At the Junior Academy, our teachers know two things very well…your children and how to teach them. Established in 1988, the Junior Academy’s teaching philosophy looks at the individual potential of our students, and helps them achieve it. It’s a school where your child’s learning style is understood and embraced. Our teachers work together to ensure that gifted students, average learners, or those needing more support are taught in ways that help them succeed. The school’s commitment to extracurricular activities and community service enriches the learning environment beyond the traditional school experience, encouraging students to become responsible, active members of society.
The Bridle Path is an upscale residential neighbourhood in the former city of North York, now part of Toronto. It is a secluded neighbourhood, surrounded by the Don River Valley and lush parklands, characterized by large multi-million-dollar mansions and two to four acre lot sizes. Hoggs Hollow, also in this area, is one of the most affluent neighbourhoods in Toronto, named after Joseph Hogg, a Scotsman who settled in the area in 1824. Subdivision of the present day Hoggs Hollow neighbourhood began in the 1920s with the creation of lots, layout of roads, and design of homes reflecting the aesthetic of the English countryside.
