Our Mandate

Each child enters this world unique and full of untapped potential.

It is the environment children experience which determines whether they fulfill their academic potential; whether their natural talents are discovered and developed; whether their innate drive to make sense of their world is recognized -- and inspired.

The achievements of the child set the stage for a lifetime of success.

At Laurel Academy, we aim to ensure that each child reaches his/her academic, artistic and athletic potential in an environment which promotes the values of respect, compassion and integrity, and the development of self-confidence and self-worth.  Experience has taught us that children want to -- and can -- learn at far higher, more sophisticated levels than most educators believe, or schools achieve.

Our ability to tap this unrecognized potential is the heart of our school.

Independent standardized tests* of our students’ academic achievement places the school in the
top 1% of Canadian schools.
