Sidney Ledson Institute

Our goal is to allow even very young minds to enjoy the fruits of learning. Our highly trained teaching specialists lead children along the tested path that, throughout history, has yielded intellectual titans: John Stewart Mill, Jeremy Bentham, Karl Witte, William James Sidis, Norbert Wiener and others. The exceptional accomplishments of our children have been described in numerous newspaper and magazine reports, and filmed more than a dozen times for TV programs. The school is the visible expression of the philosophy embodied in Sidney Ledson's books, Give Your Child Genius IQ and Teach Your Child to Read in Just 10 Minutes a Day. Since 1980, when the Institute was founded, thousands of children have secured superior intelligence and carried a tradition of excellence from their preschool years through to their intensive grade level curriculum. Our SSAT prep program has brought many of our students into the 99th percentile in SSAT performance and admission into the top post-secondary institutions in Canada. To maintain the highest quality in education, we must maintain smaller class sizes. Thus, admission will be granted based on prospective students' performance on the admission assessment. Children under 2 years of age are accepted on a first-come basis.
