Life at Laureates
More than
remarkable results.
At Laureates Academy for Gifted Students (LAFGS, pronounced “laughs”), intellectual curiosity, creative confidence and responsibility to others belong in the same education.
Create
An idea you can wear.
In a two-hour fashion workshop, students created their own garments, turning ideas into something they could make and wear.
Design. Making. Creative confidence.
Contribute
Growing beyond
the classroom.
On October 17, 2026, students led a tree-planting event with community organizers. Their contribution was recognized by Members of Parliament.
Student leadership. Community. Environment.
Our approach
A starting point.
Not a ceiling.
Grade level is a starting point, not a ceiling. Students can move beyond it as far as their readiness, mastery and ambition take them. Small classes and close mentorship make room for deeper questions, individual attention and the next challenge.
Strong foundations stay essential. Acceleration is planned around the learner, with course prerequisites and diploma requirements kept in view.
01
Build the foundation.
Secure understanding makes advanced learning possible. Assessment helps identify the right next step.
02
Explore the question.
Guided discovery, thoughtful questions and challenging problems turn learning into an active pursuit.
03
Own the next step.
Independent work and mentorship help students take an active role in their learning.
A LAUREATES JOURNEY
A strong mind.
A wider world.
Erfan’s path from Grade 11 to university.
Erfan joined Laureates from Iran in Grade 11 with strong interests in mathematics and physics. He also played soccer, basketball and volleyball, and explored art and music.
With Dr. K’s guidance and connections, he was hired as a researcher at the University of Toronto while still in Grade 11. His Fermat achievement brought an invitation to Waterloo’s EMACS camp.
He received computer science offers from the University of Toronto, Waterloo and McMaster, and chose McMaster, which offered him a $120,000 scholarship.
