Founded in 1958, Whitby School’s student-driven program inspires children 18 months-Grade 8 to ask big questions, take action beyond the classroom, and masterfully prepares students to excel in high school, college and their future careers.

Whitby students grow to be empathetic leaders who bring out the best in themselves and others. Student, parents and teachers at Whitby are proud to share their multiple cultures, experiences, and languages with one another. We know what matters most is open-mindedness, compassion, resilience, and the impact we as individuals, have together on the community.

As the first school in America to combine IB and Montessori within an early education program, and the longest running Montessori school in the United States, Whitby's educational approach is a response to what the world needs now more than ever. Whitby amplifies traditional subjects to make learning more meaningful for students, and intentionally connects different disciplines as a way to elevate learning to a more conceptual level. As a result, students excel and enjoy the process along the way.
