Tanya VanElls – Head of School

Tanya brings over 25 years of experience in Montessori education. Tanya combines her classroom experience with public school administration, serving in both Human Resources and Student Special Services. 

She holds a Bachelor’s Degree from Trent University (Ontario, Canada) and a postgraduate diploma in Montessori Teacher Education from Montessori Center International (Ontario, Canada). This summer, Tanya will complete the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) School Leadership Course, further strengthening her commitment to Montessori education and leadership.

A lifelong learner, Tanya continuously seeks opportunities for professional and personal growth. Her goal is to cultivate a learning environment that nurtures the whole child – academically, socially, and emotionally – while inspiring responsible, compassionate global citizenship.
