LETTER FROM THE BOARD CHAIR AND HEAD OF SCHOOL
Jayson Rainone CHAIR OF THE BOARD
Andrew Cross HEAD OF SCHOOL
The 2024–2025 school year was one of celebration, transition and meaningful progress for our entire community.
We began the year by unveiling our new school name and branding on both campuses, marking a milestone that brought fresh energy and excitement as students, families and staff reconnected after the summer. Last year we recorded the highest enrolment in our history. Our continued growth reflected the strength of our academic, co-curricular and extra-curricular programs and the dedication of our exceptional teachers and staff.
A major highlight was the opening of our new 384-seat Performing Arts Centre in November, a beautiful re-imagining of the former Lower School gymnasium. Designed to evoke inspiration and creativity, this space has quickly become a vibrant hub for community events. The past year also marked the graduation of our first class under the Lauremont School name, an important moment in our school’s evolution.
Behind the scenes, an enormous amount of work went into our rebranding: new signage, stationery, history walls, a completely redesigned website and many other elements that now reflect our renewed identity. Alongside this, we continued to strengthen our distinctive Montessori-IB continuum, offering students a seamless journey from 18-month-old Toddlers to Grade 12 graduates. Academic excellence remains central to our mission, supported by a growing range of opportunities in Athletics, the Arts and student leadership.
Our Strategic Pillars (Innovation, Sustainability and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) also advanced in visible ways. Guided by internal expertise and external consultants, we engaged families through coffee mornings, workshops, articles and presentations that helped bring these priorities to life. We continued to invest in
infrastructure, technology, Robotics and Design, ensuring students are equipped with the skills and aptitudes needed for the future.
Last year also saw the successful completion of our 18-month CAIS Re-Accreditation process. The Peer Review Team’s visit in February resulted in our re-accreditation for another five years, affirming our commitment to meeting and in many cases exceeding national standards across 11 areas of school practice.
Accreditation is what distinguishes CAIS independent schools from the over 1500 private schools in Ontario. It means that Lauremont has undergone a very rigorous process that involves everything from health and safety, to the academic programs to the governance and leadership of the school. As the Board Chair and Head of School, we congratulate all of those in our community who contributed to this major success!
Once again, our students excelled: the Class of 2025 achieved an IB average score of 32, well above the world average, and two graduates received the IB Global Youth Action Fund Award for their “Crew of Care” service initiative, now a student-led NGO devoted to improving access to medical care among under-served communities.
As we look ahead, we remain committed to listening, learning and leading with integrity. Thank you to our educators, staff, students and families for your ongoing partnership. Together, we are building a future filled with promise, purpose and opportunity.
JAYSON RAINONE Chair of the Board
ANDREW CROSS Head of School
OUR01STRATEGIC GOALS
At Lauremont, our Strategic Plan continues to guide purposeful growth and innovation across all divisions. This year, our three key initiatives, Sustainability, Innovation and Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI), shaped student learning from the earliest years in the Toddler Program to the complex inquiry of our Upper School. Across every classroom and discipline, our four foundational pillars of Academics, Arts, Athletics and Citizenship remain deeply interwoven, nurturing compassionate, creative and capable citizens of the world.
DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION
Diversity, equity and inclusion are the heart of our community’s values; they are celebrated in classrooms, performances, literature and daily interactions. Here are some of last year’s initiatives:
Toddler and Children’s House
Nurturing Early Understandings of Self, Community and Difference.
• In Toddler and Children’s House, children explored identity and culture through All About Me projects, sharing family traditions and artifacts from home.
• Parent volunteers enriched this work by leading classroom celebrations for cultural holidays like Diwali, Hanukkah and Lunar New Year.
• Black History Month was brought to life through storytelling and shared meals, connecting even our youngest learners to a wider world.
• Classroom libraries were expanded so that half of all titles now reflect diverse voices, ensuring every child can see themselves, and those around them, reflected in what they read.
Elementary School
Professional Development and student workshops from Unlearn and Canvas.
• Teachers enhanced library collections with a goal of 25% diverse authorship, while lessons explored antisemitism, Indigenous histories, stereotypes, discrimination and personal identity.
• UN Day provided a culminating opportunity for students to research and represent global cultures, celebrating empathy, understanding and global citizenship.
Upper School
DEI was embedded across programs, student life and academic study.
• Language and Literature courses continued to expand representation, studying writers from across the world through an IB lens of perspective and inquiry.
• The Grade 11 Advisory project developed a Hub for student choice: peer tutoring, athletics, community engagement, calendar and planning, etc.
• Student-led Wellness, QNA and Amnesty International clubs advanced advocacy and inclusion, organizing campaigns such as Write for Rights and awareness assemblies.
• Faculty integrated DEI reflection into curriculum review and classroom practice, ensuring that Lauremont’s learning environment remains a place where every voice is valued.
SUSTAINABILITY
Our sustainability initiatives shaped student learning from the earliest years in the Toddler Program to the complex inquiry of our Upper School.
Toddler and Children’s House
Sustainability began with the smallest of hands.
• Eighteen-month-olds learned to compost food scraps, tend flower beds and harvest blooms later used for classroom arranging.
• Recycling projects came alive through creativity where students built robots from repurposed materials, while parents joined in to model stewardship and community involvement.
Elementary School
Sustainability became inquiry in action.
• Students cultivated vegetables and flowers in outdoor classrooms and greenhouses, connecting scientific learning with citizenship and environmental ethics.
• Lower Elementary classes tracked food waste in the kitchen, applying math, design and problem-solving skills to reduce that waste.
• Tree planting and community gardening brought this learning beyond the classroom walls, emphasizing the responsibility of caring for shared spaces.
Upper School
Sustainability scaled up through collaboration and leadership.
• The annual Car Show showcased electric and hybrid technologies, while the Sustainability Club achieved Bronze-Level Eco-School Certification.
• Through Advisory, grade-level teams integrated sustainability into weekly projects—from food waste audits to cost-saving proposals—aligning daily practice with Lauremont’s strategic commitment to environmental awareness.
INNOVATION
Through hands-on projects, emerging technologies and inquirybased learning, students brought creativity and curiosity to life in classrooms across Lauremont.
Toddler and Children’s House
Innovation began with imagination and movement.
• Students explored mindfulness and creative expression through yoga and drama in the Performing Arts Centre, cultivating confidence and emotional literacy.
• Regular visits from Robogo, STEAM and hands-on experiences with exotic animals sparked early curiosity about science, technology and the natural world.
Elementary School
Innovation was about inquiry, reflection and real-world impact.
• Students used digital portfolios to document learning and share growth with peers and families.
• A partnership with Aramark invited classes to apply design thinking to food management and waste reduction, developing problem-solving, collaboration and communication skills.
• Inquiry-driven classroom projects encouraged students to test ideas, iterate solutions and celebrate the creative process.
• Through the Nest System, students linked innovation and citizenship by tracking waste reduction and community contributions, demonstrating that creativity and responsibility go hand in hand.
Upper School
Innovation connected deeply with entrepreneurship and design.
• A year-long partnership with a STEAM education provider offered coding, electronics and design programs that challenged students to apply learning through real-world contexts.
• Collaboration with the Schulich School of Business allowed students to explore design thinking for social and economic impact.
• The Grade 10 Advisory Project researched ingredients, allergies and food sensitivities to generate cultural recipes to prepare for their advisory group.
OUR02PILLARS
Lauremont School aims to nurture the development of each student to become successful, informed, active, compassionate and life-long learners who will make a positive contribution to our international community. In order to achieve this goal, we focus on four main pillars to guide students in that direction: Academics, Arts, Athletics and Citizenship.
ACADEMICS
A spirit of Excellence
The academic program at Lauremont School was defined by curiosity, challenge and an eagerness to engage deeply with the world beyond the classroom.
Across every discipline, students embraced enriched learning opportunities from advanced courses and new program offerings to national and international competitions that stretched their thinking and sharpened their skills. Whether presenting compelling arguments in Debate and Model UN, tackling real-world issues through Schulich, Mock Trial and Destination Imagination, or excelling in STEAM, business, languages and the arts, our learners demonstrated exceptional commitment and intellectual growth.
Their achievements were recognized across the province and country, with students earning places at elite tournaments, bringing home top awards and representing Lauremont with confidence and integrity. This spirit of excellence extended to our faculty as well, highlighted by advanced academic accomplishments and continued innovation in program design. Altogether, it was a year that showcased the strength, range and ambition of academic life at Lauremont’s Upper School.

LOWER SCHOOL
In the Lower School, academic life last year was filled with discovery, collaboration and joyful learning from Toddler through Grade 6. Students engaged in a dynamic, inquirydriven Montessori curriculum that nurtured foundational skills while encouraging curiosity, creativity and confidence across all subject areas. Classrooms buzzed with hands-on exploration in literacy, numeracy, science and social studies, supported by rich interdisciplinary projects that helped students make meaningful connections to the world around them.
Whether researching community helpers, experimenting with early engineering concepts, developing strong reading and writing habits or tackling their first collaborative problem-solving challenges, our young learners grew as thinkers, communicators and caring classmates. With dedicated teachers guiding them every step of the way, the Lower School continued to foster a strong academic foundation and a love of learning preparing students for the exciting challenges ahead.

ARTS
The Joy of Creativity
At Lauremont, the Arts continue to be a vibrant catalyst for creativity, confidence and community.
This year, students across both campuses immersed themselves in rich experiences in visual arts, music and drama—pushing boundaries, taking risks and celebrating their growing artistic identities. From gallery visits that deepened their understanding of contemporary and Canadian art to dynamic performances that filled our halls with music and storytelling, the Arts flourished at every grade level.
Our Upper School students earned placements at top art and film programs and excelled on provincial and national stages in music and drama, while our Lower School learners embraced new opportunities—from ukulele in Grade 4 to Integrated Arts performances that brought entire classes together. With hundreds of students participating in arts programming, workshops, competitions and showcases, this was a year defined by expression, collaboration, and the joy of creative discovery.

CITIZENSHIP
Building Citizens of Character and Impact
At Lauremont, Citizenship comes alive in every corner of our school.
It is reflected in how our students treat one another, how they engage with the world beyond our walls and how they take responsibility for shaping a kinder, more sustainable future. This year, our classrooms, hallways, playgrounds and community partnerships were filled with moments of leadership, empathy, service and collaboration.
From service-learning projects to student-led initiatives in sustainability, advocacy and peer mentorship, our students demonstrated that citizenship is not a single act but a lifelong practice. At Lauremont, we nurture young leaders who understand that contributing to the greater good begins with small, meaningful actions that build strong communities.

Learning Through Service
This year, students across all grades engaged in service-learning projects that deepened their understanding of community needs. Donation drives, volunteer partnerships and hands-on initiatives helped students see how collective effort can create meaningful change.
Leadership in Every Grade
Citizenship at Lauremont grows with our students. Leadership is intentionally scaffolded from our youngest student “helpers” learning responsibility, to Middle School mentorship roles, to Upper School students leading events and advocacy projects.
Sustainability as a Shared Responsibility
Our students demonstrated an impressive commitment to environmental stewardship. Through environmental clean-ups, waste audits, eco-initiatives and integration of sustainability into coursework, they continued to make Lauremont a greener community.
A Culture of Empathy & Inclusion
Citizenship is rooted in how we care for one another. Students practised listening, collaboration, conflict resolution and compassion, strengthening the supportive culture that defines Lauremont.

ATHLETICS
The value of teamwork
At Lauremont School, we believe that physical education and athletic participation are crucial components of a comprehensive education.
Athletics foster physical health, teamwork, leadership skills and discipline. Engaging in sports and physical activities not only enhances students’ physical well-being but also promotes mental resilience and social skills. Our comprehensive Athletics program, spanning from the Toddler level to Upper School, is designed to cultivate these attributes, preparing students for a lifetime of healthy habits and active living.
This year, our Athletics program continued to grow in strength, spirit and opportunity. Students embraced a wide range of individual and team sports, developing confidence through practice, competition and personal achievement. From foundational motor skills in our youngest learners to interscholastic competitions and high-performance training in the Upper School, every stage of our program is designed to meet students where they are and challenge them to reach new heights. Alongside skill development, our athletes demonstrated sportsmanship, perseverance and pride, showcasing what it means to represent Lauremont with heart and integrity both on and off the field.

03 OUR COMMUNITY
Lauremont School is a place of limitless possibilities. We are proud of the flourishing community life programs we have created over the past 64 years. Our aim is simple: to ensure that outstanding teaching and learning are supported by a continually expanding web of opportunities and experiences beyond the classroom.
SCHOOL LIFE
Building a Future of Belonging
This year, the spirit of community at Lauremont School shone brighter than ever.
From the energy of our Welcome Back BBQ to the unforgettable opening of our new Performing Arts Centre, made even more special by a performance from Chantal Kreviazuk, our families, students and staff consistently came together to celebrate what makes Lauremont unique.
Traditions like our Holiday Marketplace, the Golf Tournament, and countless student performances and parent events filled the year with connection, pride and shared joy. These moments were made possible through the incredible dedication of our parent volunteers and the generosity of our supporters, whose commitment strengthens every corner of school life.
As we embrace our new name, Lauremont School, we are deeply grateful to our community for helping us build a future filled with belonging, engagement and opportunity for all.

ANNUAL GIVING Thank you to all our donors
The Lauremont Annual Giving Campaign for the Titan Fund supports significant school priorities as well as emerging opportunities that arise throughout the year. This Fund allows us to continue growing as a leading independent school and to expand the learning experiences we offer students at every level. While tuition covers the essential day-to-day operations of the school, gifts to the Lauremont Titan Fund provide the flexibility to invest in enhancements, upgrades and new programs that directly benefit our students.
In 2024-2025, Titan Fund priorities included major improvements to our Lower School playground, continued development of our new Performing Arts Centre, and expanded support for Outdoor Learning and Sustainability initiatives. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the Lauremont Titan Fund is establishing a strong foundation for innovative, student-centered projects and programs for years to come.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the individuals and families whose support made this possible.

04 FINANCIALS
MESSAGE FROM THE FINANCE CHAIR
ANGELA GROZA CHAIR OF THE FINANCE AND AUDIT COMMITTEE
I
am pleased to share with you a summary of Lauremont School’s financial position for the last academic year, compiled from our audited financial statements.
The most significant accomplishment was the achievement of our highest ever enrolment, a milestone that reflects the strength of our academic program, the dedication of our faculty and staff, and the trust that families place in our mission and values. This growth not only enriches our classrooms with a vibrant diversity of learners but also strengthens the financial foundation upon which we plan for the school’s future.
With this encouraging momentum, the Finance Committee has remained deeply committed to prudent financial management. We continue to prioritize investing in people, programs and facilities that will directly benefit students. Our faculty and staff are at the heart of our mission, and supporting them with competitive compensation, professional development, and the tools they need to excel remains a top priority.
As stewards of the school’s resources, we remain focused on ensuring the long-term financial sustainability of the School. Responsible budgeting, conservative forecasting and a commitment to building reserves help protect the school from the current economic uncertainty, while enabling thoughtful innovation. Financial sustainability is not a one-year goal but an ongoing obligation–one that requires balancing immediate needs with long-term strategy.
While tuition fees constitute the largest share of the school’s operating revenue, philanthropic support plays a vital role in ensuring that we can implement our future plans and we are deeply grateful to the families and alumni whose generosity strengthens every aspect of school life. Donations to the Titan Fund and future capital projects allow us to continue to enhance the student experience beyond what tuition alone makes possible.
On behalf of the Finance Committee, thank you for your continued trust and partnership. Together, we can ensure that the school remains both financially sound and deeply committed to providing an exceptional education for every student.
