Learning is Different Here

Small class sizes allow us to teach to the individual and create independent thinkers.
Students feel comfortable right from the beginning, which helps foster their love of learning.

School Environment

SMYS consciously creates opportunities for students to interact across all grade levels in a safe and caring environment. Our students love how it feels to push themselves to the limit and unite as a team and a community.

Welcome to

Stratford Middle Years

Here at SMYS, we believe that curiosity is what drives a students learning. Our approach to learning is to build and harness that curiosity through experiential education. We provide an environment that promotes community, confidence and personal growth. We want our students to strive to be creative and responsible global citizens.

Experiential Learning

The most effective type of learning is multi-sensory and multi-disciplinary. Our curriculum goes outside the classroom and looks at real world situations..

Stratford Middle years

Our location is at the Falstaff Family Centre in Stratford, Ontario. The focus of our classrooms is to provide a well-rounded education that inspires all children to be inquisitive and work to their individual, full potential. We aim to give Kindergarten and Grades 1 to 3 children a solid foundation for all their academic education and we hope to instill a joy for learning in them. In Grades 4 to 6 we tap into the children's love for learning and strengthen their confidence and self-esteem. We strive to ensure a smooth transition for Grade 7 & 8 students into secondary school.
