Preparation for post-secondary education is the primary focus with increased attention on critical thinking, interpreting information, independent learning, and active participation in classes and activities. Our strong guidance department works with each student to define their pathway.


Full-time students at Blyth Academy may take part in several athletic skills training programs while benefitting from our flexible school schedules, meeting both their academic and athletic needs.


We offer a comprehensive full-time program for Grades 4-12. Students studying with us for the full year benefit from our targeted programs for specific years: Elementary & Middle School, our High School Program in Grades 9 & 10, and the Post-Secondary Preparation Program in Grades 11 & 12.

“My experience in MIA cannot be described with words. I loved the patience and caring that our teachers give us every moment. What I enjoyed the most were the school trips where we had more time to get to know each other and have fun aside all the school work. It makes me really proud of the fact I had the opportunity to grow as a person in MIA.”

“I came to Canada in 2015. I studied in MIA for almost one year, all the teachers are professional and they are trying everything possible to help students to succeed. There are many extracurricular activities and student clubs, including dance club, singing club, student union. Most importantly, MIA has excellent academic counsellors to help students choose courses to better prepare for future university studies. After graduation, I was admitted to the University of Toronto, St. George with decent scholarship in 2016. What I learned in MIA influences me as a person not just a high school student. I had a great learning experience in MIA.”


“My experience with this fantastic school has been flawless. As a mother sending her son overseas, I was extremely nervous and worried. However, Bader kept telling me how helpful the staff are which make M.I.A my recommendation to all parents sending their children overseas for good education.”


“Being part of the MIA family gives one a sense of belonging to a family far away from home. Due to low numbers of students per class, I was able to enjoy personal and effective help from the teachers who offered undivided attention each time I would experience any difficulty in class. Being at McDonald International Academy allowed me to join one of the most prestigious Universities in Canada.”


“While the learning is comprehensive and competitive to prepare us for university, I was more overwhelmed by the nurturing environment this school provides. Being an international student living far away from home, it is refreshing to be a part of a school with teachers and staff that genuinely care for your well-being, not just academically, but on all levels.”
