Subway Academy I

We Feature

Caring Environment

Subway 1 provides a caring environment to all students by establishing a safe school community, and by building student confidence and a sense of belonging. Our small class sizes provide more support for our students. With a dedicated and committed teaching staff, we have developed great relationships with our students, parents, guardians, and caregivers. We also aim to work together as a school community to improve our relationships with one another and to support skill building throughout the school year.

Subway prides itself on its sense of cultural diversity and we celebrate our multiethnic, and multilingual student body and staff. We offer courses from grade 10 to 12 at the academic, college and university levels. Our course offerings range from year to year based on the timetable needs and interests of our students. There is a heavy emphasis on post-secondary destinations. This alternative school works best for motivated learners who want to explore knowledge and skill development for academic advancement and to foster lifelong learning. Students and staff work together closely, resulting in a strong community environment which focuses on individual needs and support.

Subway Academy I's Mission Statement

Grades: 10-12, Semestered

Subway Academy I is a small alternative school which serves a community of academically driven students as well as students who face multiple barriers to finishing high school. Our dynamic teaching staff is committed to engaging, encouraging, and guiding students to success in our program regardless of life challenges.

Subway Academy I features a wide range of subjects held in small classes in a welcoming environment. Our program is best suited to students who have established some foundational skills at the applied and academic levels; nevertheless, students entering our program with few credits are often able to build these skills through hard work and the assistance of encouraging staff. We provide regular classroom instruction, 5 days a week with 75 minute periods.

The Subway Academy One Difference

Along with our teachers, we provide support in career and postsecondary counselling. With our programs, students develop the self-directed study skills and discipline essential to succeeding after high school.

Recent examples demonstrate our students' successes. Students have been accepted into Canadian university and college programs in Health Sciences, Social Work, Social Sciences, Arts, and more.
