LAUREATESAcademy for Gifted Students
DAY SCHOOL · JK TO GRADE 12 · RICHMOND HILL
Deep roots.
Open horizons.
A school for curious minds, where deep understanding, growing independence and belonging develop together.
THE LAUREATES APPROACH
Challenge, with a purpose.
Academic ambition and care for the whole person belong in the same education. Students investigate questions, practise reasoning and learn to explain what they understand, supported by teachers and peers.
Looking for top high schools in math? Consider both demonstrated achievement and how a school develops understanding. In 2026, Laureates placed first in Pascal, tied first in Fermat and second in Cayley in University of Waterloo school-team honour rolls. These teams draw on our day school and after-hours community; the results are contest standings, not an overall ranking of schools.
Depth before speed.
Grade level is a starting point, not a ceiling. Students can advance beyond it as far as their readiness, mastery and ambition take them. We address gaps, deepen understanding and build the next challenge around the learner, rather than stopping at an age-based boundary.
Individual course plans still respect prerequisites, available provision and Ontario diploma requirements.
Independence, with support.
Teachers explain, question and guide. Students take an active role in their learning, while supported peer mentorship helps them learn with and from one another.
FOUR DIVISIONS · ONE CONNECTED COMMUNITY
Find your starting point.
Kindergarten
JK & SK
Begin a conversation about readiness, learning needs and your child’s first school experiences.
Elementary
Grades 1–4
Discuss current understanding, interests and the right balance of foundation and challenge.
Middle
Grades 5–8
Explore a pathway that responds to your child’s strengths and growing independence.
High school
Grades 9–12
Discuss previous learning, course planning and the next stage of your student’s education.
Placement and available spaces are confirmed through admissions. The division ranges above describe our school structure; individual learning pathways respond to readiness and understanding.
MORE THAN ONE KIND OF STRENGTH
Think rigorously.
Live fully.
Our STEAM approach connects science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics. Language, dialogue and physical activity sit alongside analytical thinking, creativity and practical exploration.
Curiosity is not confined to a subject. Real Laureates experiences include neuroscience contests, student-created fashion and community tree planting.
HOW LEARNING GROWS
Known as a learner.
Growing as a person.
Attentive teaching
Small classes. Close attention. Meaningful challenge. Dr. K directly supervises everyday teaching and learning in every class. Teachers know the learner, check understanding and provide guidance that responds to individual progress.
The value is personal: attentive teaching, purposeful mentorship and room to grow, alongside a broad school experience. Discuss the current programme and full tuition with us when comparing options.
A community of learners
Students develop independence gradually and help one another under the teaching team’s guidance. Explaining an idea builds communication and leadership as well as understanding.
YOUR FAMILY’S NEXT STEP
Come with questions.
Tell us your child’s grade, interests and current learning needs. Ask about placement, the programme plan, daily arrangements and current tuition before deciding.
