Golden Wings Gala - April 24th, 2027

Celebrating 40 Years of The Laureate® Academy

Friends of The Laureate Academy is proud to present the Golden Wings Gala, a special evening celebrating 40 years of impact, resilience, and transformation at The Laureate® Academy.

 

For four decades, The Laureate® Academy has been a place where students rediscover confidence, belonging, and the joy of learning — often after years of struggle elsewhere. This milestone celebration honours the students, families, educators, and community members who have made that journey possible, and looks ahead to the next generation of learners who will follow.
