Our School

Aurora Preparatory Academy (APA), a co-educational private school for students in Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8, has been cultivated by thirty-five plus years of experience and passion in providing excellence in education. As a small-by-design private school, we cater to the individual needs of our students by maintaining reasonable classroom sizes, superior academic programming and exceptional staff commitment and support.

Curriculum

Aurora Preparatory Academy’s curriculum is aligned to the Ontario Ministry of Education guidelines, resulting in a student’s seamless transition into secondary school.

Our instructor–to–student ratio is purposely kept low to ensure that every student receives the assistance, supervision and direction that he or she needs. We provide a platform for high-achieving learners who require a more challenging curriculum and are capable of completing enriched work in multiple areas of study. We are also able to supplement in-class lessons with additional support for those who may be currently working below grade level.

In each case, we ensure our students meet or surpass curriculum benchmarks set forth by the Ministry. Our goal is to give our graduates the skills and the confidence needed to be successful in the next phase of education and for the rest of their lives.

Athletics Approach

Healthy bodies produce healthy minds and we recognize and value the importance of daily physical activity, healthy living and participation. Physical Education classes are essential elements of our curriculum all the way from Junior Kindergarten, where the emphasis is on play, introductory skill-development, and engagement, through to Grade 8, where sports skills are refined and the focus is on competition and team-building. Involvement in sports-related activities engages students in active listening, improves sportsmanship and physical fitness, and enhances communication skills.
