High Park Centennial

High Park Centennial Montessori School, established in 1967, advocates excellence in active learning through a hands-on approach. HPCMS fosters life-long learning driven by high standards, insatiable curiosity and the will to succeed in life.

With excellence in academics, commitment and individual enrichment as our aims, our students are nurtured to become leaders in a safe school environment as well as in the community at large. Our children learn confidence, commitment and integrity as they journey on the road to independence. Empowering our children aged 2 ½ to 12, HPCMS graduates are accepted at the finest schools upon graduation. Our children show promise taking on the challenges of life, no matter where their paths lead them.
