ELEMENTARY - Grades 1 to 8
Our Mission:
Wishing Well Elementary School promotes character, citizenship and academic excellence. Advanced curriculum, small class sizes, technology rich learning and extensive extra-curricular programs prepare our students to meet the future with success.
Welcome to Wishing Well Elementary School, where our dedication to individual student success is evident through a culture of high standards and expectations. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our enriched learning environment, where students are taught one grade level ahead, aligning with the Ontario Curriculum guidelines. Your child will experience an education that surpasses Ontario Ministry of Education standards, as evidenced by our outstanding results in CAT 4 standardized testing.
Embracing the demands of the 21st century, we equip every classroom with cutting-edge educational tools, including Apple TVs, Chromebooks, 1:1 iPads, Spheros, 3D printing, microbits, and 3D pens. At all grade levels, engaging lessons utilize these technologies to enhance research, writing, creativity, and critical thinking skills.
A standout feature of our enriched curriculum is the Design and Technology program, which integrates design thinking and STEAM principles. This program offers units on food technology, architecture, textiles, fashion design, robotics, and engineering. For instance, in one design project, students apply design thinking methodologies to research and redesign the blueprints of a naval ship from any era. They then bring their designs to life through scale models created using various components, including 3D-printed pieces.
Highlighting the school year are our ski trips and out-of-town trips, including bi-annual visits to Quiet Waters, an exclusive outdoor education facility for Wishing Well Schools and Fairview Glen Montessori School. Outdoor education is integral for students to form lasting memories, build social skills, and extend their learning beyond traditional classroom confines.

Wishing Well Elementary provides a stimulating and challenging environment for our students. Graduating with a sense of citizenship, academic prowess for entry into competitive secondary school programs, and a profound joy for learning, our students embark on a journey that extends far beyond their academic career.
