About
At M.E. LaZerte School our students make us great. Students and staff work daily to make the world a better place, celebrate diversity, express creativity, or explore an interest just because it’s
fun. The expertise and mentorship opportunities at M.E. LaZerte gives students a chance to work in teams and gain valuable skills for success in life. There are unlimited ways to get involved! Students learn
how to lead, co-ordinate, mentor and implement fun and meaningful activities to build school spirit and serve societal needs through community support initiatives. As a UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization) and International Baccalaureate (IB) school our students are taught to think globally and act locally as they seek to make a difference in the world.
