Sunrise Montessori School is proud to be part of the history of private schools in Markham which have contributed significantly to educational choice in our community. Smaller class sizes, access to individualized attention, and parent involvement are features that attract students, parents, and teachers to private education. As well, private schools can offer unique programs based on religious, philosophical, and educational approaches.
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Sunrise Montessori School used a method of education that has been refined and enhanced for over 70 years. Through dedication to developing a love for lifelong learning, our school continues to be one of the leading Montessori schools within the Markham area. Its longevity may be explained in no small measure by the confidence and trust placed in its programs and directed by two generations of parents of young children in the York Region districts.
