Read our in-depth review"At Metropolitan Preparatory Academy, we believe education transforms lives. Since 1982, we have proudly prepared students in Grades 7–12 for exceptional academic achievement, entrance into prestigious universities—including Ivy League institutions—and meaningful, successful careers. Our 100% university acceptance rate, rigorous academic programs, and personalized guidance help each student maximize their potential. Metro Prep students thrive in a supportive yet academically challenging environment featuring small classes, innovative courses, and direct mentorship from skilled educators dedicated to fostering confidence, critical thinking, and creativity. Our extensive math, science, and technology curriculum is complemented by real-world experiences, including Toronto’s exclusive high school biotechnology program (GENIUS) and our acclaimed School of Music, Integrated Arts, Theatre, and Humanities (SMITH). Beyond academics, we cultivate global citizens through service-learning trips, competitive athletics, diverse arts opportunities—including our alternative orchestra and theatre productions—and inspiring travel experiences across North America. Our philosophy encourages students to embrace individuality, express their style without uniforms, and grow into motivated, mature, self-directed learners ready to lead in the 21st century."
