Description: |
The Leonardo Da Vinci Academy aims to instill a love of learning and to challenge students to develop their whole potential in the manner inspired by Leonardo. The goal is to nurture the growth of responsible individuals who are rooted in their heritage, in balance with their world, and secure on the path to self-knowledge within a Catholic setting.
A co-educational, independent school, LDVA is situated in central Etobicoke and services families residing in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario, Canada. The school, sought after by discerning parents, offers exceptional programmes from pre-school to grade 8. Academic excellence, independent thinking skills, and self-discipline are promoted within a healthy Catholic environment. Dedicated professionals employ proven methods and a challenging curriculum to promote a Da Vincian approach to learning. Low student-teacher ratios insure a high level of personal attention to meet individual needs. Current Ontario Ministry of Education guidelines are adopted in Language, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, French and other subjects from grades 1 to 8. The curriculum is enriched with classes in Italian, Art, Music, Computer Literacy, Religious Studies, Guidance, Physical & Health Education, and a variety of sports and other extra-curricular activities. In keeping with the Da Vincian Principles, the overall programme at LDVA includes a well-balanced curriculum of studies in Sciences, Arts, and Humanities. A rich after-school programme of diverse clubs and sports serves to further enhance leaning, promote school spirit and develop social skills and responsibility.
