STUDY AT BLYTH ACADEMY
It’s not enough to “make-do” with education in the age of COVID-19. We need to ensure our children are not only safe but prepared for what comes next and ready to succeed in an unknown future. Our small class sizes, individualized learning, and student support ensure that each and every learner is prepared for the opportunities coming their way.
At Blyth Academy, each of our eleven campuses is a thriving school community. Our average class size of fewer than 10 students, passionate and engaging teachers, and personalized approach inspire students and get them excited about their education. Our schools are a place where students are safe, seen, and celebrated for who they are and what they contribute.
Applications for the 2021-2022 academic year are now open for students Grades 4 to 12.

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.
