Our Perspective

How we see Guiding Light Academy

One of the reasons that private school is attractive is because there is no assumption that one size fits all, and Guiding Light is a great example of that. It presents both traditional and Montessori instruction in consort with the values and lessons of the Catholic church. It’s not for everyone, though for some, it provides a strikingly tailored fit. The ideal family is one that is active within the Catholic faith and looking for a school that will support that spiritual life. Families who enroll are drawn by the strength of the academic program, as well as by the breadth of extra-curricular offerings, all offered within a very close-knit school community. There is no other school like it, and for the families that enrol, that's perhaps Guiding Light's greatest strength.

Message from school leadership

Deanne Jackson, Principal

We at Guiding Light Academy are blessed to share the integral role of guiding our children during the formative years of their lives.

Through outstanding learning and teaching, with constant reinforcement of core values, we strive to prepare our children for the tapestry of life.

On a personal note, I have founded and managed School of Knowledge, Sharjah, U.A.E., for the last 30 years. My gratification is when my students, now young adults, feel that the best years of their lives were the ones spent in our care! This sense of achievement is what I endeavour  to bring to the field of education in Toronto as well.
