Blyth Academy’s educational travel programs are designed with this in mind. For over 40 years, we have taken thousands of students abroad, providing safe, structured, and enriching opportunities to see the world while learning alongside Canadian teachers and peers. 

For families outside of Canada, our travel programs offer something unique: the chance for your child to experience English immersion, pursue a passion subject, and build global friendships, all within a carefully guided program led by experienced educators.
