Welcome to Fern Hill School

Fern Hill School is a private school in Ottawa, Ontario that has a rich history of fostering bright individuals and developing future leaders. It offers a unique educational experience for Preschool, Kindergarten, and Elementary kids, integrating advanced training materials with a broad selection of extracurriculars. Fern Hill School was founded in 1981.

For almost 40 years, Fern Hill's lively society of students and teachers has aided in broadening younger generations. Maureen Brookson, a teacher, launched the private school in 1981 with only eight students. Even back then, it was done in an attempt to give young kids an exceptional, well-rounded curriculum that emphasized the development of kind, community-minded individuals as well as sharp minds.

Fern Hill grew into a vibrant preschool for children aged six and above during the following few years. It was established as a non-profit institution with public funding in 1988.

Fern Hill went on to develop its Grade School curriculum five years later, with the help of a group of committed families. The school found a solid location at 50 Vaughan Street in 1997, thanks to fundraising efforts driven once again by dedicated Fern Hill family members.

Fern Hill now provides education for children from Preschool (age 3) to Grade 8. And the school continues to uphold its founding ideals, cultivating brilliant, informed students who are self-assured, socially conscious, and motivated to succeed.
