Literacy And Mathematics Academy’s Private Elementary School programs will change the way your child feels about school!
We are committed to the fundamentals. Our programs were established on the belief that when we support students – and create an environment that fosters their natural curiosities and is committed to ensuring social, intellectual, and physical development – the possibilities and their potential are endless.
If a child can’t learn the way we teach, then we teach the way they learn. It really is that simple!
Some of our student’s favourite lessons have been: Probability Olympics, Gene Slicing Experiment, Chemical Reactions Unit, Dinosaurs, European History, and Bioluminescence. Our customized programming makes school fun and offers differentiated learning to suit the individual needs of our students. All classes offer One on One time for every student with opportunities to advance and reinforce their learning at their own pace.
The one on one learning is a game charger, it provides opportunities for questions, confidence building, and skill reinforcement. Combine this with our extensive focus on the foundations: reading, literacy and mathematics; we are your dream school and will be your child’s as well!

What parents say
As my daughter never been to any day care or any other facility whole staff was so helpful to ease our anticipation .Great place to send kids
Thank you guys
We commute 35 min each way and would drive further if we had to to get to LAMA!!!
and LAMA ranks as the best we’ve ever attended. Thank you very much for the incredible care you put into both education and fun.
The dedication and commitment the school has on ensuring the children's education is top priority and that not only do they meet Ontario standards but over exceed on the expected curriculum. The focus with more 1 on 1 for children with smaller classroom. This place is every parents wish for their children's education. The best decision we made for our children! We are truly grateful!
They also have a ton of fun activities almost every single day!
Literacy & Mathematics Academy was recommended to us by a friend after we saw our son struggling (to the point of tears) with the online learning program in the Public School system during the Covid lock down. We knew if we didn’t help him, his love of learning would just be met with frustration and soon enough he would just give up.
A simple message explaining the situation to them was met with encouragement, assistance and immediate action. An assessment was done, and a plan was put in place for our sons’ specific needs and concerns along with placing the perfect teacher that would promote the best learning environment for him.
After only 1 online lesson we could see his excitement return for learning and right away knew we had made the right decision.
We can’t say enough positives about the Program that they teach and how they deliver it. They are not bound to one way of teaching and find what works best for the individual student. Knowing our son is happy and wanting to learn is the best feeling any parent could ask for. We look forward to continued learning and success while working with The Literacy & Mathematics Academy.
The staff is quite dynamic in dealing with situations and constantly rise up to find solutions that work for everyone.
My daughter loves going to school, always tells me new interesting facts that she learned & points out new books they read. She walked into that school a very shy 3.9 years old child and is now a self-proclaimed "leader"!
PS. When she asked them if they can have a pj day, they Actually made sure that day was implemented just for her!! How wonderful is that staff??
I would absolutely recommend LAMA to parents seeking quality childcare and curriculum for their children.
