Canadian Academy

Canadian Academy is committed to inspiring minds and nurturing compassion through a student-centered, inquiry-based approach. The educational ethos emphasizes critical inquiry, reflection, and the development of skills and dispositions that encourage students to engage in actions that positively impact the world. The school fosters an inclusive, diverse, and international-minded community.

As an IB World School, Canadian Academy offers the full International Baccalaureate continuum, including the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and the IB Diploma Programme (DP). The academic structure is divided into Early Childhood, Elementary (Grades 1-5), Middle School (Grades 6-8), and High School (Grades 9-12).

The school reports strong academic results, with the Class of 2025 achieving a 98.1% success rate in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme and a high score of 42. The graduating class received 181 university offers, maintaining a 100% college acceptance rate.

The school provides student support services, including counseling and English as an Additional Language (EAL) instruction. For students requiring significant one-on-one assistance, a dedicated Learning Support program is available, which may incur additional fees.

Canadian Academy accepts applications up to one year in advance of enrollment. The process includes an online application, submission of supporting documents (such as school transcripts, standardized test results, and assessments), and confidential recommendations from current teachers or administrators. Following a review by the Admissions Committee, applicants participate in an interview and may undergo assessments in mathematics, reading, and writing, with non-native English speakers assessed for English as an Additional Language (EAL) support.

The school year typically begins in mid-August and concludes in mid-June. The calendar includes scheduled breaks for Fall, Winter, and Spring, as well as public holidays and faculty professional development days. The school also hosts specific events such as Sports Day and various parent-teacher or student-led conferences throughout the year.

Located on a nine-acre campus on Rokko Island, the school features modern, flexible learning environments including a renovated library, atrium, and cafeteria. The campus houses two world-class theater spaces, two full-size gymnasia, two sports fields, and specialized classrooms for early childhood education. Boarding students reside in four distinct houses—Maya, Kiku, Take, and Rokko—which include shared bedrooms and communal kitchen and dining areas.

Students have access to a wide range of after-school activities, service learning clubs, and athletics. The school participates in the Asia Pacific Activities Conference (APAC) for inter-school events and trips. Additionally, the school offers experiential learning opportunities through programs like 'Japan as a Classroom,' 'Week Without Walls,' and various summer programs.
