We Feature

A Proud History

The first Leslieville School was a one room school house. It was opened almost 150 years ago and the Principal was Alexander Muir who wrote the song, "A Maple Leaf Forever." Of course our community has changed throughout the decades. The present school was built in 1962 but we still celebrate our history.

Today it is a vibrant community and it served by an outstanding school. Leslieville has a reputation for achievement and for providing a balanced educational experience. Our parents are active partners in our schools success. The children have every opportunity to excel in an environment which will both challenge them and support their growth.
