Our Mission
Trillium International School is dedicated to providing a holistic education that equips students with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to become valuable members of their communities. We embrace and respect the unique value of each student, fostering an environment of understanding as we strive for excellence in all we do.
Our History
Trillium International School was founded in 2003 after a visit to Trinidad by a former Ontario school principal, originally from Trinidad. During her visit, she was encouraged by the wife of then Prime Minister Patrick Manning to establish a Canadian-curriculum school locally—recognizing the need for quality international education. Inspired by that conversation and her experience with the Ontario system, she set out to create a school where students could receive a globally respected education, right here at home.
"The Trillium flower, featured in our name and emblem, is the official floral emblem of Ontario, Canada—symbolizing growth, renewal, and our strong connection to Canadian education."
Principal's Address
Trillium International School, blessed since 2003, offers a well-rounded education from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12. Students receive an Ontario Secondary School Diploma, without standardized exams. Our vibrant after-school programs support student growth.
