Message from Our Head of School

Welcome to Matthews Hall! 

In choosing to explore our community you have made a thoughtful and important decision to investigate the very best learning journey that you can.  

Come visit us and you will quickly see how our joyful and inclusive learning environment is the foundation upon which academic excellence is built. At Matthews Hall, relationships define our collective efforts and provide the safety and trust required for learning to be at its fullest.  

Our embrace and focus on the early years allow for our deep understanding of young learners. This understanding in turn allows us to meet them where they are and propel them forward to being their best. 

This, of course, is fully realized when an inclusive partnership exists between home and school. At Matthews Hall the family is welcomed, which allows for the full synergies between learning at home and at school to be realized and harmonized. We believe that people make the place. The essence of any place is found in the people who bring it to life. It is our faculty and staff—their values, energy, and relationships—that shape the culture, spirit, and identity of our community. Their actions, attitudes, and connections transform our spaces into meaningful places where our students feel seen, supported, and inspired. Ultimately, it’s not our place that defines our people—it is our people who define our place. 

We are proudly London’s only member school of the Canadian Accredited Independent Schools (CAIS) and the Ontario Conference of Independent Schools (CIS). CAIS comprises over 90 schools across the country, all of which commit to undergoing a reflective and collaborative school improvement process, meeting National Standards, and participating in research and professional learning. 

Please take the time to fully explore our school so that you can recognize the totality of our learning journey, how we are different, and how we may be just what you seek. 

I very much look forward to seeing you. 

Chris White, Head of School
