Unique Features:
Individualized Education for Each Student
We deliver the curriculum set out by the Ontario Ministry of Education, but what sets us apart is our ability to tailor education to the individual student. Our carefully curated individualized structure allows our guidance teams and teachers to consider each student’s learning style and areas of interest when customizing an academic plan unique to them.
Dynamic Restructuring of Traditional Schooling
Students Grades 9 to 12 follow a two-semester, four-term schedule, with only two subjects per term. This dynamic restructuring of the traditional academic school year promotes a deeper understanding of subjects, and exploration of interests of study, and in turn, prepares them for acceptance into the post-secondary program of their choice.
