"Founded in 1984, LDVA is an independent Catholic school in the GTA that provides exceptional education from Preschool to Grade 8. Programs include accredited Montessori and Italian Immersion Preschools, Lower Elementary Montessori, and traditional Grades 4 to 8. LDVA enables students to achieve their full potential and fosters a love of learning by promoting independence and whole-brain thinking. Core subjects follow an enriched Ontario curriculum, with specialist teachers for Music, French, and Italian."
Our unique curriculum combines Montessori and traditional education with a Da Vincian approach to learning. From our Casa Montessori and Scuola Materna Preschools, students progress to our Lower Elementary Montessori program for Grades 1 to 3. Our Upper Elementary program begins in Grade 4 and transitions students into a traditional classroom setting where they follow an enriched curriculum up to Grade 8. Across all levels, we foster a 'Thinking Like Leonardo' approach for lifelong learning.
To provide a well-rounded educational experience, we've made the deliberate choice to maintain smaller class sizes, ensuring personalized attention for each student. This may limit the total number of families we can serve at any given time, but we believe it enhances the quality of education and fosters a closer-knit community.

Our school is ideal for students who thrive in an environment that values curiosity, creativity, and independent thinking. Children who are eager to explore a diverse range of subjects and engage in hands-on learning experiences will find our programs particularly rewarding. We welcome students who are open to embracing different cultural perspectives, especially those interested in learning the Italian language and culture. Additionally, students who flourish in smaller class settings, where individualized attention and nurturing relationships with teachers are prioritized, will feel at home in our community. Our educational approach supports students who are motivated to become lifelong learners and who appreciate a balanced curriculum that includes both traditional academics and innovative thinking skills.
For families seeking a larger school environment with a wide range of extracurricular offerings, our smaller, community-focused setting may not be the best fit. Our commitment to fostering a love of learning and independent thinking is central to our philosophy and may not align with families looking for an educational system with a strong focus on standardized testing. Ultimately, we encourage families to visit and determine whether our unique educational approach aligns with their child’s needs and their own educational values.
