For nearly four decades, Edge Hill has offered children an education that honours the fullness of childhood. Situated on rolling countryside of rolling countryside in Grey County, our school is a place where learning unfolds through story, song, movement, and the rhythms of the natural world.
Our Waldorf-inspired curriculum develops intellectual clarity, emotional depth, and practical skill — preparing children not just for the next grade, but for life.
Discover Our Story
Every subject is taught through an artistic lens — from wet-on-wet watercolour in the sciences to rhythmic movement in mathematics. Art is not an add-on; it is the medium through which understanding deepens and takes root.
Our campus is the foundation of learning. Students tend gardens, walk forest trails, observe wildlife, and develop a lasting relationship with the land across all four seasons.
Families, teachers, and students form a close-knit community bound by shared values. Seasonal festivals, parent evenings, and collaborative governance create bonds that extend far beyond the classroom.
Each stage of our curriculum is designed to meet children where they are developmentally — from imaginative play to independent thinking.
Play-based learning in a warm, home-like setting. Storytelling, baking, nature walks, and creative play build the foundation for all future learning.
Letters born from stories, numbers through rhythm, and the world explored through wonder. Main lesson books replace textbooks as children create their own.
Local geography, Canadian history, botany, and zoology broaden the horizon. Practical skills in woodwork, knitting, and handcrafts ground the growing intellect.
Chemistry, physics, and world history engage the awakening intellect. Students lead projects, debate ideas, and prepare thoughtfully for their transition ahead.
Nestled in Grey County’s rolling hills, our campus is where learning comes alive through every season.
