Raised in the Haliburton Highlands, a lifelong Ontario educator founded Highland Roots Learning Academy from a passion for helping students discover their strengths and build confidence in their learning and academic skills.

 

Just as strong roots provide strength, stability, and support for growth, The Academy is built on the belief that a solid educational foundation empowers students to thrive in their learning journey.  

 

This philosophy is deeply connected to both the owner of The Academy and the spirit of the region — resilient, resourceful, and rooted in the value of learning.  

​

This belief inspired the development of The R.O.O.T.S. Framework, a guiding educational approach that nurtures confidence, curiosity, and growth in every learner.​

​

Rooted in the communities of the Highlands and surrounding region, Highland Roots Learning Academy reflects the resilience of its people, the perseverance of its natural beauty, and the belief that education has the power to transform lives.
