CA believes that high-quality learning is a transformative and purposeful pursuit leading to the development of understandings, skills, and dispositions. It occurs in an equitable and engaging environment where intentional and authentic experiences foster agency, viewpoint diversity, and a sense of community.

Our educational ethos emphasizes inquiry, reflection, and impact: Critical inquiry is an essential component of profound learning, which enables students to become active participants in their educational journey. They learn to generate meaningful questions, and produce thoughtful answers. Learning at Canadian Academy is also marked by a focus on reflection. Students are taught to reflect upon ideas and experiences to inform subsequent thinking. Ultimately, the goal of learning at Canadian Academy is to encourage students to enthusiastically engage in actions that positively impact the world. Whether through service projects, exhibitions, or collaborations beyond the classroom, students consider the impact of their actions and choices, both on their own lives and on those around them. 

Canadian Academy is proud to be an IB World School, and our curriculum is based on the International Baccalaureate framework. For an understanding of our school divisions, see the table below.
