Kanata Montessori is a not-for-profit independent school with three campuses: the North Campus, the Main Campus, and the High School Campus.

North Campus: Offers the Toddler program (18 months to 3 years old) and the Casa program (3 to 5 years old).
Main Campus: Offers Toddler, Casa, and Elementary programs for students from 18 months to Grade 6.
High School Campus: Hosts students from Grade 7 to Grade 12.

The registration process begins in February of each year to start the new school year in September.

Applying for our Toddler or Casa programs (18 months to 5 years old)

The application process for the Toddler and Casa programs is the same; however, you must select the specific campus (or both campuses) when registering for the City of Ottawa Child Care Registry and Waitlist.

As part of the Toddler/Casa application process to Kanata Montessori, we kindly ask all families to please also complete the Toddler/Casa Expression of Interest for the 2025-2026 school year (one per child) to tell us a bit more about your child and why you are interested in a Montessori education.

Please note: The Toddler program is a 12-month program (September to August), and the Casa program is a 10-month program (September to June). Completing the application does not guarantee a placement in the Toddler/Casa program. Please do not send any deposit until you are contacted and offered acceptance. Once we review our updated waiting list, we will reach out to families to advise if we have any upcoming spaces available in the Toddler/Casa program and begin the registration process.

Apply for our Elementary or High School programs (Grades 1 to 12)

The application for the Elementary and High School programs may be submitted through an online link below.
