Experiential Learning
At LA, we prepare students to make a positive impact by encouraging them to get involved in various school activities and engage in service and learning opportunities beyond the classroom.
We promote understanding of how we all depend on each other and the environment, starting with taking care of our campus in North York and extending to our wider community.
Social Impact Practicum
In the twelfth grade, students participate in discussions, workshops, and classes focused on social justice and community impact. They work in small groups to research, develop, and carry out a project that benefits the community outside of campus. Projects may involve creating and teaching courses for public middle school students, collaborating with non-profit organizations in Toronto, or leading discussions and workshops on social change within the LA community.
Common Classroom
Common Classroom offers a variety of engaging, non-graded learning opportunities on a rotating basis every week. Teachers, students, and alumni lead activities, classes, and workshops covering a wide range of topics such as art projects, political discussions, and physical activities. Students are encouraged to explore different offerings throughout the year.
Service and Community-Based Learning
LA encourages students to become lifelong learners and active global citizens by connecting them with opportunities in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Students gain practical skills while working on social and environmental justice projects in their communities. They organize advocacy campaigns, fundraisers, and service activities, including cooking and serving meals at shelters, volunteering for urban farming, teaching English to refugees online, tutoring younger students, leading workshops on sustainable fashion, hosting art workshops for social justice, and distributing voter information pamphlets.
