Why Bond Academy?
Private high school fees in Toronto vary widely, so families often look for a school that offers the OSSD on a reasonable budget and publishes its fees. Bond Academy's structure, running from kindergarten to the end of high school, and its published fee table address that need.
- Budget clarity: Families who want to see every fee item in advance can review the school's international fee table.
- University-focused programs: Students who need more support than the standard OSSD can choose from several program levels.
- One school for siblings: Families sending children of different ages can place them all on the same campus.
Reasons: features that set Bond Academy apart
The school's website and international fee table show the following features.
- Small-class OSSD: The high school follows the Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum in small classes, so students receive more individual teacher attention on the path to the diploma.
- Tiered programs: OSSD, OSSD+, University Pathway and University Elite Pathway let families choose the level of academic support that fits their budget.
- ESL and ELD courses: English as a Second Language and English Literacy Development are part of the curriculum and run alongside credit courses.
- AP connection: Because the school is linked to the Advanced Placement program, strong students can prepare for university-level exams.
- Homestay: Students in grades 9–12 can get a single room with a host family for CAD 1,800–2,200 per month, so accommodation costs can be calculated upfront.
- Transport: The campus lies between Lawrence Avenue East and Ellesmere Road, near the Warden and Kennedy subway stations, so students can reach school by public transit.
- Basketball program: The school runs a high-level basketball program, so athletes can combine training with their academic schedule.

Who it suits and what to consider
- Who it suits: Students who want to live with a host family in Toronto, earn the OSSD on a reasonable budget, and prepare for university.
- Costs: On top of tuition, families should budget for health insurance (CAD 700 per year), an activity fee (CAD 800), a uniform (CAD 300) and a CAD 300 application fee. The table covers 2025–26, so families should confirm current fees with the school before applying.
- Accommodation and location: The campus has no residence. The school is in Scarborough, not downtown. Students under 17 need a custodian, and the school charges a one-time custodianship processing fee of CAD 300.
Practical notes
A study permit is required for studies longer than six months, and IRCC alone makes the decision. The school year runs from September to June. High school study is exempt from the Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) requirement.
