Mia Montessori Academy established in 2004, we offer Primary and Elementary programs that follow the AMI (Association Montessori International) philosophy. We are one of only 5 AMI Member Schools in the Lower Mainland, part of Canada's Montessori Quality Assurance (MQA) program.
We are committed to an educational environment that follows a true and fully certified Montessori approach which is designed to ensure the student is the owner of their education.
Our name, consistent with our vision, uses Italian as as homage to Maria Montessori's roots - 'Mia' means 'My' in Italian.
What does the Montessori approach and our school instil in each student? A sense of ownership over learning, a sense that it is 'Mia education'.

Chaoyin Bilingual School is a Canadian B.C.- based Bilingual Elementary School. It provides an education program for students from Kindergarten to Grade 7.
One of the most unique aspects of Chaoyin Bilingual School is our Mandarin Language Program - the only program of its kind in Richmond. Chaoyin is located in an area where Mandarin is a frequently practiced language. Chaoyin offers students opportunities and experiences which they can apply to the global community they will be entering as adults. The advantages of learning these two languages along with the exposure to different cultures, create endless opportunities and potential for our students.
