Lester B Pearson 

School for the Arts

Lester B. Pearson School for the Arts was established in 1989. This school, one of very few of its type in the Province of Ontario, offers an enriched Arts program in dance, drama, visual arts and music. It also offers a complete academic curriculum, consistent with the program offered in all elementary schools under the jurisdiction of the Thames Valley District School Board. All students who attend Pearson participate fully in classes in the four Arts. The school stresses the importance of Arts education as a component of a complete educational experience. The program is intended to develop aesthetic appreciation, awareness of a relationship among the Arts strands, and a lifelong appreciation of the Arts.
