Founded in 1994, Nancy Campbell Academy is a preparatory school intending to provide a strong academic program, a foundation in character development, and to deliver students prepared to succeed in university. Gordon Naylor, the founder, remains as principal, giving valuable consistency to leadership. Over that time, curriculum was developed to address the overarching concepts of world citizenship, consistent with the provisions of the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It can risk sounding lofty, though the school works to ground those ideals within the day to day. “If we can create an environment that is based in an ethical way of doing things,” says Naylor, “then we can demonstrate what we’re about, rather than just posting something on the wall saying this is what we’d like to be.” Certainly, reports from students, parents, and alumni vouch for the success of the approach. Students are encouraged not just to consider the concepts of ethical citizenship, but to think about what they, personally, can bring to the world. Academic achievement is a source of social capital within the setting; this is a place where it’s very much cool to be smart, engaged, and curious. The student body is diverse, and the program is designed specifically to address the needs of international learners arriving from overseas. The program, in turn, is strengthened by the breadth of and diversity of perspectives that they bring with them. The size of the student population—enrolment averages 80 students across the secondary grades—ensures that every member is known to faculty and peers, and feels part of the school community.

From Shanghai to Paris, from the Canadian Arctic to Argentina, Nancy
Campbell Academy has welcomed students from all over the world to
experience authentic happiness. As they pursue their academic studies they are
morally strengthened by our capacity-building programme. By strengthening
their ethical capability they are well prepared to make a difference to their
families, their communities and the world!
It is through the experience of learning to be of service to others as an integral
centre of our curriculum that they build on their strengths. Giving creates
happiness and joy. On our foundation of ‘Nineteen Moral Capabilities’, students
develop positive qualities, attitudes and skills while gaining insight thus motivating them to
build their inner moral architecture, so necessary to be successful.
We have demonstrated our capacity to inspire leaders of the future. Our students do their
best to contribute meaningfully, while achieving excellence in their academics! In the spirit of
the pursuit of happiness through service to humankind we are confident students will be
inspired to learn, to grow and achieve their true potential!
Warm Regards
Gordon Naylor
Principal
