Finding the Right “Educational-Fit”

 

For many parents and their children, finding an educational facility that successfully "fits" the individual has been a journey of hurdles and heartache. It is a journey that may not help build the self-confidence necessary for children to grow as a learner and an individual. However there is a centrally-located, Ottawa-based school and its staff that go above and beyond to provide the right “fit” and the tools to increase confidence in every individual.

Heritage Academy of Learning Excellence is a not-for-profit private school located in the heart of Ottawa.
