The St. Lawrence Academy is a registered Ontario charity.
St. Lawrence Academy is funded entirely through tuition and donations.
We receive no government funding, yet we meet—and often exceed—the standards of Ontario’s public education system. We hire qualified, certified teachers, follow the Ontario Curriculum, and intentionally cap class sizes at 15 students to ensure every child is truly known and supported.
​
To keep education accessible for families, our educators accept salaries 20%–40% below the provincial average. Even with these sacrifices, tuition alone cannot cover the full cost of delivering the level of education we believe every child deserves.
​
That’s where our donors and sponsors make a life-changing difference.
​
Since opening our doors in 2007, SLA has offered bursary scholarships to families based on financial need. Each year, the school absorbs up to $75,000 in losses to ensure that students from lower-income households can access the same high-quality education as their peers. We do this because we believe exceptional education should never be limited to those who can afford it.
​
At SLA, our mission is to prepare the Leaders of Tomorrow—leaders who reflect all backgrounds, experiences, and walks of life. Through strong academics, music and theatre programs, and a Christian, character-building foundation, students are taught responsibility, resilience, service, and purpose.
​
We set the bar high—academically, socially, and spiritually. Progress is earned, not assumed. Students are assessed honestly, supported intentionally, and challenged to grow through adversity. Every child, regardless of economic background, deserves that standard and that opportunity.
​
St. Lawrence Academy has never sought to be an elite school. Our goal is to remain a life-changing opportunity—open to all families.​​​​
A special Thank you to Sean Lucey and the Bridgeview Dockside Restaurant for their sponsorship of our Hot Lunch Program and all they do for the children and families at SLA.
