Our Students
At City Academy, students come first. We work with students to provide an optimum learning environment based on how they learn best – their success is our success. We value creative and outside of the box thinking and we are proud to help our students do the same. This provides them with the skillset, drive and confidence they need to reach their post-secondary goals and gain entry into educational institutions in Canada, the United States and abroad. With our experienced hands-on approach students at City Academy receive the support they need to achieve their academic potential.
Most students in our school are at the grade 11 and 12 level, however many grade 9 and 10 students who fit the profile of needing this unique approach to education have completed their high school career with us. They come to us from all over the GTA, different parts of Ontario, and even as far away as Italy, Dubai and China. With our compact size, and the flexible structure of our timetable, we are able to respond with an educational program that meets the needs of a wide variety of students.
The diversity of our student body is something we are very proud of. At City Academy, it is vital that every student feels welcome and we work hard to ensure that our school is a safe space for each student. From LGBTQ+ students, to students from diverse backgrounds, cultures and religions, City Academy is a mosaic of truly wonderful and inspiring people.
