As the name suggests, Toronto Prep School is very much a preparatory academy intending to prepare students for university. The ideal student is one who arrives at the school with a clear sense of where they are going and is able to effectively manage their time and their schedule. The environment is rigorous, and the school operates very much with the demands of a teen lifestyle in mind. Classes start late in order to align with teens sleep patterns; a partnership with GoodLife Fitness, located within the same building as the school, provides an opportunity to maintain physical fitness. Those kinds of things are beneficial to students who are prone to making the most of them.
Read The Our Kids Review of Toronto Prep School
The Study Academy is a coed, independent school with two locations in mid-town Toronto. It provides a nurturing and supportive environment where academic and personal growth are top priority. The school provides a personalized education tailored to support kids with a range of learning styles, strengths, and needs. Since its inception, The Study Academy has focused on educating twice-exceptional and anxious learners by providing unique learning approaches, support plans, and opportunities for growth where individual strengths are prioritized and challenges are addressed. The school also has an extensive elective program that offers students the opportunity to explore areas of interest that aren't typically offered at the primary level. Among others, students can choose to take such engrossing courses as film studies, foreign languages, debate, and experimental art.

"A nurturing, coed, independent school, The Study provides personalized education tailored to support unique learning styles. Our students possess cognitive talents with nuanced profiles where ability coexists with learning differences. We challenge and enrich in a supportive environment where academic and personal growth are paramount. Our ethos is based on unconditional positive regard, collaborative problem solving, talent development, authentic social emotional learning and superior intellectual development."
"The Toronto Prep School is completely dedicated to providing a superior academic program for the children of parents who value the importance of knowledge, technology, individuality, responsibility, and integrity in a safe, nurturing, and highly motivated environment. Our mission is to prepare our students by equipping them with the academic tools and life skills needed to enter and succeed not only at the post-secondary school level, but ultimately, in their chosen career path. Given the pace of technological change and the growth of information technologies in all aspects of our lives, it is crucial that students gain mastery over these tools. We are committed to developing students who are confident and responsible and exhibit the values necessary to become effective communicators, informed and productive thinkers, self-directed learners, collaborative workers, and skilled information processors and problem solvers. As educators we will develop the facility for learning and foster the motivation for students to continue to learn after their formal school years. We will challenge each student to maximize his or her effort and in so doing realize their potential. The development of a sound work ethic and effective organizational and study skills will be stressed."
"Since its inception, The Study Academy has focused on educating 2e and anxious learners. We create unique learning, support plans, and opportunities for growth where individual strengths are prioritized to create an authentic learning experience to leverage the gifts of the individual to bridge the gaps or challenges one faces. We aim to empower the individual to equip students with the skills for success academically, socially and personally."
"Our people, atmosphere, and academic ethos differentiate TPS from other schools. While this sounds like an empty platitude, it is anything but. We believe that a school can be academically rigorous, but we also believe that teachers and administration should be approachable and create a comfortable environment. Growth does indeed occur when we are uncomfortable, but trust needs to be established before this growth exists."

"According to students and parents who have chosen TPS as their school, it seems personal attention, accountability, and academic flexibility are the deciding factors. Our semestered system, with a plethora of elective courses, allows students to find their passion and build a foundation upon which to launch their post-secondary journey. When students are provided with academic options and have the ability to choose a number of their classes, it makes for a better learning environment."

"Our academic program is recognized and well-regarded, but our extensive elective programs are unique and offer wonderful opportunities for students to explore areas of interest that are not typically offered in primary/junior schools. Even our youngest learners can choose high interest courses such as film studies, foreign languages, debating, experimental art and much more."
"The most important aspect of TPS is its reliance and insistence on the importance of family. From admissions, through matriculation, and capstoned by graduation, a given student’s personal family blends with TPS’s educational family. By this, we mean that it is essential for the morals, values, and ethics of prospective families to meld with those of TPS. Academic integrity, familial gratitude, and respect for oneself and others are the hallmarks of TPS."
"For a smaller school, The Study offers a surprisingly rich array of programming, electives and clubs.
Alumni report being exceptionally well- prepared for the next phase of life beyond The Study.
Students develop confidence and competence in all aspects of their academic and social ambitions.
Students at The Study become very adept at being their authentic selves in an environment that encourages and supports those who are bright, creative and neurodivergent."
"Once families enter our campus, they are typically surprised by the breadth of our physical location. In addition to our 33 traditional classrooms, TPS bolsters a professional grade music recording studio, a 100 seat mainstage auditorium, a fully equipped, 2000 sq. ft. fitness studio, a wellness centre, and the list goes on."

It gives me great pleasure, as Principal of Toronto Prep School, to welcome you to the official Toronto Prep School website. This website has been prepared in the hope that it will become for parents, students, and visitors to the site, a valuable source of school news and timely information. This website has been developed to enable everyone to become familiar with our school, its policies, and other procedures that are basic for the smooth functioning of our school, as well as to provide you with updated school news, schedules and events.
The website is for many an introduction to the Toronto Prep School as a new, private, co-educational, university preparatory day school option.
Parents are increasingly concerned about the role education will play in securing the future they want for their children. Parents recognize that superior schools prepare children not just for today's test but rather for all of life's tests. Acceptance to a prominent university is not good enough; the ability to succeed once you are there and beyond is the goal.
Parents understand that the best education is a values-added experience that offers a rigorous academic curriculum, a structured, nurturing environment with an appropriate integration of technology to promote literacy and numeracy, but also values the importance of hard work, personal responsibility, respect, leadership and maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle. Our small class sizes and commitment to positive discipline play integral parts in the recognition and fostering of individual strengths. Dedicated and caring teachers challenge students to strive for excellence while encouraging social responsibility. We provide a community where achievement, character development and academics are equally important aspects of the total educational experience. Helping students develop a life-long love of learning is our ultimate goal.
Our curriculum places a premium on students taking an active role in their own education. Learning by doing promotes a spirit of inquisitiveness and a deeper understanding of ideas. Talented and committed faculty members put students in the forefront and challenge them to pursue their dreams. Teachers who genuinely enjoy working with and connecting with young people engage our students to take constructive risks as they develop academic and personal attributes we value.
Our goal is to inspire all our students to develop both creative and analytical skills, which are essential to successful learning, while supporting them as they accept responsibility for who they are and what kind of people they want to become. We, as educators, have a rich history of achievement to draw upon. We step confidently forward to challenge ourselves and our students to excel.
A great deal of information about our programs, and our calendar is at your fingertips, and I invite you to explore the Toronto Prep experience.
Sincerely,
Pete Tsimikalis
Principal
Traditional
Information not available
Progressive (sometimes called "in- quiry-based") curricula attempt to place children's interests and ideas at the heart of the learning experience. Instead of lessons being driven by predetermined pathways, progressive curricula are often "emergent", with learning activities shaped by students' questions about the world. Instead of starting with academic concepts and then tying it to everyday experience, progressive methods begin with everyday experience and work back to an academic lesson. Teachers provide materials, experiences, tools and resources to help students investigate a topic or issue. Students are encouraged to explore, reflect on their findings, and discuss answers or solutions.
Traditional curricula tend to be very content-based and rooted in the core disciplines. It is a structured approach that involves the teacher delivering a unified curriculum through direct instruction. Students usually learn by observing and listening to their teacher, studying facts and concepts in textbooks, and completing both tests and written assignments - which challenge students to not only demonstrate their mastery of content but their ability to analyze and deconstruct it critically. Class discussions are also used to create critical dialogue around the content of the curriculum.

Our school utilizes a progressive, strength-based approach to curriculum delivery with an emphasis on universal design and inclusivity in the classroom. Our program is uniquely tailored to meet the needs of twice-exceptional learners, who often present with wonderful abilities and talents in certain domains while also requiring specific support to access and demonstrate learning due to exceptional needs in other domains. Our goal is to successfully and holistically engage all students in the process of learning by meeting them where they are and guiding them on a path of constant and never-ending improvement.

Systematic-phonics programs teach young children to read by helping them to recognize and sound out the letters and syllables of words. Students are then led to blend these sounds together to sound out and recognize the whole word. While other reading programs might touch on phonetics (either incidentally or on a “when needed” basis), systematic phonics teaches phonics in a specific sequence, and uses extensive repetition and direct instruction to help readers associate specific letter patterns with their associated sounds.

Heavy integration
A major effort is made to integrate the development of digital literacy throughout the curriculum and in everything students do. Digital literacy is understood to be a fundamental skill in the 21st century: it therefore follows, the idea goes, that teachers should find ways to connect every lesson back to technology. Effort is made to ensure the use of technology is meaningful and advances students’ skills beyond what they would otherwise be from using computers outside the classroom.

All our new students are gifted a MacBook Pro 13\" to use while at TPS. This laptop is used as a tool for better learning. Students use it to complete homework, write essays and create PowerPoint presentations. Through teacher direction, they are able to use the Internet for research, and resource. Furthermore, the laptop is used for graphic design and communication technologies. It is important to note that the laptop is used as a tool to develop skills such as note taking, essay writing and organization.

Standard-enriched
Broadly-speaking, the main curriculum -- like that of most schools -- paces the provincially-outlined one. This pace is steady and set by the teachers and school. The curriculum might still be enriched in various ways: covering topics more in-depth and with more vigor than the provincial one, or covering a broader selection of topics.

Rigorous
A school with a “supportive” academic culture focuses more on process than short-term outcomes: academic performance is a welcomed side-benefit, but not the driving focus. This does not mean the school lacks standards, or has low expectations for its students: a school can have a supportive academic culture and still light the fire of ambition in its students. It does mean, however, the school provides a less intensive culture than schools with a “rigorous” academic classification, and is focused more simply on instilling a love of learning and life-long curiosity.
A school with a “rigorous” academic culture places a high value on academic performance, and expects their students to do the same. This does not mean the school is uncaring, unsupportive, or non-responsive -- far from it. A school can have a rigorous academic culture and still provide excellent individual support. It does mean, however, the school places a particular emphasis on performance -- seeking the best students and challenging them to the fullest extent -- relative to a normal baseline. High expectations and standards – and a challenging yet rewarding curriculum – are the common themes here. Keep in mind this classification is more relevant for the older grades: few Kindergarten classrooms, for example, would be called “rigorous”.
We approach academic performance with the belief that all students are unique and can succeed even if they require different evidence-based practices in order to learn and demonstrate their skills. We structure our learning environment in a way that demonstrates unconditional positive regard for our students' abilities while removing barriers to learning through inclusive, adaptive instructional practices. We engage students in a setting with lower student-to-teacher ratios, provide learning plans to 100% of our pupils, and assign faculty advisors to all learners to ensure students are always seen and supported. This allows our faculty to form collegial relationships with students so that they can facilitate the development of students to become the best version of themselves possible.
With smaller class sizes, our teachers develop a working relationship with their students and are better able to identify their strengths and weaknesses, helping them overcome challenges through encouragement and greater attention in specific areas of need. Each child and young adult has the ability to overcome his or her individual obstacles through a more focused setting and trusting two-way communication with the teacher.

Equal emphasis is placed on a balance of priorities: intellectual, emotional, social and physical cultivation.
Intellectual
The goal is to cultivate "academically strong, creative and critical thinkers, capable of exercising rationality, apprehending truth, and making aesthetic distinctions."
In working with twice-exceptional learners, we recognize that many of our students present with profiles that show levels of ability beyond their chronological age in some areas and below in other areas. This bifurcated profile type is not identical from person to person so we approach student development with a balanced set of priorities. This ensures that we are able to provide support, structure, and guidance in the domains of academic, emotional, social, and physical development for those with additional needs in these areas without excluding or over-emphasizing any one area. This balanced approach allows students with exceptional talents to shine through their strengths without focusing exclusively on deficits to the detriment of a student's confidence and overall experience.

We understand and expect that students will change over time. As such, we know that their needs will change as well. In some cases, students grow into a stage of development where underlying differences become more apparent, to the point of clinical significance. We are willing and able to support families through this process and help connect them to resources for additional support and assessment within the community. Working with twice-exceptional students means we are sensitive to the needs of students with learning difficulties and welcome them into our school.

The Study Academy is a place to learn differently. Our bright and quirky environment reflects the students thé bring life to our community. We are institution that provides innovative, differentiated and engaging learning fir students grade 3-12. Our students demonstrate a keen interest in learning and solving problems. They demonstrate and active engagement in their success and are open to also developing the critical executive function skills and strategies. Finally, our students are risk takers and are motivated to solve problems, differently.
The goal of TPS is to find those students who best fit with our program and values. Students are not chosen merely by their academic qualifications, though these, of course, play an important part in any decision. We are looking for students who want to be a part of our dynamic community, who are concerned about the wider society and are willing to share their talents and improve their skills. We stress the importance of extra-curricular activities and place effort and character above all.
We encourage all interested families to reach out via our website. From there you will be greeted by our knowledge administrator to arrange an intake interview. From there a class visit is required and we will work with families and the student to arrange a visit that will work best for their learning and social emotional needs. During the class visit(s) we observe the students response to 1:1 engagement, interaction with the class material and response to differentiation, and the students engament with social opportunities. After the visit(s) data is gathered and the family is contacted about next steps. In order to provide the greatest opportunity for success offers of admissions are always specific to the learner needs and may include a scaffolded entry.
We want to discover who the candidate really is, and as such, rely on a detailed application package (including teacher and community referrals, school reports, a parent statement, and a candidate’s statement) and an interview rather than writing an SSAT or entrance test.
