About Us

Bancroft is a unique school in the heart of the Plateau, downtown Montreal. We offer a bilingual program, where half the day is spent in English and the other half in French. Our excellent teaching and school staff care for each student and strive to make learning a fun and enjoyable experience.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide quality education in a caring, safe and inclusive environment where a child’s curiosity for knowledge is encouraged. We are a family of cultures, and we celebrate our diverse multicultural and multiethnic community. We are a school of the times and of the world.

Bancroft School strives to be at the forefront of learner-centered education – a place in which every child’s natural impulse for learning is not replaced by mere “schooling.” Bancroft recognizes that “success” is meant for every child. We strive to foster in Bancroft’s children a passion for lifelong learning, faith in themselves and in their place in the community. We recognize equipping our children to make a positive contribution to the changing world means helping them to become literate, adaptable and critical thinkers, at ease in both English and French and adept with computer technology and the new media.

Our Values

We value that each member of the Bancroft community has the right to be treated with respect and has the responsibility to treat others with the same respect.

We value a secure, stable and supportive environment as essential to the academic, social and emotional growth of students.

We believe children should be offered a rich and diverse range of experiences through which they can explore their own strengths and interests.

We value the involvement of parents in the educational success of their children and believe it has a direct link to the child’s success in school.
