"NOIC ACADEMY is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Being a full-time, high end private boarding secondary school, it has offered the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) since 2004. In March, 2015, it was authorized by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) to become an IB World School, offering the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). NOIC ACADEMY is co-inspected by the Ontario Ministry of Education and IBO."
"By combining the rigorous academic framework of the IB program with the flexibility and breadth of the OSSD curriculum, students benefit from a holistic approach to learning that nurtures critical thinking, inquiry skills, and global perspectives.
Empowering students with a comprehensive series of leadership workshops. From mastering interview techniques to honing social skills and leadership programs by Harvard Congress, our workshops are designed to cultivate essential competencies and nurture leadership potential.
Dedicated Mentors' one on one program that provides all-rounded support to our students both mentally and academically, we create a supportive environment where every student can flourish.
We value integrity, inclusivity, and a passion for lifelong learning. We uphold these values through a supportive campus culture, extracurricular opportunities that encourage leadership and service, and a commitment to ethical behavior and mutual respect."
"At our school, we have made deliberate tradeoffs to uphold our core values and prioritize certain aspects of education over others. One significant tradeoff we have embraced is between traditional methods of education and embracing innovative teaching approaches.
Our commitment to a classical model of education, which emphasizes rigorous academic standards, deep subject knowledge, and critical thinking rooted in the classics, comes at the cost of integrating cutting-edge technology into every aspect of learning. While we recognize the importance of technology in today's world, we have chosen to prioritize the development of foundational skills and intellectual exploration over constant technology integration in the classroom. This means that our students may not have the latest gadgets or use digital tools as extensively as they might in other educational settings."
"Founded in 2004, NOIC Academy has evolved significantly through key milestones. Launching the IB program in 2015 elevated its academic offerings while introducing an online program in 2019 expanded accessibility. Relocating to the existing campus in the same year provided enhanced facilities. Navigating the challenges of COVID-19 showcased resilience. In 2024, its global education expansion underscores its commitment to preparing students for a dynamic world. These junctures define NOIC Academy's presence as a leader in international education, blending tradition with innovation to foster academic excellence and global citizenship."
"At NOIC Academy, students who thrive are intellectually curious, globally minded, and motivated to excel academically. They embrace diversity and are eager to engage in a supportive, multicultural environment. Families who value rigorous academics, personalized attention, and preparation to further their university education find our approach ideal. A proactive mindset towards learning, adaptability to new environments, and a commitment to community involvement align well with our educational philosophy. Families seeking a nurturing yet challenging educational experience emphasizing academic achievement and personal growth will find NOIC Academy a perfect fit."
"Families seeking a solely traditional educational model focused heavily on standardized testing preparation may find NOIC Academy less aligned with their preferences. Our emphasis on holistic education, including critical thinking, creativity, and global awareness, may not meet the expectations of families prioritizing strict adherence to traditional academic methodologies. Additionally, families seeking a very small, intimate school setting may find our moderate-sized student body and diverse community less suitable for their preferences. Conversely, families valuing a dynamic, multicultural environment that promotes independent thinking, cultural exchange, and comprehensive university preparation will find NOIC Academy an ideal fit. Our commitment to nurturing well-rounded individuals prepared for success in a globalized world may not fully resonate with those seeking a more narrowly focused educational approach."
"Families choose NOIC Academy because of our proven track record in preparing students for success in universities. They value our strong academic programs, including the IB curriculum and enriched courses, which provide a rigorous yet supportive learning environment. Our commitment to small class sizes and personalized attention ensures that every student receives individualized support and achieves their full potential.
Moreover, families appreciate our diverse and inclusive community, which fosters cultural exchange and global perspectives. They see the benefit of their children learning alongside peers from different backgrounds, preparing them for a multicultural world. Our modern facilities and emphasis on technology integration also distinguish us, offering students access to state-of-the-art resources that enhance their educational experience."
"NOIC students have been actively involved in various charitable initiatives, recently we have joined in hand with a local NGO for mentally impaired people to support their fundraising carnival for opening a vocational training centre. Our students showcased their creativity by designing a dedicated NOIC Booth for the event.
Furthermore, we have launched a Food Drive event aimed at gathering food and essential items to benefit the Markham Food Bank.
The primary objective is not only to promote support for the local community but also to instill in our students an appreciation for the virtues of sharing and giving.
Additionally, our students demonstrate strong participation in sports such as basketball, badminton, table tennis, and football. Notably, one of our alumni is even a member of the local ice hockey team, highlighting our community's diverse talents and interests."
"An aspect of NOIC Academy that is often underappreciated is our strong emphasis on community and student support beyond academics. While families recognize our academic rigor and diverse student body, they may not fully appreciate the extent of our extracurricular programs and holistic support services. These include comprehensive university counseling, robust extracurricular activities, and initiatives promoting student well-being and leadership development. These aspects play a crucial role in shaping students' overall experience and success, fostering a sense of belonging and personal growth beyond the classroom."
"Families often find NOIC Academy surprisingly welcoming and inclusive once they experience our community firsthand. While they may expect a rigorous academic environment, they are pleasantly surprised by the warmth and support from both faculty and peers. They discover a diverse student body that fosters cultural understanding and friendships across borders. Moreover, families appreciate the depth of personalized attention and resources available, ensuring each student's unique needs are met. These aspects create a nurturing environment where students thrive academically and personally, exceeding initial expectations of a typical academic institution."
"Recently, NOIC Academy has enhanced the student experience through several initiatives. We've integrated smart boards in classrooms to elevate interactive learning. Furthermore, we've strengthened our community engagement by organizing a food drive for the Markham Food Bank and actively participating in local NGO fundraising carnivals with our NOIC game booth. These efforts reflect our commitment to fostering academic excellence alongside social responsibility, empowering students to make meaningful contributions to their community."
"At NOIC Academy, our ongoing commitment revolves around continually enhancing the experiences of both our students and our dedicated team. Our primary goal is to create an optimal environment that supports their well-being and fosters a balanced life. This dedication drives us to consistently improve our facilities and services, ensuring that everyone at NOIC Academy can thrive both academically and personally. By prioritizing these elements, we aim to cultivate a supportive community where every individual can reach their full potential."
