Learning Beyond Acceleration
WHAT IF
accelerated academics were just the starting point?
Our accelerated curriculum does more than move quickly. UTS gives students the space to examine ideas deeply, connect learning across disciplines and take on work that demands independence, imagination and ethical judgment. Students build strong academic foundations and become highly effective collaborators. They have opportunities to extend their learning through 60 honours-level courses and 18 Advanced Placement courses. Here, they prepare for university in an environment where challenge is matched by guidance and support.

A WORLD-LEADING UNIVERSITY WITHIN REACH
WHAT IF
your high school gave you access to one of the world’s leading universities?
UTS is an independent school affiliated with the University of Toronto. Its location in the heart of the university’s downtown campus places students in a culture of discovery, scholarship and societal engagement. Students have opportunities to learn in University of Toronto libraries and use university athletic facilities. The affiliation also gives UTS a distinctive educational horizon: school learning is connected to the ideas, expertise and possibilities of a leading research university.
A WORLD-LEADING UNIVERSITY WITHIN REACH
WHAT IF
your school offered more than 100 ways to participate, create and lead?
School life is much more than a student’s timetable. At UTS, students find their people and their purpose through clubs, student leadership, service, athletics, the arts and even initiatives they create themselves. With more than 100 co-curricular opportunities, over 30 competitive teams and a leadership opportunities across every facet of student life, students can deepen existing passions, try something different or gather others around a new idea. Taking part is essential to the UTS experience. Co-curriculars are where students practice courage, collaboration, responsibility and leadership.
UTS students lead major events, including the Southern Ontario Model United Nations Assembly and the Girls in Tech Conference. They also represent Canada on the world stage.
