Discover Montessori Excellence at Brilliant Star Montessori School

We are a Qualified Independent Montessori School in Saskatoon and have been in operation since 2009. We are also a not-for-profit, Charitable Organization. We offer preschool-level classes to grade five. Our school is committed to creating a peaceful and stimulating environment for children in a nurturing and inviting authentic Montessori setting.

We are nestled in a house, which we have converted into our school facility. This enables us to provide a safe and familiar educational environment for children. Our School has a beautiful fenced yard and gardens, allowing unlimited and spontaneous opportunities for learning and exploring outdoors as part of our classes. Our beautiful school setting—indoor and outdoor—provides children with a gentle sense of wonder and reverence for the natural world.

Children are actively involved in working towards building a better environment for themselves and our planet and becoming world citizens whom are accountable for their actions. One of our initiatives, the Virtues Project, allows children to be actively involved in developing the virtues within them and working towards building a better environment for themselves, those around them, and mankind as a whole.

As part of the Montessori educational philosophy at Brilliant Star Montessori, children experience joyful learning and social interaction throughout their day. Each child is allowed the freedom to explore and develop at his or her own pace in an atmosphere where learning through helping, working and playing is pleasurable. The children advance through their work as they are ready, always ensuring a high degree of understanding and mastery while building upon their foundations. Our School is fully equipped with official Montessori materials and our classroom directors are all Montessori certified with extensive teaching experience and credentials. Brilliant Star Montessori is committed to offer authentic Montessori programs using the Montessori Materials and philosophy with trained Montessori staff.

Parent Testimonials

“All three of our children attended this amazing school in both the Casa and Elementary programs. We will forever be grateful for the foundation that Brilliant Star Montessori and their teaching philosophy provided for our children’s education and for our family values.”

Jason D. (Parent)

“My son went to Brilliant Star from grade 3-5… What a wonderful school. My son loved the environment, the materials, the teachers, the learning style…….. Montessori teaches children to love learning, to explore the world, to respect each other and the environment, to always be trying to be the best person you can be, in a spirit of respect and acceptance and appreciation for each other. Any child lucky enough to go to Brilliant Star is a blessed child indeed.”

Bev P. (Parent)

“I have come to know many schools and Montessori schools across the country over the years both professionally and personally and have never found one as tirelessly dedicated to excellence, passion for child-directed learning. I have an MSc in Capacity Building and am in awe at the way the school inspires children to engage with their own learning and tap into inner joys for education.

All the staff are all incredibly genuine, professional and great role models for the children. The school space itself is beautiful, inspiring and invokes a home learning familiarity that encourages children to feel more relaxed and focused on inquisitive learning than social dynamics. My only wish is that there was another Brilliant Star Montessori of this caliber on the west coast. Congrats to Julie and all the staff at this school for creating such an inspiring school dynamic!!!”

Michael L. (Parent)

“Our three children have attended both the casa and elementary program over the last six years at Brilliant Star Montessori. By following Maria Montessori’s philosophies, the school has inspired a love of learning and in turn fostered confidence, helpfulness and independence. The directors (teachers) at the school follow the Virtues project which is a wonderful teaching tool to encourage the use of virtues in everyday life to help bring out the best in each child. Our children were not only taught the virtues, but practiced them on a daily basis. Consideration, forgiveness, generosity, honesty and kindness are just a few of the virtues (there are 52 of them) that create a caring and peaceful school and help build students who love to learn, but equally important – those of strong character. The directors are incredibly kind, patient and guide the children to be their best. We truly appreciate everything about the school and cannot say enough good things about it.”
