The
Learning Common School
At The Learning Common school, we have earned our trusted reputation within the private education sector thanks to our specialized teaching methods. We have developed a result-driven, full-time education program that meets the needs of today’s unique learners.
Creative Thinkers
Our teaching approach fosters creativity and innovation allowing children to explore their strengths without the fear of failure.
Self Assured
Our methods are designed with unique learners (ADHD, Dyslexia) in mind. Helping them to embrace their unique learning abilities, driving self-esteem.
Passionate Learners
Our ethos is to help our students rediscover the joy of learning. We take them from “school is boring” to “I can’t wait for Monday!”.
Collaborative
Our peer-to-peer approach allows students to learn from each other, through healthy communication and by building things together.
Problems in the traditional education system
Ontario’s current education system has an continually growing number of deep seated issues preventing unique learners from advancing:
Lack of training and resources for learners with exceptionalities leaving them unprepared for the high school classroom
Political unrest has led to infighting among teachers, administrators, and the Ministry
Limited resources have made adaptability and innovation impossible for such a huge institution
Large class sizes with a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t cater to students’ individual strengths
Out-dated curriculum that’s not relevant for the changing marketplace
Lack of community and empathy which breeds competition vs. collaboration

Reflection
“Sending our daughter to The Learning Common has been the best decision we have made in regards to her education. She loves going to school everyday! The teachers at TLC are engaging, patient and kind. The small size of the school allows for a lower student to teacher ratio, ensuring students get the attention they need while building their confidence to ask questions and participate in class discussions.”
Words From Our Community
“This is our first year with TLC, but it has already been life changing for our family. The boys are absolutely thriving because the creative, responsive and empathic staff understand how to teach children with learning disabilities. They are actually excited to attend school, have more self-confidence, and demonstrate better behaviour in the short time they have been with TLC. The stress level for us parents has also dropped significantly now that the boys are appropriately supported - even virtual learning was painless!”
