Bishop Hamilton Montessori School celebrated 35 years of Christian Montessori education with a fundraiser for the continued expansion and improvement of our school. The fundraiser included a silent auction, food, games, entertainment and music in the school’s gym.
Fundraising
As a not for profit independent school, Bishop Hamilton Montessori School does not receive funding from the Ministry of Ontario. We therefore rely on monies raised through fundraising to enhance our programming and facilities. Annual fundraising goals are shared with the school community. We rely on parents and staff to be involved in our fundraising efforts.
Board of Governors
We are a not-for profit school with a Board of interested community members and seasoned professionals. Our Board exercises general oversight and management of the School and property. One third of our Board members are parents of students. The School Director is the Chief Executive Officer who oversees school operations and long-term planning.
