A co-ed day and resident school, Holy Family Achievement School of Académie Ste-Cécile International School (“HFAS”) provides individualized programs, interactive methods, additional support, visual, auditory and technology based aids to our exceptional learners (Grades 6-12) so they may reach their potential and succeed. HFAS also offers aid to students looking to bridge the gap between their learning skills and ESL needs. HFAS’ boarders receive extra support with their homework and assignments in the evenings.
Established in 1993, Académie Ste-Cécile offers a range of academic programs delivered through the lens of Catholic values and traditions. The Holy Family Achievement School is one of them, created to address learning exceptionalities. The program benefits from a broad range of learning resources, from administration to facilities that are shared with the other Académie Ste-Cécile offerings. Instruction is student-centred and empathetic, helping learners achieve their potentials in a caring supportive environment. Music is a focus—Saint Cecilia is the patron saint of music, and when first begun the school was dedicated to music—as is athletics. Arts are well represented, with ample options for group or individual instruction. Small classes contribute to a sense of belonging, with students truly known and celebrated.
Additional notes: We provide airport pickup service to and from Toronto and Detroit Airports
