Elmwood School (Ottawa)

Elmwood School is a private day school for girls located in Rockcliffe Park in the city of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It was founded in 1915 and is an International Baccalaureate World School. Elmwood School was the first school in North America to be accredited for all three levels of the IB Program - the Diploma Programme for students in the final two years of secondary school, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for students aged 11–16, and the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for students aged 3–12. The school is also a member of the National Coalition of Girls' Schools and the Canadian Accredited Independent Schools. The faculty provides education to 400 students aged 4 to 18. Classes are small, with an average class size of 12 and a student to teacher ratio of 7:1. Tuition fees for the 2018–2019 school year are approximately $26,960 for grades 1 to 12 students. The current Head of School is James Whitehouse, who took over the leadership of the school in 2019 after seven years as Deputy Head of the Middle and Senior School. Prior to joining Elmwood, he served as Assistant Head at Seven Kings High School in Redbridge, London, United Kingdom. Like many other private schools throughout the Commonwealth, Elmwood's traditions are based on similar schools in Britain. Senior formal leaders in their graduating year are called prefects, the students wear uniforms, and each student is a member of a house. Recent graduates have matriculated to universities across Ontario, Canada, the United States, the UK and across the globe. Each year, over 80% of graduates receive valuable scholarships to post-secondary institutions such as the Greville Smith Scholarship from McGill University, the National Excellence Award from the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation, the Sesquicentennial Scholarship from St. Lawrence University in New York State, the Undergraduate Research Scholarship from the University of Ottawa Faculty of Science, the Richard Lewer Scholarship from Carleton University and the President's Entrance Scholarship from the University of Western Ontario to name but a few. In 2010, Elmwood's class of 43 graduates were offered over $1,000,000 in scholarship awards. The largest single scholarship awarded was in 2009, when $150,000 US was awarded to a student.In 2019, the entire graduating class were Ontario Scholars.

Lindenlea
Lindenlea

Lindenlea is a neighbourhood in Rideau-Rockcliffe Ward in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, northeast of Downtown. It is bordered by Maple Lane to the north, Acacia Avenue to the east, Beechwood Avenue to the south and Springfield Road to the west.Prior to its founding in 1919, there were some homes in the area on Beechwood Avenue adjacent to the community of Clarkstown (now part of Vanier) and on Rideau Terrace. It is the earliest planned community in Ottawa, dating back to the end of the First World War. The community was planned by Thomas Adams and is an example of Adams' garden suburb style. Most of the homes have large back yards, a feature of this planning style. The community is divided into upper Lindenlea, north of Rideau Terrace, and lower Lindenlea. Only upper Lindenlea was planned by Adams. This part of the neighbourhood was developed by the Ottawa Housing Corporation, and was bought for $66,000. Lower Lindenlea was developed later but followed many of the garden suburb principles, including the large back yards, and contains a "melange of 1950s brick apartments". The Champlain Towers apartment complex was built by the Campeau Corporation in this section in 1962, and a further development in this section called "Springfield Mews", was built in the 1980s.In 2019, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the neighbourhood, the City of Ottawa installed commemorative street signs in the neighbourhood, replacing the regular blue and white municipal street signs.Lindenlea is notable for its picturesque architecture, mature trees, and plentiful green space. The community association produces a periodic newsletter called The Lindenleader and residents of Lindenlea also receive The New Edinburgh News produced by the community association of neighbouring New Edinburgh. Lindenlea has a children's park, tennis courts, a bowling green and a community centre. The community centre was originally a communal garage—there were so few cars that the land was purchased by three local residents for use as a car park, but was later donated to the City. The population as of the Canada 2016 Census was 1,702.
