Huntsville/Lake
of Bays residents choose from an excellent selection of
schools including public schools (administered provincially
through the Trillium Lakelands District School Board), private
and Christian schools, schools administered by the Simcoe
Muskoka Catholic District School Board, and Montessori.
The
Huntsville
area is also directly connected to nearby post-secondary
institutions such as Georgian
College and Nipissing
University. Promoting the development of additional post-secondary education
opportunities in the community is a major focus of Huntsville
's Strategic Plan (2002). A University of Waterloo facility in Huntsville is in the planning and building stages and will be used for
research in the fields of environmental and ecosystem resilience.
Huntsville
Public Library services include a variety of children's
programs, Outreach for the home bound, and public access
to the Internet. The Algonquin Academy of Wilderness and
Wildlife Art provides educational opportunities for students
with both an artistic bent, and an appreciation for the
wilderness and wildlife, so abundant in the region. A strong
support group is also available for home schooling.
