Welcome to Kingsway Academy!
At Kingsway Academy, we believe in creating a nurturing and dynamic learning environment where every student can thrive. Over the past 20 years of my career in education, I have had the privilege of working with international students from around the world. My academic journey has taken me through a B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. in Education, as well as OCT certifications in Mathematics, ESL, and Special Education. Most recently, I earned a qualification from the Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning at Harvard University.
I am passionate about fostering a school environment where students are not only supported academically but are also challenged to reach their full potential. I firmly believe that learning happens most effectively when students are motivated, engaged, and given the necessary resources to succeed. At Kingsway Academy, we are committed to this philosophy, making student success our highest priority.
What Makes Kingsway Academy Unique
Kingsway Academy is more than just a school. We are an international boarding high school located on the campus of King’s University College at Western University.

No other school in Canada provides this distinctive integration of high school and university environments.
Our exceptional faculty and student services are dedicated to helping students grow and excel in every aspect of their academic journey.
