About The YMCA Academy
Inspired and supported by the YMCA of Greater Toronto, The Academy is a small, innovative secondary school flourishing in downtown Toronto. Created to respond to unique learning needs, the school integrates the Ontario Ministry of Education?s secondary school curriculum with practical life skills. Our personal differentiated approach, specialized programs and individualized use of assistive technology are ideally suited to those students with mild learning disabilities or learning style differences.
- 23+ years of legacy
- Established 2003.
- Summer school
- Summer programs available.
- Financial aid available
- Through the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign (as well as the United Way, the YMCA and other charitable organizations) individuals and families in need can participate in YMCA programs and services they otherwise could not afford. Within our available resources and program capacity, every effort is made to accommodate all who wish to participate at the YMCA. Families must pay a portion of the fees based on their financial circumstances. No one is denied access to any YMCA program or service solely on an inability to pay the full fee.
