The Giles School, French immersion school in Don Mills, Toronto, Canada
The Giles School is a private school in Don Mills offering French immersion education from Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 8. Class sizes remain small, with 10 to 16 students per group, allowing teachers to focus on each child's needs.
The school was founded in 1989 under a different name in Markham before relocating to its current location on Scarsdale Road. This move allowed the institution to expand and serve the Don Mills community more directly.
Students from more than 20 countries learn together, using English, French, and Mandarin daily in their classes. This mix of languages and backgrounds shapes how the school feels and how children interact with each other.
The school accepts children starting at age 2 and welcomes entry through Grade 1 without language testing. Regardless of prior French experience, newcomers can join, and a low student-to-staff ratio of 8:1 provides strong support for all learners.
Children in Pre-Kindergarten learn mathematics entirely in French, reaching the ability to count to 60 and write numbers up to 20. This early exposure to academic thinking in another language builds a strong foundation for future learning.
