The Montessori School of Elora was established in 2002 by Association Montessori Internationale (AMI)-trained teachers. The school, located in the historic Elora Centre for the Arts building on Melville Street, offers both primary and elementary programs. The primary program, for children 3½ to 6 years old, is available as full or half days. The Montessori School of Elora is dedicated to maintaining AMI standards and providing a high-quality Montessori education. Our goal is to help children reach their full potential in all areas of study in an environment that enables them to develop at their own pace and according to their own abilities. We believe that school should be a positive experience, where children gain confidence, become independent learners and, above all, find joy in learning.
Elora is a community in the township of Centre Wellington. It is well known for its 19th-century limestone architecture and the geographically significant Elora Gorge. Some of the limestone cliffs are 80 feet high. At the eastern end of the village is the Elora Quarry Conservation Area, a scenic former limestone quarry, and is now a popular swimming area. Elora has many small shops, pubs, cafés, restaurants and art galleries. These are often in buildings built during the mid 19th century.
