MESSAGE FROM THE LEADERSHIP
We invited Tim Seabrook, Head of School at The YMCA Academy, to share a message.
The overview highlights the vision, values, and guiding principles that shape leadership and the student experience at The YMCA Academy.
Tim Seabrook, Head of School
I have spent over 30 years working in alternative, independent and public institutions, having focused my career on arts education, curriculum development and experiential learning to meet the needs of all learners. In my short time at The Academy, I have witnessed the following: The Academy is a uniquely impressive school, one that profoundly improves the quality of life of its students, and promises to prepare students as they move on successfully to post-secondary studies or meaningful work placements. The creative and nurturing teachers here have taken approved Ontario Ministry of Education courses and incorporated them into unique programs to meet the needs of our neurodiverse student population. Our goal is to give our students the necessary skills to graduate from The Academy with their Ontario Secondary School Diploma or Certificate in hand, ready to face the challenges of university, college or vocational endeavors.
