Dear parents and students
Welcome to
Unionville International
Academy
For many years, the teaching team of Unionville International Academy has been committed to providing students with a high-quality education. Through a diverse and engaging curriculum, we encourage students to develop comprehensively, explore the world with curiosity, and pursue their dreams with confidence.
​
At Unionville International Academy, we integrate the British educational philosophy with the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) curriculum, combining the strengths of both systems to provide students with a broader and more internationally oriented learning experience.
​
Our school is proud to be the second school in Canada authorized to offer both Cambridge International A-Level (CIE) and Pearson Edexcel A-Level programs, providing students with internationally recognized academic pathways and strong preparation for higher education.
​
Success is not measured by academic results alone. In addition to helping students gain admission to universities, we aim to equip them with the knowledge, skills, and independence needed to succeed in their future studies and careers. Achieving these goals requires the joint efforts of students, teachers, and parents.
​
As the Principal of Unionville International Academy, I sincerely hope that every student will take responsibility for their own future and strive to reach their full potential. On behalf of our entire school community, I warmly welcome students to join Unionville International Academy and look forward to working together with students, teachers, and parents to create a bright future.

Our Mission, Purpose, and Beliefs
Unionville International Academy is a private school located in Toronto, Ontario that opened in February 2018. The school is regulated by the Ontario Ministry of Education and offers English-speaking classes, with ESL programs available for international students who need language assistance. The school's vision is to help students achieve their Ontario Secondary School Diploma and become career-ready critical thinkers.
​
The mission is to assist students in achieving success academically and in the real world, with a focus on growth and development, unique teaching concepts, and caring for international students. The school values equity, fairness, lifelong learning, and mental health. The school has seen an increase in enrollment over the past four years, with 50 students currently enrolled, including online students from foreign countries.
​
The school's classroom instruction is a mix of traditional lecture formats, competency-based, on-site, and remote learning, with a focus on group work, independent work, and experimental instruction. Each teacher pre-plans a lesson plan and summarizes key points at the end of each lesson, answers any questions, and assigns homework or tasks for the upcoming day. Technology is integrated into instruction, with interactive instruction facilitated using Zoom's "breakout rooms" feature during the pandemic.
