A Message from the Founding Director
Lucie Lalonde
Welcome to Académie de la Capitale (AcadeCap), where purposeful learning meets compassionate inquiry.
At AcadeCap, our mission is to provide an environment that drives learners of all ages to ask questions, think critically, solve complex problems collaboratively, and act. Academic success is achieved through dynamic learning, differentiated teaching, and meaningful assessment.
We are a bilingual International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, authorized to offer the Primary Years Programme (PYP) from Early Years through Grade 6. Our curriculum integrates Ontario Ministry of Education standards with a transdisciplinary approach, ensuring that students make connections across subjects and apply their learning to real-world contexts. In Grades 7 and 8, our Pre-Secondary School Programme (PSSP) continues this inquiry-based learning, preparing students for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) in high school. Throughout all stages, our proprietary 21st Century Learning Curriculum© fosters critical thinking, global awareness, and personal agency.
Our new campus at 3448 Richmond Road, surrounded by green spaces and nature trails, complements our holistic approach to education. It provides a stimulating environment where students can engage in purposeful learning experiences that nurture their intellectual curiosity and emotional intelligence.
At AcadeCap, we believe that education is not just about academic achievement but also about developing the curiosity to question, the rigour to excel, and the courage to act. We invite you to explore our community and discover how we can support your child's journey toward becoming a thoughtful, compassionate, and globally-minded individual.
