Who We Are

Founded in 1982, Mentor College is a leading private school in Mississauga offering the Ontario curriculum from Junior Kindergarten through university entrance. We group students by age and experience in three divisions - Primary, Intermediate, and High School - to deliver targeted instruction, strong foundational skills, and confident, capable graduates.

Mentor College is registered with the Ontario Ministry of Education, and our teaching staff is composed of experienced, credentialed educators selected for subject expertise, classroom experience, and a warm, student‑centered approach.

Why Mentor

• Established legacy (1982): Over four decades of academic excellence serving families across Mississauga and the GTA.
• JK–12 pathway: A seamless academic journey from Junior Kindergarten to university entrance.
• Ontario curriculum: Rigorous, Ministry‑aligned courses across all divisions.
• Expert faculty: Teachers with education degrees and subject specializations who combine caring mentorship with proven pedagogy. 

Our Academic Philosophy

At Mentor College, we believe small classes and close attention create the best learning outcomes. Our curriculum is designed to challenge, stimulate, and motivate students at every level.

• Small class sizes ensure meaningful participation, daily monitoring of progress, and individualized support.
• When students demonstrate proficiency, they receive advanced work and are encouraged to share ideas and think critically.
• If difficulties arise, teachers act quickly with targeted support to keep learning on track.

This close, attentive environment strengthens students’ ability to listen carefully, think clearly, speak thoughtfully, read discerningly, and ask insightful questions - skills that carry forward to post‑secondary success.

How We Teach: The Mentor College Method

We combine structured assessment, clear expectations, and consistent communication to build confidence and mastery:

• Ministry guidelines: Mentor College follows the Ontario Ministry of Education guidelines from JK to university entrance.
• Early exam practice: Beginning in Grade 4, students write examinations; 65% is the minimum benchmark, with additional instruction and retesting provided as needed.
• High School standards: Students must attain a final passing grade of 60% in each subject before proceeding to subsequent credit courses.
• Frequent reporting: Written Progress Reports are provided three times per year, complemented by ongoing teacher communication.

Parental Involvement in the Learning Process: Communication That Matters

Parents are central partners in learning. While teachers lead instruction, families support habits that fuel success:

• Homework begins in Grade 1 to build research, organization, and time‑management skills.
• Homework book system: Students record assignments; teachers initial; parents sign—creating daily visibility and easy communication.
• Monthly call: Homeroom teachers connect every month; parents are welcome to reach out anytime.
• Meet the Teacher: An annual opportunity to speak with teachers and school administrators.

The Mentor College Advantage

Many families seek a school that builds foundational skills and unlocks academic potential. Our traditional, mastery‑based approach emphasizes:

• Fundamentals first: Clear understanding of grammar, effective communication, and strong mathematics principles.
• Mastery over memorization: Students take the time needed to fully understand before advancing.
• Daily checking & feedback: Teachers review work daily to confirm comprehension.
• Creative application: Projects that encourage students to apply new skills, think creatively, and express ideas.
• Confidence through achievement: Each successful assignment strengthens skills, builds self‑esteem, and improves grades.

The result is a positive, caring environment rich in personal attention, where teachers, students, and families work together toward shared goals. Students learn to reason clearly and purposefully, achieving the academic excellence and self‑confidence that carry into adulthood.
