More About Us
The Giles School is an independent, non-profit, non-denominational, co-educational French immersion school in Toronto.
The Giles School (formerly The Markham School for Human Development) was founded in 1989 by Harry Giles, CM, QC a pioneer in bilingual French immersion in Canada and the founder of Toronto French School.
Our school was founded on the concept of early academic intervention within a bilingual setting. Our highly enriched French immersion academic programme, beginning in our preschool/daycare at age 2, gives Giles School students an education comparable to the best programmes in the world.
Unique to the Giles School is our enriched French immersion programme, which enables children with no previous French experience to read and write in French by the end of Grade 1.
The Giles School is the only school in Canada to offer all of the following:
- French immersion at the Pre-K level
- Introduction of a third language (Mandarin) in Grade 1
- Maximum class size of 16 students or less, depending on grade level
- Acceptance of students on a first-come, first-served basis
- Emphasis on a family environment as one of its educational pillars
The Giles School adheres to a first-come, first-served admissions philosophy. We do not pre-screen children entering our school from the Preschool level through Grade 1 on the basis of standardized tests or any other form of evaluation. We believe that when children in the early years are placed in a highly stimulating academic environment infused throughout with strong emotional sustenance, they will thrive.
