The Oakville Independent Schools (OIS) represent 11 independent private schools including elementary, secondary, Montessori, IB World, traditional, religious-based, boarding, single gender and co-educational schools. The member schools share a commitment to educational excellence in safe, supportive environments and emphasize the development of life-long values. The purpose of this resource is to provide a gateway for parents seeking outstanding private/independent education choices for their children in the Oakville area. As you navigate through our website you will find important and useful information outlining the highlights and benefits of an independent school education. We have provided direct links to each school website represented through the OIS and invite you to explore the exceptional educational choices available to your child. On each of the member sites you will find extensive information about each school. We welcome you to contact the schools that interest you for a personal appointment.
The Oakville Independent Schools offer a wide-range of educational choices for your child. A great school is waiting for you and we are confident you will find the right educational path best suited for your child.
The best way to learn about each school is to attend an open house. This is a great way to get a feel for the school, meet administrators, teachers, students and other parents. We encourage you to join us during a joint open house to see first-hand the education possibilities for your child.
