Mathematics
Mathematics approach at Metro Prep: Equal Balance
Metro Prep has an Equal Balance approach to Mathematics (as opposed to Traditional Math, Discovery Math approach).
[Show: About Equal Balance?]What Metro Prep says:
At Metropolitan Preparatory Academy, we believe that mathematical fluency requires both a strong foundation in core procedures and the ability to apply concepts creatively in real-world contexts. Our approach blends the best of Traditional and Discovery Math to create an engaging, rigorous, and adaptable learning experience. In the earlier grades, we emphasize mastery of fundamental algorithms and operations through practice and reinforcement, ensuring students have the tools they need to succeed. As students progress, we increasingly challenge them to explore open-ended problems, develop strategies, and make meaningful connections across topics. Teachers guide students in both directions—sometimes beginning with a real-world problem to inspire discovery, other times introducing a method first and then applying it across diverse contexts. This balanced approach fosters confidence, critical thinking, and flexibility, preparing students not only for advanced mathematics, but also for university-level thinking, innovation, and problem solving in any field.

Literature approach at Metro Prep: Equal Balance
Metro Prep has an Equal Balance approach to Literature (as opposed to Traditional, Social Justice approach).
[Show: About Equal Balance?]What Metro Prep says:
At Metropolitan Preparatory Academy, our literature program blends the timeless insight of the humanities with the urgency of today’s social discourse—an equal balance of traditional and social justice approaches. Students explore classic and contemporary works not only to decode plot, character, and theme, but also to understand literature as a powerful lens for examining identity, power, and societal change. In our classrooms, Shakespeare sits alongside Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and Orwell is read in conversation with Angie Thomas. Students engage in close textual analysis, write persuasive essays, and participate in Socratic discussions—while also reflecting on how literature challenges assumptions, sparks dialogue, and drives progress. Through guided inquiry, historical context, and student voice, we foster empathy, critical thinking, and global awareness. Our goal is for every student to appreciate great literature as both art and action—revealing truths about the world and inspiring them to shape it.

We believe that Big Ideas and Great Works offer essential context for the world students live in today. At the same time, we challenge students to think critically about contemporary society through studies in economics, psychology, geography, and global politics. They learn to craft persuasive essays, engage in informed debates, and collaborate on projects with real-world impact. By blending timeless inquiry with present-day relevance, our program cultivates analytical thinkers and empathetic citizens—students who understand the past, question the present, and are equipped to shape the future.

[Show: About Equal Balance?]What Metro Prep says:
At Metropolitan Preparatory Academy, we offer both Spanish and French with a balanced approach that blends audio-lingual precision with communicative fluency. Our students build strong foundational grammar and vocabulary through structured oral drills and written exercises, while also engaging in real-world conversations, cultural explorations, and interactive group work that brings language to life. From the earliest levels through Grade 9, students are immersed in the sounds, rhythms, and cultural contexts of the languages they study. Lessons are designed to reinforce listening, speaking, reading, and writing equally—helping students not only excel academically but also develop the confidence to use language meaningfully. Our program fosters an appreciation for linguistic diversity and global awareness, preparing students to be thoughtful communicators in an increasingly interconnected world.

Our balanced approach ensures students study major artistic movements and masterpieces while also gaining hands-on experience through studio work, stage productions, and collaborative projects. In our theatre program, students write, direct, and perform, learning the craft while developing communication, empathy, and leadership. We believe that the arts not only inspire but empower—equipping students with the tools to express their identities and influence the world around them. At MetroPrep, the arts are essential, not extracurricular.
Computers and Technology
Computers and Technology approach at Metro Prep: Heavy integration
Metro Prep has a Heavy integration approach to Computers and Technology (as opposed to Light integration, Medium integration approach).
[Show: About Heavy integration?]What Metro Prep says:
At Metropolitan Preparatory Academy, technology is deeply woven into every aspect of the student learning experience. We believe digital literacy is not just a modern necessity but a fundamental skill set that empowers students to lead, innovate, and thrive in a connected world. From Grades 7 through 12, students engage with technology across all subjects—using digital tools to conduct research, collaborate globally, code, analyze data, and create multimedia presentations. Our science and biotechnology programs leverage cutting-edge software and hardware, including in our dedicated DNA lab, where students explore real-world bioinformatics and genetic analysis. Courses in computer science, digital innovation, and coding further prepare students for careers in STEM, business, and beyond. We emphasize meaningful integration: technology is never used for its own sake, but always in service of deeper understanding, creativity, and future-ready skills. At MetroPrep, students do not just use technology—they master it.

Our primary commitment is to intellectual development: we challenge students to think deeply, ask bold questions, and engage meaningfully with the world around them. But equally important is our balanced, whole-child approach. In small, supportive classes, teachers know each student by name and mentor them personally, cultivating their confidence, creativity, and resilience. MetroPrep students leave not only prepared for university—but empowered to lead, contribute, and thrive in whatever path they choose.

Extracurricular Activities
While academics remain the priority for most private schools, many also place a strong focus on a well-rounded education and encourage participation in extracurricular activities such as sports, music, arts, or clubs. Involvement in extracurriculars helps stimulate students in their studies, makes them more motivated to learn, and can make school more enjoyable and fulfilling. Extracurricular activities can also provide students with a much-needed break from the stresses of academics, while helping them to develop skills and allowing them to take part in valuable social situations.

What Metro Prep says about their extracurricular activities:
- Metro Prep’s Elementary Track team competed at the annual SSAF meet held at Brampton’s Terry Fox Stadium. The boys were led by Christian, earning a whopping 4 medals in 5 events. Luka also fared well claiming silver in the 400m.
- SSAF Cross Country championships held at Sunnybrook Park. Over 500 athletes competed in six different categories for their chance to call themselves a champion. Metro athletes faired very well in the U20 boys division as Kieran and Kenny finished in the top 10 out of a competitive field.
- Metro Prep’s U20 Boys and Girls Track team competed well at the annual SSAF meet held at York University. Cameron placed 2nd in the long jump. Daniel earned a silver medal in the 400 meter dash. The girls were just as successful earning two medals of their own. Melanie placed 3rd in the 200 meter and Randi earned gold for Metro Prep in the triple jump.
- The Metro Prep Soccer team hosted the third annual Metro Cup Indoor Soccer Tournament earlier this semester. The tournament brought 12 schools together to compete at the nearby Toronto City Sports Centre Dome. Metro boasted a strong line up and prevailed through their quarter final match but fell short in the semifinals, finishing fourth overall. It was a strong showing and a great opportunity to keep working on ball handling skills in the winter.
- The girls’ basketball team had one of the most successful seasons to date. With leadership from senior captain Casey Q., and junior captain Casey A., the team earned its first birth into playoffs in years. The girls were committed and persevered through various challenges during the season. The team improved with every game and is looking forward to next season. We hope this positive performance and progression in girls’ basketball will lead to future success for the Metro Prep Predators.
- The hockey team once again hit the ice at the Victoria Village Arena every Tuesday throughout the year. Although the SSAF hockey tournament was cancelled this year the Metro team still was able to compete in an exhibition game against TMS. The team was led by seniors Nick and Josh, who held down the crease throughout the year.
- The Senior Basketball team fell short of their goal of winning three consecutive championships by losing in the semifinals to a tough team from ARS. Although the team did not finish a perfect season, progress was made throughout the year and a solid foundation has been laid down for a successful season next year. Highlights for the year include Batu scoring 60 points in a single game, Allen L. making 8 out of 10 three-pointers in the pre-season championship game, and Kirk leaving Metro Prep to continue his basketball career at Durham College.
- The Metro Prep Predators once again competed in the SSAF ball hockey championships held at the Magna Centre in Newmarket. The team was comprised of both ice hockey players and other students who learned their hockey skills in the gymnasium. The team battled hard but unfortunately lost in the semifinals. The team was led by Joshua R. who played hard and backstopped the team making over 100 stops on the day. Great job boys.
- The girls’ volleyball team had a very successful season this year. After finishing the regular season in 2nd place with a 4 and 1 record, they moved onto the final tournament which boasted the top 4 SSAF schools from the North and South divisions. After a tough day of battling on the court, the girls earned a respectable 5th place overall in the SSAF.
- Both the U20 and elementary students competed at the SSAF badminton championships this past spring. The elementary team unfortunately did not earn a spot in the playoff rounds but the senior team did extremely well in their qualifying tournament. Adam and Allen W. placed 2nd and 3rd in men's singles along with Terry and Pierce, who earned a 3rd place in the men's doubles competition and earned a spot in the championship tournament. Randi and Tiffany M. also qualified in women's doubles as well as Daniel D. and Melanie who qualified in mixed doubles.
- The tennis team once again competed at the annual SSAF invitational tournament held at the Mayfair tennis club. Entering both singles and doubles teams, the students battled through stiff competition throughout the day. Adam, Mark and Pierce all earned silver and bronze medals respectively!
- The boys’ soccer team had a very successful season. Starting way back in October the team participated in 2 indoor tournaments and finished the season in May competing in 2 outdoor tournaments. Although they came up short in the tournaments they did end the year with three 3rd place finishes against a very competitive group of teams.
- The senior softball team put in a tremendous amount of work throughout the season. They practiced 3 times a week, for over a month, and many players were able to greatly improve their overall ability. The team fared well at the tournament and finished with 3 wins and 2 losses on the day, eventually losing to the championship team.
- The elementary soccer team competed both in the SSAF indoor and outdoor championships this past year. The team battled hard and was able to earn a spot in the playoff rounds in both tournaments. They were led by strong goaltending by Luka and by their defensive line lead by Steven.
- MOUNTAIN BIKING- After a lengthy hiatus, the Metro mountain biking club has been resurrected. We have taken advantage of Metro's close proximity to the Don Valley mountain biking trails by going on weekly rides in the fall and spring. Berms were thrashed, jumps were hit, and roots were crushed.
- ARCHERY- Flinging arrows and putting holes in targets like Swiss cheese! This autumn, Metro Prep introduced the first ever Archery Club. The club practiced at the outdoor Toronto Archery Range in E.T. Seton Park, a little oasis amongst the towers of the concrete jungle we call Toronto. It was a safe and interactive environment where the club members learned how to shoot, handle and perfect their skills in archery.
- BOARD GAME CLUB- Every Monday after school, several students have been meeting in room 21 to have some friendly competition playing games. Each week, students have volunteered to bring in various board games or card games and compete against one another.
- ROCK CLIMBING CLUB- approximately 15 middle and high school students from Metro Prep attended a climbing trip to the Toronto Climbing Academy. For many of the students it was their first experience climbing. The students received professional instruction, rentals and were able to climb for three hours. A few students overcame their fear of heights and reached the top of the climbing walls.
- ROBOTICS CLUB- On Saturday, November 29, Metro Prep’s Robotics Club participated in the Vex Robotics Competition – Skyrise where they placed 22nd out of 69 schools. This competition had students build a complex robot and learn how to control and alter its handling characteristics. It was our first major robotics competition and the students did very well. We will look to improve our performance next year.
