Principal Kathleen D'Uva

Principal's Message

I am honored to serve as the principal at Lorvale Academy, and I look forward to working with all of the students to help them achieve their goals.

I have spent the last thirty years working in public and private education, with the last twenty years in International Education. I understand the challenges facing students where English is their second language and have worked with teachers to develop the curriculum that allows for the development of English proficiency, while obtaining the necessary requirements for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma and gaining acceptance to one of Canada's top universities!

I have always been committed to academic excellence and to the development of the whole person and been proud to cultivate the diverse talents of my students. I strongly believe that students should be encouraged to do their personal best, invest effort into their learning, and take up opportunities that arise to showcase their talents, explore their interests, and continually develop new knowledge and skills.

Lorvale is located in Toronto, Ontario, home to some of the best universities in the world. At Lorvale, we are dedicated to preparing each and every student for life beyond high school and we will work with each student to earn acceptance to one of the prestigious universities. Lorvale provides a rigorous academic program which offers our students a comprehensive education in a private school setting. Lorvale gives students a memorable, student-centered experience that focuses on critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. Our emphasis on 21st century skills prepares students to excel in university and their careers. We encourage a positive learning environment, where our students and staff understand that a campus that is positive, respectful, innovative, and disciplined, creates a positive climate for all to achieve their excellence. The many accomplishments and achievements of our students reflect a shared dedication by our statt, students, parents and community to provide the best learning opportunities for all our students.

At Lorvale, students are the centre of our approach to teaching and learning and we hold high expectations of student learning, leadership, participation and behaviour. Our staffs care about our students and are determined to be there for them throughout their experience at our school. As principal and a member of the overall team, I am committed to promoting the global initiative of English instruction and providing the best possible educational opportunities for our students, while building a solid foundation for expansion. We will keep our vision of maintaining a strong community of students, faculty, and staff that values learning, caring, and creativity. We will work together to insure that our students will excel and continue to be outstanding young men and women.
