the heart of Old Oakville. The historic building underwent an extensive renovation last summer, and the interior now offers bright and modern learning spaces that are equipped with the latest in educational technology. An inspiring environment: Linbrook's program has been designed to reflect the latest research in boys' education and offer its students an exceptional learning experience in a fun and inspiring environment. Professionally trained, experienced and passionate educators inspire their students' natural love of learning through the use of movement, humour and hands-on learning. Experts in the field of boys' education have enjoyed the opportunity to work with Linbrook's dynamic staff and enthusiastic parent community. An array of programs: Linbrook staff believe important learning takes place both inside and outside the classroom walls; so, in addition to providing a strong academic focus, students have ample opportunities during the school day to engage in intramural sports, artistic pursuits, 1:1 music lessons, choir, public speaking and community awareness programs. In addition to reaping the benefits of six physical education periods per six-day cycle and the school's active role in the Private School Athletic Association, a diverse array of extra-curricular events are also offered to students. An exceptional school: Amber Way, Head of School, speaks proudly of her staff and students. "It is truly a pleasure to work in an environment that exudes positive energy and feels like home. Everyone at Linbrook works together to create an exceptional environment that is based on compassion, respect and shared goals."
