Weldon Park Academy

Weldon Park Academy was a private school located at 451 Ridout Street North in London, Ontario that closed down in 2004. The school offered students a contiguous education from Montessori Casa up to OAC and was a member of the Conference of Independent Schools. The Lower School (grades one to five) and Middle School (grades six to eight), were among the best in the city and the staff genuinely cared for the school and its students. The school taught students at an advanced level; students regularly learned mathematics, science, and French a grade early. Weldon Park Academy attracted the children of many of London's elite, while many foreign students chose to study in Upper School.

Students were required to wear uniforms while at school. In Lower School, males wore grey pants, a dress shirt, and a red vest emblazoned with the school crest, while females wore a blouse and tunic. In Middle School, males added a school tie to their uniform, while females adopted a kilt with white shirt, red vest, and tie. In Upper School, males and females dropped the vest in favour of a blazer.
