Below, we rank private schools in terms of class size, providing a list of the top 20 private schools in Canada with the smallest average class size.
Smaller class sizes offered by private schools
have some widely-acknowledged benefits for students. A summary of those benefits would include:
- Individualized attention
- Tailored curriculum
- Interactive learning environment
- More student participation
- Closer relationship with teachers
- Closer relationship with peers
Class size isn’t everything, though. You’ll want to look at many other factors in finding the right school for your child. You’ll also want to consider academics, programs, curricular approaches, teachers, and culture. You may also want to consider school facilities,
extracurriculars, and
technological resources.
To help you out in your search, we
list schools by location and type. You can filter these lists using our
advanced search, and go deeper into schools by reading our
comprehensive school profiles. You can also
compare schools in terms of many different criteria, including
admissions,
academics,
special needs support, and
extracurriculars. Finally, check out our
advice guide, which contains many detailed articles on private school education, or visit one of our
school expos (to meet with many schools, all in the same place).
