Why Bond Academy?
Private high school fees in Toronto vary widely, so families often look for a school that offers the OSSD on a reasonable budget and publishes its fees. Bond Academy's structure, running from kindergarten to the end of high school, and its published fee table address that need.
- Budget clarity: Families who want to see every fee item in advance can review the school's international fee table.
- University-focused programs: Students who need more support than the standard OSSD can choose from several program levels.
- One school for siblings: Families sending children of different ages can place them all on the same campus.
Reasons: features that set Bond Academy apart
The school's website and international fee table show the following features.
- Small-class OSSD: The high school follows the Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum in small classes, so students receive more individual teacher attention on the path to the diploma.
- Tiered programs: OSSD, OSSD+, University Pathway and University Elite Pathway let families choose the level of academic support that fits their budget.
- ESL and ELD courses: English as a Second Language and English Literacy Development are part of the curriculum and run alongside credit courses.
- AP connection: Because the school is linked to the Advanced Placement program, strong students can prepare for university-level exams.
- Homestay: Students in grades 9–12 can get a single room with a host family for CAD 1,800–2,200 per month, so accommodation costs can be calculated upfront.
- Transport: The campus lies between Lawrence Avenue East and Ellesmere Road, near the Warden and Kennedy subway stations, so students can reach school by public transit.
- Basketball program: The school runs a high-level basketball program, so athletes can combine training with their academic schedule.
