Blyth Academy’s Response to COVID-19
Measures put in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19 have caused unprecedented disruptions to teaching and learning across Ontario. Blyth Academy has a robust plan in place to ensure that our curriculum continues to be delivered in an engaging and meaningful way. We have also taken measures to support private and public schools across the Province, including providing over 200 schools with Blyth Academy Online e-learning resources at no cost. As always, our team stands ready to assist parents and students in finding individualized solutions for academic challenges faced during this difficult time.
Blyth Academy Virtual Classrooms
All Blyth Academy schools are operating real-time online, interactive classes until campus facilities reopen. Our small-class sizes and individualized approach to teaching and learning are now being accomplished using virtual classrooms. Days are structured similar to our regular schedule; beyond leading virtual classes, our teachers are setting daily goals with their students and hosting office hours; attendance and student progress are recorded and made visible to parents through our Edsby platform. Applications are open for the 2020-2021 academic year beginning in September.

Shaping the World
Our primary focus is to enhance academic achievement to prepare all students for post secondary and beyond. Ninety per cent of our students receive first-choice university acceptance. In addition, the majority of our students demonstrate an improvement in their attitude towards learning and their marks have reflected this academic growth. Credits earned at Blyth Academy are universally accepted and highly respected, and our students have gone on to attend top universities, both domestic and abroad.
Here at Blyth Academy, we tailor the curriculum to the individual student, not the other way around. By taking into account each student’s learning style and extra-curricular responsibilities, we are able to customize a plan unique to the individual.
