Founded in 1991, Traditional Learning Academy (TLA) has offered a comprehensive education led by dedicated teachers committed to academic excellence and character development in an atmosphere grounded in the Catholic Faith. With a focus on nurturing individual talents and fostering a love of faith, truth, and virtue, TLA provides a supportive environment where students thrive academically, socially, morally, and spiritually. Whether it’s in the classroom, on the playing field, engaging in service opportunities, traveling abroad, or taking part in outdoor pursuits, every aspect of our school community is designed to inspire growth, foster excellence, a lifelong love of learning, and an increase in the love of God and neighbour. Our goal is to prepares students to become informed, faithful, compassionate adults, equipped to succeed in an ever-changing world.
Traditional Learning Academy offers a structured academic program which provides a setting rooted in Catholic values and traditions in which all students are safe, accepted, and respected. TLA encourages the pursuit of academic excellence, promotes the fine and performing arts, and fosters sound character development and spiritual growth through learning, loving, and living the Catholic Faith. The program complies with, and goes beyond the curriculum requirements of the BC Ministry of Education, and is offered in response to parents seeking a traditional approach to teaching and learning.
The school offers instruction through a structured, systematic approach which presents skill development in a sequenced manner, and builds upon what is already learned.
Our traditional approach can be described as incorporating the best teaching practices which have proven effective over time, but which also embraces more contemporary techniques in instruction which promote student success.
