I cannot adequately express what an exceptional school OLSWA is, and how blessed Canada is to have such a place! I also cannot thank God enough for leading me there, and allowing me to be a part of the Academy's early foundational years. Each of my three years there holds its own precious memories for me, for I received so much more than solid intellectual formation. The small community life fostered life-time friendships, and it was in Barry's Bay where I learned the art of balancing academics, spirituality, and recreation.

Thanks to the Academy, I feel more than sufficiently prepared to successfully complete my senior year at Franciscan University of Steubenville. More importantly, I shall continue throughout my life to acknowledge Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Academy as playing an essential role in the formation of my character.

Anyone brave enough to face the challenge of the unique "Academy experience" is highly encouraged to do so, for you will not regret it! Thanks again to all of those who help to make OLSWA the place that it is. I shall continue to keep you all in my daily prayers.

Long live the Academy!
