Chestnut Woods School of Montessori Education (CWS) is a co-educational, non-denominational, private school serving the children and community of St. Catharines and the Niagara Region. We offer an educational approach, known as the Montessori Method, that provides a hands-on, experiential approach with an emphasis on independent learning. Chestnut Woods School of Montessori Education is registered with the Ontario Ministry of Education and maintains Ontario Student Records (OSRs). CWS provides a safe, rich and caring environment for children ages two and a half through nine. Our specialized, accredited teachers are passionate about guiding the learning experiences of the students by challenging their intellect, body and spirit. Class sizes are small to maximize student and teacher interaction. We inspire and motivate in a community spirited environment.
