WELCOMING INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Blyth Academy is an approved school on the Designated Learning Institution (DLI) list for Canada.  International students who are admitted to Blyth Academy are strongly encouraged to apply for a study visa immediately in order to begin in-person studies in Term 3 (February) or Term 4 (April). 

 

Students who are not comfortable or unable to travel to Canada due to the COVID-19 pandemic have the option of starting their studies virtually with Blyth Academy Orbit or with Blyth Academy Online (BAO).


Blyth Academy is a private school in Ontario with ten physical campuses and one virtual campus.  Each campus is designed to be a community of 80-200 students and has truly small class sizes and unparalleled teacher support.  Additionally, our international students have demonstrated significant improvement in English language ability and their marks reflect this academic growth.   

 

Blyth Academy offers high school (Grades 9 –12) at all of its campuses, as well as elementary school (Grades 5 – 8) at Burlington and Downsview Park, and middle school (Grades 6-8) at Whitby.   

 

Our primary focus is to enhance academic achievement to prepare all students for post-secondary studies. The Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) earned at Blyth Academy is globally accepted and highly respected, and our students have gone on to attend top universities, both domestic and abroad.  In fact, over 90% of our students receive first-choice post-secondary acceptance at universities including: 

  • McGill  
  • Queen’s University (Kingston, ON) 
  • University of Toronto 
  • University of Waterloo 
  • Western University (London, ON)

What our families are saying

Our family started the Blyth Academy ‘journey’ before we even came to Canada. Our daughter started with Blyth Academy through their online classes so that she would be able to join the right class, age wise, when we got to Canada. When we arrived from Australia our daughter started in school classes and the staff could not have been more accommodating and helpful in assisting her to settle in. Since then we have had a very positive experience with the school. All staff have always been available for a chat and advice when needed with very much an open-door policy and they seem to always be on the lookout for extra-curricular experiences which the students might be interested in.

Though our physical doors remain temporarily closed, the minds of our students stay open. Summer classes are continuing to meet on their regular daily schedules, in virtual classrooms with face-to-face instruction and peer interaction.  The Blyth Academy model of small class sizes, flexible scheduling and individualized approach have enabled us to remain faithful to our standards. Our commitment to ongoing and meaningful communication between school, teachers, students and families has been critical to this effort.

Although our students have transitioned into summer mode and COVID-19 restrictions have begun to loosen, we are looking ahead to what September will hold for our campuses and families.
We want to be clear - our preference and our priority is to get students back to our campuses, but we must ensure this is done in a safe and effective way. While we await official guidance from Public Health and the Ministry of Education, a "return to school" task force has been hard at work putting concrete operational plans in place for all likely scenarios. This includes a full return to campus with safeguards, a blended model of virtual and in-campus learning and the continuation of fully virtual classrooms. All scenarios will provide robust learning and live, daily instruction and interaction with teachers and peers. 
With ten campuses across Ontario, we realize that each one of our schools is a unique space and community. We will be implementing across-the-board policies on hand washing, facility cleaning and social distancing measures. Each school is also prepared to pivot individually based on the guidance of local health authorities and to best serve students and families. 
Our recent survey showed that over 80 per cent of Blyth Academy families are eager to return to campuses, and we are hard at work to prepare for this day. As September's scenario becomes clearer and more information becomes available, we will continue to communicate.
