Learning That Lasts A Lifetime
Located in beautiful Innisfil, we are a CAIS accredited, non-profit, independent school in Simcoe County for students in JK to Grade 8.
About Kempenfelt Bay School
As Simcoe County’s only accredited independent school, KBS is committed to a higher standard of education, one that challenges students academically while supporting their growth as capable, curious & compassionate individuals.
Families choose KBS because they value excellence. We honour that choice by sharing their goals: exceptional academics, a balanced focus on arts and athletics, and the development of strong habits that prepare students to thrive in school and in life.
I Can, I Will
At KBS, Simcoe County’s only accredited independent school, we believe the best way to help students achieve academic excellence is to help them become excellent people. That’s why we not only empower students with the critical thinking skills they need to succeed, but we do it in a way that’s supportive, nurturing, individualized and fun. Because when students are given both high expectations and the support they need to meet them, they graduate feeling comfortable with who they are, confident in their abilities, and fearless in the face of life’s challenges. But don’t just take our word for it—come and meet them yourself. You won’t believe how capable, curious and engaged KBS students are.
Their school motto is “I Can, I Will”.
And nothing can stop them.
