What makes Whitby so special?
Exceptional Educators
In our Montessori Children’s House Preschool and Lower School, every classroom is led by a team of dedicated, expert teachers. In Middle School, students thrive under the guidance of subject-area specialists who support and challenge them every step of the way.
No Ceiling on Learning
We believe every child should be challenged at the right level. Our accelerated academic program ensures students stay engaged and inspired, growing their knowledge in meaningful ways.
One Campus, One Community
From Preschool through Middle School, we learn and grow together in a warm, welcoming environment that fosters strong connections and lifelong friendships.


A True Partnership with Parents
We believe that education is a collaboration. You know your child best, and we know how children learn best. Together, we create an enriching and supportive experience.
Real-World Learning
Our students don’t just learn concepts—they apply them to the world around them, developing skills that are relevant, impactful, and lasting.
Middle School Leadership
We empower students to step up, take initiative, and lead with confidence—whether in the classroom, on the field, or in the community.
A Launching Point for Life
Whitby graduates consistently credit their time here for shaping their success in high school, college, and beyond.
At Whitby, we celebrate the unique strengths and potential of every child. Our teachers truly know their students—as learners, as individuals, and as future changemakers.
I invite you to explore our website, schedule a visit, and experience the Whitby magic for yourself! We can't wait to welcome you into our extraordinary community.
