With more than 25 languages spoken within a student body of just 120, the school certainly comes by its name honestly. The primary language of instruction is English, though many students arrive for whom English is a second language; a majority are international students, though certainly that's not a requirement. The ideal student is one destined for post-secondary education, who will thrive in a linguistically and culturally diverse environment, and who can perceive the unique opportunities and perspective that such an environment can provide.

"Royal Ontario Academy’s present identity has been shaped by several important moments in its growth. From its founding as an online high school, ROA has focused on providing flexible, accessible learning opportunities for students in Grades 9–12. Another major turning point was the decision to invest in high-quality course design that promotes active learning, practical application, and affordability rather than relying on constant live instruction. This vision has been strengthened by the outstanding work of Dr. Karen McCloskey and Natasha Pomeroy, whose expertise in course development and instructional design has helped shape engaging, rigorous, and meaningful online learning experiences. ROA’s continued adaptation to modern education, including the responsible use of AI, has further defined its character as flexible, student-focused and academically strong, while maintaining an attendance policy that requires regular student engagement and interaction with course material."

"What may surprise families most about ROA is that our courses are designed to go beyond helping students earn credits or achieve higher grades. We want students to understand the why behind what they are learning and how it connects to real-life situations, examples, and future study.
This approach is built into our course design by Dr. Karen McCloskey and Teacher Natasha Pomeroy, who carefully developed courses with meaningful application in mind. Their goal is not only to help students succeed in high school, but also to prepare them to apply their knowledge with confidence at the university level and beyond."

"A recent improvement at ROA has been the introduction of more comprehensive practice exams designed to better prepare students for their final assessments. These practice exams help students measure their readiness, understand expectations more clearly, and identify areas that need further review. This has given students greater clarity and confidence, while also contributing to stronger overall performance.
Similarly, a recent update to ROA’s attendance policy emphasizes the importance of regular engagement and interaction with course material. Students are expected to participate consistently in their learning to demonstrate progress and maintain momentum. If a student’s activity falls below expectations, the Principal will reach out to provide support and ensure that learning continues in a responsible and structured manner."

"In the next five years, ROA will continue to grow by using expanding technology and artificial intelligence capabilities to make our courses even more interactive, engaging, and responsive to student needs. We expect to further enhance course design in ways that keep students focused, involved, and actively participating in the learning process. As always, our aim will be to use innovation thoughtfully to strengthen understanding, support student success, and make online learning even more meaningful."
Ms Mora joined the Management team in 1979 in the field of Accounting. Her vision for an International profile of the School in "La Belle Province", led her to Hong Kong, Japan & China while on the board of the Canada Hong Kong business Association. In this regard she has been eminently successful. Her marketing efforts in the Middle East and South America brought a truly diverse Student body. With over 25 languages within a Student body of 120, it is truly a unique environment. Having obtained her education under the British system with Irish based educators, Ms.Mora beleives that discipline is important, thus a code of conduct is in place.
At Royal Ontario Academy, we believe effective online learning should be engaging, meaningful, and carefully designed to support real student growth. Our goal is not simply to help students complete courses, but to help them build understanding, confidence, and skills that will serve them well beyond high school.
We are committed to ensuring that our courses are structured in ways that promote active learning, clear progress, and practical application. Students learn best when they understand not only what they are studying, but why it matters. That is why our courses are designed to connect curriculum expectations with real-life examples, thoughtful practice, and meaningful opportunities to apply knowledge.
We also recognize that every student’s path is different. A strong online learning environment should provide both flexibility and structure, allowing students to move forward with support while developing independence and responsibility.
At ROA, we are proud to offer a learning experience that is student-focused, academically strong, and designed to prepare students for future success in post-secondary education and beyond.

Traditional
Information not available
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.

Equal Balance
Traditional Math typically teaches a method or algorithm FIRST, and THEN teaches the applications for the method. Traditional algorithms are emphasized and practiced regularly: repetition and drills are frequently used to ensure foundational mastery in the underlying mathematical procedures. The traditional approach to math views math education as akin to building a logical edifice: each brick depends on the support of the previously laid ones, which represent mastery over a particular procedure or method. Traditional Math begins by giving students a tool, and then challenges students to practice using that tool an applied way, with progressively challenging problems. In this sense Traditional Math aims to establish procedural understanding before conceptual and applied understanding.
These math programs feature an equal balance of “Traditional” and “Discovery” methods.
The first and second years of this cycle help to prepare students to enter high-school mathematics with confidence. Concepts introduced in earlier mathematics courses are extended in this course. Grade 10 Science Option course which includes factors, rational expressions, linear and quadratic functions, and system of equations. This course is intended for students who wish to pursue studies in science, commerce, business administration or a technical trade. his course includes three main objectives: algebra, the analysis of geometric situations and statistical data. They will begin by working with inequalities and system of inequalities alone, and then the solutions of linear optimization problems.

Computers are used in the classroom from time to time, but integrating technology into everything students do is not a dominant focus. Digital literacy is understood to be a legitimate skill in the 21st century, but not one that should distract from teaching the subject at hand, or more fundamental skills and literacies. The idea is today’s students, being “digital natives”, are likely exposed to computers and new media enough outside the classroom: the role of the school, rather, should be to develop competencies that may otherwise get missed.

Student-paced
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.
The main curriculum pace is non-standardized and is HIGHLY responsive to the pacing of individual students, (via differentiated instruction, differentiated assessment, etc). In theory, some students outpace the default/normalized curriculum, while others spend periods "behind schedule" if they need the extra time.
Small classes create a positive learning environment. Administrative team try to ensure groups are homogeneous which is conducive to learning
Our courses are designed to ensure students complete each lesson before proceeding to the next. This approach encourages steady progress, reinforces understanding, and helps students build the knowledge and skills needed for success in later lessons.
Supportive
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”.
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.
Success comes with preparation The best way to be well prepared and succeed is to devote time to your studies. It is clearly documented that the probability of a high average in college increases with the time dedicated to studying in high school. The School Office is ready to help you during the day with extra coaching, problem solving, a friendly chat, and suggestions for self discipline.
For students who demonstrate strong engagement on our online learning platform and participate fully in all aspects of the course curriculum including frequent and open communication with their teachers and school staff, our Principal may consider requests for second attempts in certain situations and make exceptions where appropriate. This reflects our belief that learning is a process, and that committed students should sometimes have the opportunity to reflect, improve, and show stronger understanding.
