The academic program
AVRO Academy is a specialized independent high school in midtown Toronto, inspected by the Ministry of Education, teaching the full Ontario curriculum toward the OSSD. Since 2010, we have helped students navigate the real academic challenges of Grades 9 to 12 with the practical skills they need after high school and the confidence to think independently, analytically, and critically.
Our academic year is divided into four semesters of eight to ten weeks each. Shorter semesters keep the workload manageable and keep learned material fresh, so students are not carrying a full year of courses at once. It is a calmer rhythm that suits students who do their best work when the pace is right for them.
Because our classes stay small, teachers can build individual study plans around each student’s schedule, interests, and learning style. That is what we mean by learning that fits the student: we meet your teen where they are, adjust the pace, and build on strengths rather than forcing one way of learning. Along the way, students learn how to learn, recognizing and relying on their own strengths so the progress lasts.

Learning beyond the classroom
A real education happens in more than one setting. AVRO builds in experiential and ecological learning, leadership, and travel so students grow as whole people, not just as test-takers.
An ecological mindset
Our approach helps students understand how they fit into the natural world, explored across four areas that grow with them through each grade: physical, intellectual, emotional, and environmental.
Travel for credit
Twice a year, students can earn an elective credit through travel that combines socializing, physical activity, and real learning. Past trips have taken students to Costa Rica, Thailand, Cambodia, and Ecuador.
Leadership and peer support
Our Grade 11 CIT Leadership and Peer Support course (GPP3O) helps students at summer camps build communication, teamwork, and conflict-management skills, and apply them in real leadership roles.

Questions about our programs
What programs does AVRO Academy offer?
AVRO offers full-time and part-time/evening enrolment, individualized study, a therapeutic program, summer credits, course repeats, travel-for-credit, and one-to-one tutoring, all on the Ontario curriculum toward the OSSD.
Can my teen take a single course or study part-time?
Yes. Many students take one or two courses part-time or in the evening to recover a credit, get ahead, or ease back into school before moving to full-time.
What is AVRO’s therapeutic program?
It pairs Ontario-curriculum credits with built-in mental-health support for teens whose anxiety or depression has interrupted school, so they keep earning credits while they stabilize.
Does AVRO offer summer school for credits?
Yes. AVRO’s summer credits let a student earn or upgrade an OSSD credit in a focused, small-class format, whether to get ahead or recover a course from the year.
How do I enrol my teen at AVRO?
Start by booking a visit or calling the registrar at (647) 352-6060. AVRO reviews the student’s history and goals, then recommends the program and course load that fit.
