The Academy's mandate is simple

Excellent Academic Curriculum

 

    To achieve academic excellence, the Ontario Hockey Academy offers the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). The Academy is a member of the Ontario Federation of Independent Schools and adheres to all policies and follows the university preparatory curriculum as set forth by Ontario's Ministry of Education.

  

    Our academic program is designed for students not only to be prepared for college, but also to succeed in college. We offer individualized instruction and tutoring in all our courses to ensure our students maximize their learning potential. For advanced students, we offer independent study utilizing undergraduate courses from several US colleges and universities.

 

    All OHA core courses are NCAA approved to ensure NCAA student eligibility requirements are met. Together with a faculty that has a wide and broad range of expertise, we are ready and eager to help our students reach their goals.

 

 

 High Tech World

  

    We had one thing in mind when building new facilities and renovating our existing structures. It was to ensure that our students' current and future educational goals are met. We’ve created classrooms, study spaces and academic areas that keep pace with the high-tech world of today and meet the needs of  tomorrow. This gives our students an edge in college and beyond.  As a student, you’ll have extensive access to a variety of state-of-the-art computers, extensive software, specialty computer courses (e.g. desktop publishing and web design), and a multimedia lab with an  interactive smart board.

 

 

Typical Academic Day

 

    The academic portion of the day is highly structured, consisting of (4) seventy minute periods for core course instruction every morning, five days a week. An additional time is set aside for extra tutoring, remedial help, college counseling and our SAT prep program. A nightly 1 hr compulsory study hall enables students to get homework done, read literature, or study for tests and exams. Faculty teachers are on duty during this time to provide extra help or to answer questions.

 

    But it’s not all work. We visit different universities throughout the year where our students can experience college for a day and talk with admissions officers, professors and other student athletes. Typically, we schedule trips to St. Lawrence University, Clarkson University, the University of Vermont and McGill University.


 

Post Secondary Test Preparation

 

    We make every effort to help our students get into the universities of their choice. To accomplish this, we offer  a SAT prep course. Each year, our upper level students are required to take either the SAT I or SAT II exam.

 

 

Small Classes

 

    Picture this: Small classes of 6 to 10 students. Teachers interacting with students on a one-to-one and laughter coming from the classroom as students conduct a lively debate. In this type of environment, learning is made easier. The result is higher retention rates, better understanding and springboard for the next level. And that's our goal.

 

 

Student Years

 

    For most students, their High School years are a time of change and challenge. For student-athletes these years are critical for honing their hockey skills, developing study skills and, most importantly, learning time management. If you are an elite student-athlete who is serious about obtaining a university scholarship and taking your abilities to the next level, we may be for you.
