Dear Parents, Students, and Friends,
We hope this message finds you well and you enjoy your summer.
We are writing to share an important update regarding our school’s location.
As you know, we had planned to relocate to the LIFPA Don Bosco school in Halifax starting in September 2025. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, LIFPA has informed us that they are not able to welcome us next year.
While this news was unexpected, we are happy to announce that we will be returning to our previous location, now known as Hydrostone Academy (formerly Shambhala School). We are extremely grateful to the Hydrostone Academy administration for welcoming us back, and we look forward to continuing our work in a space where our school has flourished.
Registration for the upcoming school year is now open and we look forward to seeing you on the first day of school on Thursday, September 18, 2025.
Thank you for your understanding, support, and flexibility as we make this transition.
Warm regards,
Your GHLS Board of Directors
