How We Learn

    Welcome!

    Lesley Ellis is an independent school that offers children from Preschool to Grade 6, an innovative educational experience in an outstanding academic program.

  • Inventive Curriculum

    If you saw teams of upper elementary students stacking marshmallows and chocolate pieces between graham crackers, you might think they’re engaged in a cooking project.

  • Celebrating Differences

    In kindergarten class, teacher Liam Nolan prefers to tell stories that are interactive, allowing the children to stop the action and help shape what happens next.
