Dear Parents, Students and Staff,
Education has been a lifelong passion and is the greatest gift we can give to our youth. This gift has the transformative power to change lives and continually redefine the limits of what can be achieved. As an educator with almost 40 years’ experience, I am convinced that all students can excel to reach their full potential with the provision of stimulating, holistic, and targeted support.
At Webtree Academy, we value every individual student’s individuality, celebrating their unique identities, interests, and ideas while recognizing their strengths, as well as areas that need improvement, in an inclusive community. As a private school, we aim to nurture our students with global awareness, a sense of citizenship, and critical thinking, in addition to their academic success. Our school offers specialized programs in the Arts (including Portfolio Development for post-secondary studies), Advanced Placement courses, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), and Digital Communication. In addition, we support exceptional athletes (hockey, tennis) in their studies toward post-secondary paths.
Looking forward to another rewarding year to witness our students’ journey toward making and taking their places in the world, I send my warmest thank-you to the parents and mentors who have put their trust in us.
Thank you.
Henry Michels
