As summer approaches, many parents are exploring the best educational opportunities for their children. If you're considering summer school, why not think outside the box and choose an option that combines academic excellence with the excitement of travel? Blyth Academy Travel Summer Programs offer a unique and enriching alternative to traditional summer school. With over 50,000 high school students taken abroad since 1977, we have extensive experience in providing safe and educational travel experiences.
Summer School with a Twist
Our programs provide the same rigorous academic curriculum as traditional summer school, but with the added benefit of travel. Students earn credits while exploring new destinations, making learning both effective and exhilarating.
Experiential Learning
By traveling to various locations, students immerse themselves in different cultures, languages, and histories – often in the very places they are learning about. This hands-on approach to learning ensures that lessons are not only understood but also remembered for a lifetime.
Unique Travel Experiences
Our programs take students to some of the most fascinating places around the world. Imagine exploring Classical Civilization in Rome or practicing Photography in a bustling Japanese market. These unique experiences make learning come alive in ways that a traditional classroom cannot.
Academic Excellence
Blyth Academy is renowned for its high academic standards. Our summer programs are taught by experienced educators who are passionate about their subjects and dedicated to student success. Your child will receive the same quality education they would in our traditional classroom setting found at our six Blyth Academy Ontario private school campuses.
Earn Academic Credits
One of the significant advantages of our travel programs is that students earn a Grade 11 or 12 OSSD credit. These credits are fully recognized and can be applied towards their high school diploma, ensuring that their summer learning contributes meaningfully to their academic progress. You can find a complete list of credits offered on our website, including English, International Business, Writer's Craft, Photography, and Classical Civilization.
Small Class Sizes
With a focus on personalized education, our small class sizes ensure that each student receives individual attention and support. This fosters a more effective and enjoyable learning experience.
Personal Growth
As teens, traveling and studying in new environments helps them develop independence, confidence, and a global perspective as they begin to prepare themselves for life in post-secondary school. These experiences are invaluable in preparing them for future academic and personal endeavours.
Adventure and Fun
Beyond academics, our programs include a variety of activities and excursions that make learning fun. From exploring historical sites to engaging in outdoor adventures, students create lasting memories and friendships.
Safety and Well-being
We prioritize the safety and well-being of our students. Our programs are led by expert guides and staff who are dedicated to ensuring a secure and supportive environment. We have comprehensive protocols in place to provide students with the freedom to explore while maintaining structure and rules to ensure their safety.
Choosing Blyth Academy Travel summer programs means giving your child an opportunity to grow academically, personally, and socially in a way that traditional summer school cannot offer. We believe that education should be an adventure, and we are committed to providing an exceptional experience for every student.
Traditional Summer School
We understand that not everyone will be able to travel this summer. For those who prefer a more traditional approach, we also offer in-person summer school options at our campuses, as well as a virtual teacher-led program that can be completed from anywhere. These alternatives ensure that every student has the opportunity to continue their education in a way that best suits their needs.
If you have any questions or would like more information about our programs, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to helping your child embark on an unforgettable educational journey this summer.
