Why Choose
MIA
Well Designed Curriculum
The Ontario Ministry
of Education provides all schools with guidelines for the development
of academic courses. MIA implements these guidelines by combining
the highest qualified faculty support material.
MIA works with an experienced and eminent educational consultant whose
duties are to guide our school through the Ontario government's education
curriculum, and to introduce new teaching techniques to our teachers.
With her help, we can qualify and better prepare our students for
the 21st century.

with Ontario Teaching Certificates and extensive teaching experience.

systems as smooth as possible.

All Year Round Enrollment
MIA operates on a tri-semester system, which enables our students
to register all year round with the flexible timetable. The semesters
start in September, January, and April. In addition, to accommodate
the special needs of certain students who wish to take additional
courses, McDonald also offers the Summer School Program, which starts
in the beginning of July, and ends in mid-August.
Our North York Campus offers even more flexibility with their fast
track program. Semesters there start every 2 months, year round.
Small Classes
Small classes mean more personal attention from the teachers, which
provides students with a better educational environment and hence
more chances for success.
Our small classes afford opportunities for the respect and recognition
of student achievement. We try to size our class within the range
of 15-25 students, which allows more time for students to interact
and communicate in the class, and to develop independent reasoning,
and creative thinking skills.
High University and College Entrance Rate
Each year approximately 300 students graduate from MIA and successfully
enter top Canadian and U.S. universities and colleges. 10% of our
graduates receive University Entrance Scholarships between CAD $500.00
to $10,000.00. The majority of our students continue on to famous
universities such as the University
of Toronto, York
University, McGill University, the University of Waterloo and
many others.
