St. Lawrence offers many opportunities for my child to grow in his strength in GOD, his education capabilities as well as socially. We have had 5 children graduate from this amazing school and to go onto NDP and Country Day.The Principal is absolutely wonderful and has taken so much pride in making this school one of the best in the Metropolitan area. Our family feels truly blessed to be here along with many of the other families.
