About Our Campus
Blyth Academy Etobicoke is our newest Ontario campus offering experiential private education for students in Grades 9 – 12 in Toronto’s west end. This brand-new campus facility provides students with the opportunity to learn within a bright, modern, and spacious environment specifically designed to allow for personalized learning in small classes. Classrooms encourage discussions in which every student is heard.
Located in one of the city’s most vibrant neighbourhoods, there are plenty of opportunities for learning that extend beyond the walls of our classrooms. With experiential learning at the forefront of our approach to education, Blyth Academy Etobicoke students will access many local amenities including High Park, the Old Mill trails, and the Humber River. We really benefit from our location — within minutes, we can be in a green space partaking in outdoor education experiences or at a world-renowned gallery or museum.

Virtual Learning At Blyth Academy Etobicoke
Blyth Academy Etobicoke continues its virtual classes this week. We chatted with Principal, Laurie Foley, about how they are using their virtual platform for class lessons and discussions.
A Peek Into Our Virtual Classrooms
Though our doors are temporarily closed, the minds of our students will remain open. Our students will continue their academic journey through virtual classrooms.
Important Update Due To COVID-19 Concerns
The Ontario government has made the decision to close all publicly funded schools for two weeks following March Break due to COVID-19 concerns. The safety of our students is Blyth Academy’s number one priority. All Blyth Academy campuses will also be closed from March 14-April 5.
What Makes Our Campus Unique?
We are a relationship-based community of teachers and learners; we are supportive of one-another and welcoming to all. Our students in grades 9 through 12 work together to continuously improve the Blyth Etobicoke experience for all. Our students are connected to the school not only through academics but also through extra-curricular activities and school events, and they drive what happens here. The communities around our school – Swansea, Bloor West Village, Etobicoke, Toronto – play an integral part in shaping our school community. Whether we’re having a photography class on the banks of the Humber River, a phys ed class at High Park, or visiting a local business for our Entrepreneurship class, we are connected to our community and our city through experiential learning.
Message From Our Principal
Our faculty team works with students to engage them in a collaborative learning process that leads them toward achievement through supporting and nurturing their passions. Ultimately, everyone here strives to be happy, healthy, and successful in their pursuits.
With an average class size of eight, we offer learning opportunities where discussion and exploration are at the forefront. Students learn and grow academically and personally when engaged in our dynamic programming with a focus on experiential learning. We encourage our students to be critical and creative thinkers, as well as active participants in their own education and school community. We prepare each of our students to become a global citizen who can shape the world.

What our Families are Saying…
“This is my second year at Blyth Academy Etobicoke. I will be attending university starting in the fall where I plan on studying either Health Sciences or Neuroscience. Before coming to Blyth, I had attended several public schools, but didn’t really feel like I was achieving at my full potential. The small class sizes and hands-on instruction have really helped me to reach my learning goals. Something else I really enjoy about Blyth is that there are lots of extra-curricular activities and clubs to be a part of. Last year I was a part of the Forum on Global Affairs and this year, I am on Student Council and I participated in the Blyth-wide Model UN. I would one hundred percent recommend Blyth to any students considering coming.”
“Our daughter’s experience at Blyth has been empowering and welcoming. She is thriving academically and her confidence has soared because of Blyth’s experiential approach to learning. The teachers and staff are incredibly engaged, caring and relatable. They are genuinely good people who work tirelessly to provide a hands-on and impactful learning experience that we never thought was possible. It is not an exaggeration when we say our daughter has had a truly transformational experience at Blyth. We only wish we enrolled her sooner.”
