Welcome to Queen’s Elite Academy! We offer innovative and progressive education. Our outstanding administrators and faculty members all work together to ensure student success while maintaining a warm and friendly atmosphere. We pride ourselves in balancing being at the forefront of educational practices, elements of the traditional educational concept, and providing an exciting educational experience.
In the past 30 years of teaching experience and 15 years of principalship, I have been looking for the true purpose of high school education. Based on the traditional education concept, we have introduced experiential courses such as science and technology, innovative and outdoor courses to motivate students’ imagination and executive ability. We have optimized our educational resources for students to provide academic, sports, arts, leadership, and other aspects of rigorous training and unlimited possibilities. We welcome students from diverse backgrounds to join our QEA student body.
Education is unbounded, and there is no end to the path for great learning experiences and outcomes. Our Elite Programs, Elite Courses, Challenge Courses and Mentorship Programs support this approach and are assisted by many academic professionals We do not regard admission to University as the end of education. By contrast, we are pleased to see that Queen’s Elite Academy graduates not only enter the world’s top universities with outstanding achievements, but also adapt quickly to the intense demands of study and demonstrate their expertise and abilities in the workplace.
Whether our students choose to stay in Canada, return to their hometown, or travel to other parts of the world as do some QEA graduates, I am sure our students will always remember the learning experiences, friendships, and the abilities fostered at QEA.
