We are thrilled to welcome both new and returning students to the Elite Pathway Partnership (EPP) Program!

Last Friday, our incoming Grade 11 students received their official welcome letters, while the Grade 12 students, now stepping into their second year of the EPP Program, proudly accepted certificates for completing leadership training at the University of Toronto this summer.

Program Supervisor Chris Vander Deen unveiled the essential activities designed to equip our students for the rigorous demands of gaining entry to the world鈥檚 top universities.

杏吧原创 Founder and CEO Clement Chan, together with Principal Diana Reid, shared powerful insights, highlighting that while academic excellence is vital, positive character, leadership, and soft skills are equally crucial for shaping a bright future.
