The YMCA Academy is an innovative secondary school for youth needing or wanting a small learning community, where they are challenged to create their future through a differentiated learning process.

We are an independent school, offering a full-time program designed to engage the whole person, through learning that is clearly relevant and experiential.

Our highly professional and experienced teachers are committed, and dedicated, to working with students who need an engaging and interactive environment for learning and success in school.

Special Features:

• Grade 9 and 10 offered at Applied levels; Grade 11 and 12 focused on student's career goals, leading to 'workplace' or college. (Note: If your child is possibly university bound, there are many alternatives. We would be delighted to discuss the other options with you.)
• Computer education program in a wireless laptop environment; media studies; digital photography; teleconferencing; project-based learning - using the latest technologies of Web 2.0 including blogs, wikis, and other social networking tools.
• Remediation staff working with exceptional students including students with mild learning disabilities.
• Participation in YMCA health, fitness, and recreation facilities and outdoor adventure camps.
