Northlea is a dual track school offering English programs from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8, and French Immersion programs starting in Senior Kindergarten.

Northlea Elementary and Middle School is located in Leaside

Leaside is right in the centre of the city, but it feels like a village. The area takes its name from William Lea and the Lea family, who settled there in the early years of the nineteenth century. It has developed into a shopping destination filled with boutiques and restaurants that line Bayview Avenue. Demographically, the Leaside community is made up predominantly of single-family homes housing upper-middle-class families. The southern tip of the neighbourhood is known as Bennington Heights.
