Learn By Doing
The greatest adventure for every child is discovering their own individual path to knowledge, understanding and awareness.
Our mission is to educate the whole child: spiritually, academically, emotionally and physically. We provide a climate of excellence that affirms that as educators we can and do make a difference. The heart of learning begins here.

At St. Leo’s School we believe in:
- The worth and dignity of every member of our school family
- Promoting and appreciating the value of working together in a community of
learners - Providing a challenging curriculum that responds and respects the needs of
individual learners
