Literacy and Mathematics Academy

There are no words to express how thankful we are for the wonderful educators at LAMA. The difference only 1 school year made in our son is incredible. If you are considering sending your child to this school, just know you will not regret it. Our son is thriving. He is happy and is included in every activity. Sending him to LAMA was the best decision we could ever have made.

My daughter has been going to lama since September of 2022. Once covid hit I homeschooled her for a couple of years. Someone i know recommended LAMA. From September to present my daughter is a completely different child. She has blossomed and has come out of her shell so so much from going there. She had anxiety in her previous school and getting her to go was always a challenge. She is excited to go to LAMA everyday. Her math was also something she had a hard time with. She has exceled so much since going there that she is now helping other kids in her class. The small classrooms means that the teachers can really focus on each child and give them the help and attention they need. My daughter has gained so much confidence that she has now played on the volleyball team. She did cross country and will soon be doing track and field. Her teachers are amazing and the principal pours her heart and soul into the school and the kids and it really shows. The principal and staff are always looking at fun and creative things to do while also learning in the process. LAMA has been indredible and i hope more kids have the chance to attend this amazing place.

Amazing! I have never met staff more engaged and passionate about the success of children. So fortunate to have my son attend full time. I had my own concerns about his transition but everyone was so involved and welcoming. It is amazing to see how quickly he adapted, built confidence and improved in such a short amount of time. Now I have a child who looks forward to school everyday, wanting to be the first one there and the last one to leave! Thank you Nicole and LAMA staff for putting the fun back into learning.

When I was in Grades 9 and 10, I was in need of a tutor for math! Before I had even met Nicole, I was struggling so much, and my grades were very low. I had struggled with math so much to the point where it had affected me mentally and affected my work ethic in other classes. This was when both my parents and I knew I needed a tutor. My parents happened to find her card in an office nearby and it was like fate had just appeared! a few weeks later, I started going to LAMA every week to get help in math and not only had my grades improved tremendously, but I was also understanding every piece of material that was given to me and I was enjoying it!!! I went from being an average grade student to and honor roll student in a year! I also had the chance to complete my volunteer hours there and had a total of 120 hours, by the end of last year! If you need help in any of the areas of Math and Literacy, I strongly suggest LAMA! Exceptional Service, Great People, and so much more! I know for a fact I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for Nicole and her amazing team!!!!!!! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. 100% recommend this place!

Our son began attending LAMA in September 2021. He is absolutely excelling in academics and is thriving all around. He would attend school on the weekends if it was an option! The support and community at LAMA is truly one of a kind. I don't think I have ever met teachers more dedicated to ensuring their students are not only learning beyond the regular curriculum but are having fun at the same time. This is an environment where student's individual needs really are taken to heart, students are encouraged, supported and truly involved in all aspects of their learning. Couldn't imagine my child not attending and could not recommend LAMA more.

If I had made a list of criteria a school would need for my children….. LAMA would check all the boxes and more!!! Every single teacher and care giver in this school has heart, creativity, empathy, compassion and passion for making children thrive in a nurturing environment! My children have gained a copious amount of self confidence in this school year. After homeschooling for 3 years…..I never thought I would have found an amazing school such as this one to care for my children!! You could never get this care attention for your children, from the every declining public school system!We commute 35 min each way and would drive further if we had to to get to LAMA!!!

Our daughter is in grade 6 and arrived in November 2022. She is flourishing. If you’re looking for a real education, want your children to be equipped with the critical foundational skills and knowledge to be effective communicators in the world, and a school that can see and harness your children’s individual gifts, look no further than Lama. We couldn’t be happier and just wish she had entered earlier.

My daughter started at the school in January. She has made amazing gains in literacy and math. She has also blossomed as a learner - her confidence and positive attitude is amazing. They care for the kids - ensuring they have positive peer relationships, and create truly individualized programs for each student. They have sports teams that are inclusive and encouraging, and great arts experiences. As a parent with a background in education and special education, I am completely impressed and highly recommend this school for kids who need programming for individualized needs.

LAMA has been a blessing to my family. When we moved to the Stoney Creek area, we were looking for a school that would not only challenge my son academically but also one he would have fun and socialize - LAMA is ALL of this and much more. My son enjoys his school and told me he never wants to leave LAMA as it is AWESOME." LAMA's teachers are wonderful

My daughter has been going there for the past 2 years and absolutely adores school! Nicole is so wonderful and always listens to any concerns or silly questions the parents have, the kids get a lot of nurturing and learn so so much there, I'm so impressed by how much my daughter learns everyday. The small class sizes are wonderful in ensuring every kid gets the care they need while learning to be independent!They also have a ton of fun activities almost every single day!
