Welcome to Innova Academy

We are a classical Christian school located in Newmarket, Ontario educating students from junior kindergarten through grade eight. Innova Academy was founded by a concerned group of parents and educators to address the need for a school that would partner with parents and the local church to provide a rich academic education, as well as equip children with the tools they need to become the next generation of Christian thinkers and leaders. We believe that the best model of education to meet these goals is classical Christian education.

Why Choose Innova?

It puts God back into the classroom as Teacher

Innova argues that God is extremely relevant and central to all learning. It unashamedly acknowledges the redemptive cross of Jesus, and all knowledge is understood through this.

It’s classical. It is not limited to a decade or century of modern perspective

It is the same method used for thousands of years by the history’s greatest educators and thinkers. “Classical education is the authoritative, traditional, and enduring form of education, begun by the Greeks and Romans, developed through history and now being renewed and recovered in the 21st century” – Perrin.

It is not bound by the Ontario Ministry curriculum

It works to surpass provincial expectations and master content in a purposeful way. For example, history is integrated throughout the curriculum in chronological order, rather than in disjointed snippets by leaping throughout the centuries confined to “history class.” Grade 2 Innova students delve into the beginning of recorded history, early nomads, Ancient Egypt, India and China. Grade 3 students study Ancient Greece, Rome and the early Mayans, and Grade 4 students start with the fall of Rome and discover Medieval and Renaissance history. This is done throughout integrated language, history, bible and art classes known as “culture.”

Its core goal is not academic

Innova’s mission is to shape the heart, because what the child ultimately loves will direct him or her. For “to educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society” – Roosevelt. Innova desires to see hearts formed to love God first and desire his kingdom, and their love for God then shapes their worldview.
