A world of possibility in every child
St-Laurent Academy is continually identifying, developing and implementing best approaches to learning. Our focus on each child’s profile and needs, allows us to ensure student success in all areas of development, from Junior Kindergarten to High School.
Our diversified approach fosters creativity, integrates French and English language, encourages physical fitness, as well as provides for a curriculum that balances academics with the application of real-world learning. Students are set up for success as they follow their pathway from Elementary, to Junior High and then to High School, enabling them to move forward to the University or College of their choice.

The new family will receive a $500 discount on tuition fees as well. More information is available upon request.
Testimonials
SLA has many great features, the most important of which for us are the staff and the sports programming. We feel extremely fortunate that our daughter has had the opportunity to be taught by such warm, capable, and enthusiastic teachers. We also think the sports programming is exceptional. While we greatly appreciate the rigor with which SLA approaches the academic curricula, it’s the exposure to the wide variety of physical activities at such a young age that makes the SLA experience unique in our minds.

The specialty teachers are exceptional. We have been so impressed with the science program, music program and art. To hear a 4 or 5 year old describing the solar system in detail is quite something. The specialty teachers excel in their respective subject matter and are excellent at their jobs. With the support of the fluently bilingual and very dedicated Kindergarten teacher team, the French language is encouraged and supported even in classes where the predominant language is English.

The Academy exposes children to a wide variety of experiences. The staff is also very receptive to the suggestions of parents. The fact that the Academy offers year-round programming is also a definite asset to working parents.

St-Laurent Academy is a wonderful school. The school is bright and cheery with lots of windows and natural light. There is a large city park adjacent where the kids can play and physical activity is highly encouraged. It is small, the teachers and administration know all of the kids by name and there is good interaction between the younger and older students, who all look out for each other. I am constantly impressed by the little things like having the older kids hold doors open in the hall for other students and for the adults coming through. Students are well behaved and show respect for others.

The strength of the program lies in the variety of activities that are offered – in addition to academics, the program includes swimming, skating, dance, gymnastics, martial arts, music. The children at the Academy are presented with a range of opportunities that are not offered anywhere else. The bilingual nature of the program also gives the children an advantage when integrating into immersion or French-language programs at elementary school.
