Creating Strong Foundations for Lifelong Learners
Matthews Hall is dedicated exclusively to the foundational years, serving students from Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 8. As London’s only CAIS-accredited elementary school, we combine a century of academic excellence with modern, specialist-led learning and Orton-Gillingham-trained faculty designed to support every stage of a child’s development.
Students benefit from a balanced education that includes strong core academics, daily French, visual and performing arts, instrumental music, and hands-on STEM experiences, and opportunities to build leadership and community through our House System.

Find the Right Fit for Your Child
Kindergarten
Our Pre-K to SK program builds a foundation for academic confidence in small, nurturing classrooms. Led by Orton-Gillingham-trained educators, children master early literacy, phonemic awareness, and math alongside specialist-led French, music, and physical education to nurture a love of discovery.
Lower School
In Grades 1 to 5, students deepen their critical thinking and build strong executive-function habits on a campus designed exclusively for elementary education. Classroom teachers and specialists in French, STEM, physical education, and visual arts deliver explicit math instruction and structured literacy to foster academic discipline and confidence.
Middle School
In Grades 6 to 8, students cultivate independent inquiry and advanced academic poise during a pivotal stage of personal growth. Taught by subject specialists in modern facilities, coursework spans accelerated STEM, humanities, French, and leadership roles such as Student Parliament and House captains, preparing students for top secondary schools.
Why Families Choose Matthews Hall
Built Exclusively for Elementary Leadership
Focusing strictly on Pre-K through Grade 8 creates a unique environment where every child belongs and every age group can lead. Without high schoolers dominating campus life, our oldest elementary students take center stage. They run school initiatives, guide younger peers, and enter Grade 9 with proven leadership experience.
Proven Literacy and Academic Foundations
We integrate Orton-Gillingham-trained instruction into early literacy, pairing explicit phonemic awareness and structured math with specialist-led teaching in French, STEM, music, visual arts, and physical education.
Personalized Focus and True Community
Small class sizes and low student-to-teacher ratios ensure no child is lost in the crowd. Every educator knows every student, providing tailored academic support alongside dedicated social-emotional guidance.
CAIS-Accredited Excellence Since 1890
A 135-year legacy of academic distinction provides families with complete confidence. CAIS accreditation guarantees rigorous standards, expert instruction, and a seamless transition to top secondary school programs.
Modern Spaces Built for Active Learning
Our campus combines purpose-built classrooms, modern learning technologies, dedicated arts spaces, and vibrant outdoor areas. This creates a safe, dynamic environment where students are inspired to explore, collaborate, and grow every day.
