Discover QEA
Welcome to Queen’s Elite Academy – an academic institution that provides students with a strong academic foundation in a safe and nurturing environment.
Queen’s Elite Academy (QEA) is an international high school that offers culturally enriched and academically challenging university preparatory programs for students.
Our school draws upon the foundations of Ontario’s private-school education system, and integrates the diverse educational concepts of international high schools with localized education models. That is because we are committed to training global leaders and bringing together international active talents.
While laying the foundation for a lifetime discovery and learning, Queen’s Elite Academy embraces critical thinking, social awareness and entrepreneurship in the curriculum, involving students in various workshops, activities and volunteering. QEA has helped students develop an understanding of educational and career opportunities, utilizing a self-discovery approach to identify their interests, talents, and work values.
Why QEA
QEA provides students with an effective and meaningful high school learning experience, that not only enables them to successfully enter prestigious universities, but also extends their learning methods, analytical abilities, and social practice experiences.
Critical Thinking
It is significant in the learning process of internalization, in the construction of basic ideas and principles, whereby those ideas are implemented as they become relevant in students’ lives.
Meaningful Activities
We embrace critical thinking, social skills and entrepreneurship in our co-curriculum, involving our students in various workshops, activities and volunteering.
Personal fitness and health
Participating in sports activities can improve students’ social skills, perseverance, patience, and teamwork spirit, which would benefit students in the long term.
Self-discipline
Self-discipline is one useful skills that QEA students should possess. It allows students to resist immediate wants in support of higher-impact, longterm goals. This skill is essential in academic and career success well beyond the tween years.
Democratic principles
Economic growth has always been associated with political democracy, the modern legal system, and multi-cultures. As future elites, students should be aware of the importance of democracy, tolerance and diversity.
Responsibility and commitment
These two have been considered not only as important characters of successful leaders, but also as the fundamental qualities of QEA school behaviors.
Vision & Mission
