Independent private schools are “independent” because they have distinct educational missions, are independently governed or managed, and are supported by tuition payments, charitable contributions or endowment revenue rather than by public taxes. All OIS schools are registered with the Ontario Ministry of Education. In addition there are various inspection and accreditation bodies that schools may be members of or affiliated with. They share a commitment to serve their community by providing an innovative educational environment that inspires excellence and nurtures the joy of learning in children.
Oakville offers extensive educational choices as we have one of the largest groups of independent private schools in Canada. Each OIS school has a distinct educational approach and mission, as well as their own admission procedures and schedules. We encourage you to contact your school(s) of choice directly for the appropriate information.
