The Academy is organized into three
companies corresponding to Junior, Intermediate and Senior Divisions. Each company is organized
around specific developmental priorities relative to age and grade level. Whereas each
company has a particular focus, the program as a whole is united by a common philosophy and
method; academic and athletic success require coaching to ensure a continuum between effort and achievement.

Land Academy is a place for teaching high spirited boys.
Academic routine is combined with high levels of physical
activity, authentic leadership, coaching and
supervision. Our programme has shown itself to have
significant success in dealing with boys who are not working
to their potential or who have been diagnosed as Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), and Learning Delayed (LD).
JUNIOR - A COMPANY (GRADES 6-8)
A Company focuses on preparing boys to enter high school with the necessary
personal and academic tools to make possible their future success.
It provides remediation of the basic academic skills of literacy and mathematics while providing stimulating and fun outdoor activities.
A Company boys receive double the amount of instructional time
normally devoted to mathematics and English literacy.
Learning is extended from the classroom to the natural
outdoors whenever appropriate.
INTERMEDIATE - B COMPANY (GRADES 9-10)
B Company continues to develop
personal maturity and fundamental academic skills while preparing students ultimately
for senior level courses. The academic program creates a solid foundation for success
by opening up as many future career options as possible.
Outdoor activities are incorporated in this program to further encourage fitness, initiative and a sense of adventure.
SENIOR - C COMPANY (GRADES (11-12)
C Company focuses upon successfully placing each student in a program of their choosing at a university or
college. Academic counselling provides choices and options
in relation to the levels of academic performance that will be required for successful admission to post-secondary
programs.
