1167 Lakeshore Rd E is a heritage property listed in the Oakville Heritage Register. The property was built in 1916-17. The heritage status was designated in 2010.
Description: The Peterkin House is a rare and early example of a stone house inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement, with elements of both Queen Anne and Bungalow style architecture, built circa 1916-17. It features stone exterior walls, a 2 1/2 storey form with a front and side porch, chimneys, lintels and sills all executed in stone. The house features a gambrel roof, corner tower, dormers and wood windows with decorative lead-pane glass.
History: The Peterkin House is associated with Charles Peterkin, a local Fenian Raids veteran and Toronto businessman, who purchased the property in 1915. Peterkin, along with his wife Annie Josephine, had the house constructed c.1916-1917 as a home in which to retire. The house is also associated with Albert Edward Gooderham, a philanthropist and member of the prominent Gooderham family of Toronto, who owned the house in the 1930s and 1940s. Gooderham created a home for children with tuberculosis, and funded the University of Toronto’s Anti-Toxine farm, which supplied serum for the Second British Army during World War I. The house reinforces the character of an area of Oakville known locally as “Millionaire’s Row” where a number of wealthy Toronto residents built estates in the early 20th Century.

Name: Matt Gilgan Rating: 5 Date: 2016-08-18 Review: The owners, teachers and staff at Dearcroft are wonderful, caring people. The Montessori method, which allows children the freedom to focus where they're most interested at times, and return to what challenges them most, in a compassionate way, is incredible. It's amazing how children can flourish when properly supported, and we feel extremely privileged to have our children enrolled in such a school that provides such support. The gorgeous treed campus is a child's wonderland.
According to my daughter: "We learn so much, in fun ways. We get lot's of opportunities to do projects. My teachers are so nice. Learning from all the variety of materials is so helpful." |

I can not begin to tell you how wonderful this school has been for my child. She is confident, supported and feels very secure in her surroundings. The owners are amazing people with big hearts, the teachers are passionate, caring and always pleasant. |
Name: Ken Chapman Rating: 5 Date: 2016-06-21 Review: An amazing Montessori school - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
I work in education and visit schools and teachers around the world and I can confidently say that Dearcroft is easily one of the top learning environments I've had the privilege of participating in. I am proud to put my 3 children in this school despite all the other great options available in Oakville.
The teachers are personable, empathetic and caring and true to Maria's Montessori's teachings they develop the whole child. The kids I've interacted with from Dearcroft are exceptional - they are respectful, industrious, and helpful. It's an absolute pleasure to volunteer for school events and interact with the school community.
Some of the other schools we looked at had a 'sterile' and 'luxury' feel to them that I didn't like -- Dearcroft feels more down to earth.
That said -- the facilities could still use some updating -- and in our previous Montessori school the kids did get more french. |
Name: Jeff Mungar Rating: 5 Date: 2016-06-29 Review: Two of our children graduated from Dearcroft, the youngest just this month. From the moment they started at this school we had a good feeling. The teachers, the owner and the environment all gave us a very positive feeling of safety and caring. The enthusiasm of Gord Phippen is great for the students - he is so passionate about their learning and really provides great opportunities for the students to learn so many things above and beyond the "normal" public school type curriculum. The end of year expeditions are amazing travel/learning experiences. Being involved in the United Nations in New York City was an incredible lifetime experience for them. The bonding trips were a good time for the kids to get to know one another, while learning. These trips provided an opportunity for our children to learn geography and history and also important life lessons. The small class numbers made for an incredible student to teacher ratio which you cannot put a price on. All of the teachers were fantastic, and sincerely wanted the best for our children. This contributed to a feeling, for us as parents, that our children were being dropped off daily into a very healthy, safe environment. We loved that security. A big thank you to Gord Phippen and all of the teachers at Dearcroft Montessori School. |
Name: Sandhya Jai Rating: 5 Date: 2016-06-30 Review: We have been so fortunate to have found Dearcroft after one of our 2 children had been bullied for 2 years at her previous school. We switched schools during the school year, so our children came in as outsiders & were immediately welcomed & given roles & responsibilities that brought out the best in them.
In the almost 3 years that they have been at Dearcroft, friends, family & strangers alike have noted how articulate, confident & well spoken our children are, much of which I credit Dearcroft for.
Since joining the school our children have transformed...Our shy & tentative daughter has blossomed into a powerhouse performer, thanks to the art club (which is worth every penny, and is NOT the exorbitant amount quoted by another reviewer).
Our son has developed a focused & unwavering love of math & science, & the confidence & growth mindset to partake in STEM programs geared towards children 2 grades ahead of him.
All children grade 4 & above learn classical guitar as an instrument. The current french curriculum has grade 4 children conjugating verbs in various tenses...all much above ontario ministry standards, and above the standard at other private schools in the area. Math is taught on average a year ahead of the ontario curriculum & combines a variety of truly functional learning methods. The junior high program develops self driven & independent learners, who not only learn in the classroom, but experience what they are being taught through trips, mentoring and active engagement (ie. MMUN, sits in on the UN assembly).
All the teachers make time to discuss & advise regarding your children, and work to challenge them to their maximum potential. The director, Catherine DeBorba, runs a tight ship, though an extremely nurturing one. Gord Phippen is a second generation montessori & experiential learning visionary, who is blessed to have the program directors & Ms.Deborba, implement his ideas to fruition.
The school aims to not just graduate strong students, but strong & kind people, who are engaged in the world around them. Kids are expected to answer to a higher standard of behaviour & it shows. Manners are given, not a bonus...
Yes, the facilities are small & could be refurbished, but many students go onto have success in the arts & sports, because of the attitudes of discipline, determination & sportsmsnship that Dearcroft instills- A beautiful gym, field or classroom can't teach that.
Any school is only as great as its teachers, & at Dearcroft the best teachers will guide your children as their own. We are so fortunate to be one of many families that has this story of transformation to share...thank you Dearcroft. |
