Our Story
Welcome to the storied journey of Sherwood Heights School, an institution built on a foundation of dedication, innovation, and community spirit. Established in 1989, our school embarked on its educational mission with a modest ensemble of 18 students and three committed staff members. Nestled in the heart of Erin Mills, our initial location was the seed from which our vibrant community has grown.
Our humble beginnings were marked by a shared dedication to providing an intimate, engaging learning environment. Even in those early days, Sherwood Heights was more than a school; it was a family, where every student’s potential could be nurtured and realized. This foundational period set the tone for the enriched educational approach that defines us today.
The turn of the millennium heralded a new chapter for Sherwood Heights as we sought to expand our reach and deepen our impact. In 2002, with aspirations of accommodating our growing family and enhancing our educational offerings, we proudly inaugurated our second campus, the Kennedy Campus. Also located in Mississauga, this purpose-built facility signified our commitment to evolving without losing sight of our core values. It provided state-of-the-art amenities and a broader canvas for innovative teaching and learning experiences.
A significant milestone in our history came in September 2018 when the Erin Mills Campus took a bold step forward, relocating to a new, modern facility at 3650 Platinum Drive. This move was not just a change of scenery; it represented our dedication to constant improvement and adaptation. The new campus stands as a testament to our enduring commitment to providing the best possible environment for our students to learn, grow, and succeed.
Today, Sherwood Heights School has blossomed into a thriving educational community, home to over 500 students and supported by a dedicated team of teachers. Our growth from a small, passionate cohort to a leading educational institution in Mississauga mirrors our journey of continuous learning and development. Each chapter in our history is a stepping stone, not only in terms of physical expansion but also in the evolution of our educational philosophy and practices.
As we look to the future, we remain anchored by the values that have guided us from the beginning—commitment to confidence, knowledge, and excellence. Sherwood Heights School continues to be a place where history and innovation intertwine, shaping the bright, promising leaders of tomorrow.
