Welcome to The St. Lawrence Christian Academy

The St. Lawrence Christian Academy opened it's doors to students and staff on September 10, 2007. Established by parents and teachers, this independent elementary day school is focused on academic excellence delivered with Christian values. We offer classes from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8.

At our school, learning is something everyone loves to do. It is the norm rather than the exception to hear happy kids talking about how much they like school. We think this can be attributed to three things: small class sizes, exceptional teachers and enthusiastic parents. Academic excellence extends beyond simply attaining the Ontario curriculum requirements. Additional programs ensure that all students are challenged and have a chance to learn the fundamentals.

At the St. Lawrence Christian Academy, parents and teachers work together to make our school excellent and to help our students reach for the stars.

Founder of JUMP Math comes to Brockville!

Any parent, teacher or citizen who has ever worried about kids not knowing math should plan to hear John Mighton speak. For those who aren’t familiar, JUMP is a highly effective program for teaching or tutoring math. The initials stand for Junior Undiscovered Math Prodigies. A professor at the University of Toronto, Dr. Mighton is the author of two popular books on the subject of teaching math,“The Myth of Ability,” and “The End of Ignorance.” Dr. Mighton travels internationally inspiring students, parents, and teachers about the doors that math can open for them. Mighton firmly believes that we underestimate the ability of our children. Far from being the language of a few, math is an accessible, usable, and desperately needed skill for today’s generation of young people. A humble and passionate man, Mighton shows parents and teachers how to turn math from an area of dread to a source of pride and success.

Mr. Mighton was invited to speak to students at The Great Math Challenge on February 23, a math day for grade 5 – 8 students in the area. After inspiring area students at the Math Challenge, Mighton will be speaking to parents and teachers at 5:00 at the Centennial Rd. Church and will be available afterwards for questions. The event is sponsored by The St. Lawrence Academy and there is no charge for admission. All are welcome. Anyone wishing more information about Mr. Mighton’s speaking event, or about participation in The Great Math Challenge, can contact The St. Lawrence Academy by calling 613-498 – 3333 or e-mailing This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Spirit Week 2009

Spirit Week at SLCA was a welcome break to the long winter. From Animal Kingdom Day, to Superhero Day, to Pajama Day, students and teachers had a great time dressing up in some very creative outfits. To end the week, on Red, White, And Pink Day, students participated in Jump Rope for Heart to raise money for The Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Winter Fun Day

Winter Fun Day was put on by the grade 7 and 8 class at the SLCA. After Christmas, the grade 7 and 8 students submitted a proposal to Miss Case: for the school to spend a Friday afternoon at Laurier hill. Grades 7 and 8 offered to organize transporation, games, snacks, and communication home to parents. Miss Case was in agreement, and the result was a great day for SLCA students.

The afternoon's activities included sculpture contests (the winner: a miniature cat), relay races up the hill (and down again), skating and sledding. These activities made for a great afternoon. Fortunately, the weather cooperated! Of course, the hot chocolate afterwards was tasty and warm!
