Globeducate is a leading international K-12 education group with more than 65 leading bilingual and international schools and online programs, serving more than 40,000 students across 11 countries, Andorra, Canada, Cyprus, France, India, Italy, Morocco, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom. In Canada, its local network includes Blyth Academy and Toronto Prep School, and students from The Clover School will now have the opportunity to remain within the Globeducate network beyond the age of 12 through a new, close relationship with this popular Prep School, founded in 2009.

Globeducate prepares each student to become a global citizen who can shape the world. Schools across the group offer a variety of international, national, and local curricula including Ontario, England, Cyprus, France, India, Italy, Morocco, Portugal, and Spain - as well as the International Baccalaureate. The Clover School is the first Montessori school to join the group, complementing the child-centered approach to learning typical of a Globeducate school.

The Clover School, established in 1996 by Sandra Bosnar-Dale and Isabelle Kunicki-Stueckmann, welcomes children from toddler age to 12 years. Growing from eight students in 1996 to a vibrant community of nearly 300 children, and parents and educators spread across two campuses; the leadership team prides itself on helping children to build resilience and tenacity in both learning and life - young people who are capable of making a positive impact in the world.

Pedagogy with purpose is at the heart of education at The Clover School. Success is four-fold: academic mastery, the ability to think creatively, mindfulness and social intelligence, and positive connectedness with the wider world. The foundation of The Clover School's long-standing success lies in recognizing that today's children are tomorrow's changemakers and that it is important to foster innovative thinking early on.

The Clover School students thrive through a wide range of extracurricular activities, from sports and the arts to outdoor education and urban farming, expanding on the science curriculum and exposing children to a variety of interconnected learning opportunities, from cooking and nutrition, and sustainable food cycles, to hosting a Farmer's Market.

Two vibrant campuses, Midtown and High Park, boast uplifting interiors with light-filled classrooms, and all facilities necessary for authentic Montessori learning. Located on Bathurst Street, the Midtown campus features a large outdoor space with playground and urban garden. High Park campus is situated in a quiet, tree-lined area, occupying two historic buildings and an extensive park-like oasis with playground, urban garden, and open-air classroom space.
