Fairmount Public School was built in 1951 at the foot of Fairmount Avenue, now known as Dorset Road. Additions were made to the original 8-room building in 1953, 1956 and 1962. An interesting historical feature of the school is a set of three architectural sculptures designed by the builder, Murray Brown, depicting the basic skills of reading, writing and mathematics. These are on the outside north wall of the school. Centred in an older neighbourhood, bordering on the Scarborough Bluffs, the school has seen a great fluctuation in enrolment over the years. Currently, the school population is stable as more young families move into the community. We currently house a Sunshine Daycare

It is often called one of Markham's hidden treasures, nestled in a beautiful, natural setting. Over the past 30 years, Montessori North School has been a home-away-from-home for hundreds of Markham's children. We offer a Montessori program for 2 to 6 year old that runs half or full days. What we hope to accomplish through our curriculum is to deliver children to themselves by giving them Dr. Montessori's "Keys to the Universe", as well as nurturing their social & emotional confidence to go out into the world to use them. The goal of Montessori North School is to give our children the gift & joy of learning, which will remain with them for the rest of their lives. "Joy of Learning & Love of Life" since 1983.
