Ahmadiyya Elementary School (AES, Ahmadiyya School) is a private school in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada and is the first Ahmadiyya private school to operate in Canada. It is situated at Matheson Blvd. East, just east of Dixie Road (Mississauga). Opened in 2015, the institute is owned and operated by the National Talim Department of the Ahmadiyya Community in Canada. Before 2012, the building served as the home of Jamia Ahmadiyya Canada.

History
The school, located at Baitul Hamd, started as a summer school in 2011, originally focusing on religious education with little to no emphasis on the school curriculum. In 2015, in response to Ontario's 2015 revised sex-ed curriculum, Ahmadiyya Elementary School was officially founded as an actual private school providing proper secular education.

Ahmadiyya Elementary School started with a modest enrollment of 75 students and a handful of faculty members. It had three classes, ranging from the first to the third grade. Over the years, more grades were added, and teaching professionals started to create their own departments.

During the COVID-19 Pandemic, from May 2020 to May 2022, the school went entirely online, hosting the first graduation of their Grade 8 class. This period was marked by an expansion of capabilities offered to the school and a transition to a heavily digital learning environment. During the 2022-23 school year, Ahmadiyya Elementary School enacted a policy of segregation, considering its status as a Muslim school for purposes of adhering to modesty and religious teachings.

As of 2024, It has grown to encompass around 200 students and faculty members, providing one of the best combinations of Islamic and academic education for Ahmadi children, with students from all over Ontario attending this school. Taking inspiration from the success of this school, Ahmadiyya primary schools have opened up all across Canada including Ahmadiyya Muslim School in Calgary and a planned startup in Barrie. The school has had various clubs, including the student parliament, math club, art club, basketball league, and chess club.

Layout
The Ahmadiyya School is built on the Baitul Hamd Mosque Complex. The complex has two large halls, a cafeteria, a library, and several offices for local and regional chapters of the community and of Jamia Ahmadiyya North America. On the second floor lies the school, which has nine classrooms and many complementary rooms for teachers, such as staff rooms and offices.

Awards and Scholarships
Historically, Ahmadiyya Elementary School provided the Tahir and Mahmood scholarships from the fourth grade. This scholarship was given to the highest achieving male and female in each grade, recognizing their accomplishments. Since then, the scholarship has been succeeded by the award of Highest Academic Achievement, functioning similarly but with only one recipient.

For the graduating class of any year, Ahmadiyya Elementary School offers a variety of awards to the most achieving students. These range from a diverse selection of subject awards to awards recognizing pivotal traits such as collaborative leadership. As with most schools, Ahmadiyya Elementary School also hosts a valedictorian award for the students with the highest grade point average of each gender.
