School Philosophy

At Lauderdale School, home of the Lions, we are fundamentally committed to ensuring high levels of learning for all students within a safe and supportive environment. Our dedicated educators strive to empower each child to build the pathways toward a life full of possibility by focusing on a whole child approach to education. We believe this involves addressing both the academic and non-academic needs of our students, helping them develop the core competencies and skills necessary to become lifelong learners and leaders. We envision a school that is responsive to the needs of its community, challenging every student to successfully prepare for the future.

The cornerstone of our educational practice is providing high quality education through outstanding student learning opportunities and professional collaboration. We offer inclusive programming from Kindergarten to Grade 6, including specialized programming like Interactions, Opportunity, and Strategies, to meet diverse student needs. We are guided by the values of being respectful, safe, and kind learners, which are vital for building a school community that fosters belonging, connection, and engagement in learning for every Lauderdale Lion.
