The Beckett School was founded by Garth and Marjorie Beckett in 1980, when both were on the piano faculty at Wilfrid Laurier University. The original vision of the Beckett School was to create a space where students in all the arts – music, visual arts, drama – could flourish.
In 2016, the Beckett School became the Beckett School at Laurier. In 2023, the school became the Laurier Academy of Music and Arts and has continued the Beckett’s original vision to foster excellence and a love for the arts in students of all ages.
We are located at 190 Lester Street, Waterloo on the Wilfrid Laurier University campus. Our facility offers inspiring instructional space, a beautiful early childhood music area and a recital room for our frequent performances. A secondary location is located near Pioneer Park at 68 Biehn Drive, Kitchener.
