Go to child profileOxford Learning Academy is a learning community with one goal–student success. Oxford Learning is the only education provider that teaches students using the science of cognitive development and has both after-school supplemental education (all grade levels) and a full-day private school (K to grade 8). Students learn how to learn, which means their confidence, motivation and their love of learning improves. Your child will be inspired, supported, and will reach their full potential at Oxford Learning Academy.
Oxford Learning Academy was established in 1984 to provide supplemental tutoring, and while it still offers part-time learning, it has also developed a full-time program. Instruction is student-centred, student-paced, and requires more of individual learners than typical classroom instruction. Oxford, of course, has long lead the charge in this regard, and continues to provide an alternative that, for many learners, is transformational, allowing them to achieve their potentials in ways that other instructional approaches simply don’t.

Here at OLA, we work hard every year to achieve excellence in academics and in student activities. The dedication of our teachers and students helps us to reach this goal. Our students and teachers are constantly trying to improve themselves and reach higher standards. It has been a privilege to be the principal of Oxford Learning Academy and to see our students grow and become successful.
Over the years, I have seen students, teachers, parents, and school faculty give time and energy to make our school successful. The strength of our OLA community has contributed to our students’ academic and extra-curricular achievement. Any successful school has a strong community of parents and staff who are involved and supportive, and we therefore expect nothing but the best from our students, inside of the classroom and outside. High expectations and accountability continue to be top priorities for all of us at OLA. We must settle for nothing less than the BEST in our school! Success in anything has one fundamental aspect - EFFORT. The sky is the limit for students at OLA!
