WELCOME TO HIGHLAND
We are a private high school in Ontario serving Grades 9–12. We combine small class sizes, personalized attention, and innovative, project-based learning with the globally recognized Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). Our mission is to prepare students from Canada and around the world for success at leading universities of student choice — and in life.
Head of School's Welcome
Choosing the right high school is one of the most important decisions for a young person’s future. At Highland Academy of Canada, we are proud to offer an education that combines the strength of Ontario’s world-class curriculum with the personal attention and global perspective that every student deserves.
Our students earn the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) — a credential recognized by leading universities in Canada and around the world. Alongside this foundation, we provide dedicated university counselling with a proven track record of acceptances, ensuring each graduate is ready to take the next step with confidence.
What sets Highland apart is the way we teach and support. Small class sizes mean that teachers know each student as an individual — their strengths, their goals, and their challenges. We offer flexible course options tailored to personal interests, so students can build a pathway that reflects who they are and who they want to become. For those who need it, our English as a Second Language (ESL) programs provide the skills and confidence to excel, not just survive, in academic life.
Beyond the classroom, we understand the needs of international families. From safe and welcoming homestay arrangements to comprehensive student support services, we ensure every learner feels at home in Canada. Our admissions team provides seamless application and visa guidance, walking families through each step of the journey.
As Head of School, I believe that education should be transformative. It should open doors, nurture creativity, and prepare students for a future without borders. I warmly invite you to discover the opportunities at Highland Academy in 2026 and beyond.
Apply today — and become part of our global learning community.
