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.

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.

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.
At Sunray Academy, our mathematics program is built on an equal balance of traditional and discovery methods. We believe that students need both a strong foundation in procedural fluency and the ability to think critically and apply concepts creatively. In practice, this means we first ensure mastery of essential algorithms and logical structures, while also encouraging students to explore problems, ask questions, and connect math to real-world situations. Our approach integrates structured lessons with opportunities for inquiry, collaboration, and hands-on application. By doing so, students not only gain confidence in solving problems accurately but also develop the resilience and curiosity needed to approach unfamiliar challenges. Across all grades, mathematics at Sunray Academy is taught as both a discipline of precision and a tool for innovation, preparing students for higher education, careers, and everyday decision-making with equal strength in theory and practice.
All material is available online, except in some occasions where students need to select a novel, or watch a particular movie. In these cases there are also suggested online links to free resources they can use.
Calculators and computers are permitted in all math classes.

Communicative
These programs feature an equal blend of the audio-lingual and communicative styles of language instruction.
The communicative method of language acquisition emphasizes the use of the target language in authentic contexts. The approach commonly features interactive group work, games, authentic texts, and opportunities to learn about the cultural background of the language. Drills and quizzes may still be used, but less frequently than with the audio-lingual method.
Listening to a variety of subjects, the students will be able to demonstrate their comprehension. They will be able to produce argumentative compositions, and business letters. Vocabulary and grammar are incorporated into this program. Students practice their understanding of selections on a variety of subjects. With regard to listening, they will be able to comprehend to a degree, and recognize written forms of the language. Students are helped to develop wider skills, so that they may communicate both in speaking and in writing with a certain ease in French, in different ways of communicating related to their needs and interests.
At Sunray Academy, our foreign language and ESL programs emphasize a communicative approach, where language learning goes beyond memorization and drills to focus on authentic use in real-world contexts. Students build fluency through interactive activities such as group projects, debates, role-plays, and cultural explorations that connect language to lived experience. While we do reinforce accuracy through grammar and vocabulary instruction, our priority is ensuring students gain confidence in using the language for academic, professional, and social purposes. By immersing students in meaningful communication and linking instruction to cultural understanding, we prepare them not only to excel in examinations but also to thrive in higher education and global environments. This balance of skill development and cultural literacy equips students with the tools to become confident, adaptable communicators.

Heavy integration
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.
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.
This course is designed to introduce students to a number of basic concepts in both Chemistry and Physics. Major studies include the classification and properties of matter; physical and chemical changes; the modern atomic model, atomic structure, bonding; molecular models; solution phenomena; acids and bases; magnetic phenomena; electrical phenomena, power, generation and transmission. During this first year of Cycle II, the students use experimental problem solving to develop their understanding of science. They explore Waves, Sound, Light, Electricity and Magnetism. They also participate in the school science fair. Some topics covered in this course include: electric circuits, electric motors and how they work, electronics, computers, waves and their behaviour, light, mirrors and lenses.
At Sunray Academy, our computer studies program is designed to build both digital literacy and future-ready technology skills. Students begin with a strong foundation in computer hardware, software, and safe digital practices, then progressively advance to coding, programming, and applied technology projects. Our approach integrates structured lessons with hands-on, project-based learning, allowing students to design websites, apps, and multimedia presentations while developing problem-solving and creativity. In senior grades, emphasis is placed on computational thinking, design thinking, and digital ethics, preparing students to navigate both the technical and social aspects of technology. We also encourage cross-disciplinary applications, where students use digital tools to enhance work in math, science, and the arts. By combining core IT competencies with innovative, real-world projects, our program equips learners with the confidence, adaptability, and technical expertise needed for higher education and careers in a rapidly evolving digital world.

Rigorous
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”.

The School Office is ready to help you during the day with extra coaching, problem solving, a friendly chat, and suggestions for self discipline.
At Sunray Academy, our academic culture is supportive, focusing on fostering curiosity, resilience, and a love of lifelong learning. While we maintain strong academic standards aligned with the OSSD curriculum, our approach emphasizes the process of learning rather than short-term performance alone. Teachers encourage students to set personal goals, engage in collaborative learning, and explore subjects deeply to build both confidence and independence. We prioritize individual growth by offering guidance, mentorship, and flexible pathways that recognize diverse strengths and learning styles. Academic performance is seen as a natural outcome of sustained effort, curiosity, and encouragement. This supportive environment allows students to thrive academically while also developing critical life skills such as problem-solving, adaptability, and self-motivation.

Canadian Students International Students Exchange Students Summer School Students Short Term Students
Our students should be ready to take the next step to align their future goals tomorrow with the activities and learning they're doing today. Students that are unwilling or unable to commit to a dedicated path of learning will not be the best fit for our program. Our program is best suited for students that take control of their learning and are goal-oriented, always aligned to their educational and professional ambitions.
Canadian applicants: Please refer to our website at https://prepinternational.com/admission/canadian-students.html International applicants: Please refer to our website at https://prepinternational.com/admission/international-students.html
Summer program: Please refer to our website at https://prepinternational.com/admission/summer-school.html
For students entering in Grade 9, the application process is simple. They need to provide us with government-issued ID, and demonstrate that they have completed primary school up to Grade 8.
For students entering in Grade 10-12, we will need to asses the students prior learning, and determine how many OSSD credits our schools can grant towards their diploma.
All international students, or students studying in a non-english language school, will need to complete an English entrance exam.
