Gibraltar Leadership Academy, a registered non-profit organization, was founded in 2017 by a dedicated group of Muslim educators to serve the diverse Muslim community in the Greater Toronto Area. At GLA, we take pride in offering a well-rounded education that extends beyond the classroom, providing our students with a strong academic foundation and a wealth of extracurricular opportunities to help them thrive in all aspects of life.
At GLA, our mission has always been to empower students to make a meaningful impact and create a better tomorrow. We don’t rely on special formulas for admission; instead, we take a holistic approach, carefully reviewing each applicant’s academic and personal profile. We seek students who are eager to work hard, strive for excellence, and develop the leadership skills needed to inspire change.
The Gibraltar Leadership Academy strives to instil Islamic character in our students, ensuring their development as socially responsible citizens of Canada.
We diligently prepare our youth to excel in all areas of life, with a particular focus on academics and extra-curricular opportunities. Our students have gone on to pursue fulfilling careers in both religious and secular spheres, while holding meaningful leadership roles in the community. Our highly qualified, energetic teachers and support staff ensure that our students receive the very best education and opportunities possible.
We provide methods for students to enhance their leadership skills through experiential learning opportunities such as cooperative education, entrepreneurial pursuits, and community engagement.
The Gibraltar leadership Academy aims to provide each student a diverse education in safe, supportive environment that promotes self discipline, motivation and excellence in learning.
Through an enriched school day and dedicated staff, students will be given the attention needed to master subject material that will provide a deeper understanding of the course content.
Students will revive their knowledge and practice of Islam through exploration of their faith, acts of worship, and interactions with each other. The focus will be to teach students to live the tradition of Islam in a modern day context.
