ABOUT US
Toronto Academy of English, Mathematics and Coding, or simply EMC, is a newly established
private school providing relevant, high-quality education for students from grades
9 – 12 based on the Ontario Secondary School Curriculum.
Our school is founded and run by the the professor’s in the Department of Mathematics
at Ryerson University and the Ph. D students in the Ph. D programs of Universities in
Toronto. We are a group of educators who are very passionate about helping students to
achieve their academic objectives and career goals.
As implicit in our school’s name, English, Mathematics and Coding are our main areas of
focus. Consequently, our program of studies in these areas will be of the highest caliber.
Especially, in the subject areas of Mathematics and Coding, we have an impressive group of
teachers and program advisers who possess an in-depth and thorough knowledge of the
curriculum topics being presented. In addition to these three subject areas, we also offer
many other credits courses that are required for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma.
Regardless of the subject areas, all of our teachers at EMC have been carefully selected not
only because of their qualifications and past records of effective teaching, but also in their
enthusiasm and love in communicating their subject matter. Indeed, our school’s motto
“TEACH FOR LOVE. LEARN FOR LIFE” is a reflection of this conviction of ours.
It is our conviction that teachers who are passionate about their teaching can then instill
in their students the necessary motivations and desire for lifelong learning. And through
this process of continual learning and exploring new ideas that our students can strive to
realize their full potential.

Teaching is not simply a process by which information is imparted from the
teacher to the students. While giving students some of the fundamentals - in
the subject is commendable, its importance is minor relative to the overall
objective of teaching.
To us, the most valuable aspect that students come away with from a genuine
education is the ability and habit to think critically.
Thinking critically includes questioning all assumptions and evidence for
consistency, reducing complex situations to simpler ones, drawing analogies
between seemingly different problems, differentiating between
-
essential and non-essential “data”, recognizing common methods that can
be applied beyond a particular context, making inferences from concrete
situations to more general ones.
When studying in a learning environment where critical thinking is always
enhanced and encouraged, students can develop their skills and habits of
self-seeking and examining what they learn and they need.
In the age of Google and Facebook, from Apple Siri to Amazon Alexa, the
enormously expanding amount of raw data that exists makes it all the
more necessary to develop a habit and the skill for critical thinking. The
student who has learnt to think critically would have acquired the essential -
life-long learning skills which are far more meaningful than any known
facts, formulas or theorems.
Providing an environment where critical thinking skills and habits are constantly
practiced and encouraged is one of our primary endeavors.

OUR PROGRAM PACKAGES
We offer 2 different full-year program packages, Package A and Package A+. Each of these program
packages will allow students to enroll in up to 8 credits courses for two semesters. Included in each
package are the Tutoring Support and the Enrichment Summer Camp. While both packages will
prepare students well for post-secondary studies, we are very confident that our Package A+ will give
the students the highest chance of being accepted into most of the major universities in Canada/US.
In fact, we are so confident in our ability and commitment in delivering the highest quality in education
that we are putting forward the following guarantee:
Any student who had previously enrolled in Package A+ during each of
the final two years of high school (grad 11 and grade 12) is entitled to
retake any credit courses or any IELTS courses that are currently being
run at our school for as long as necessary until that student gets
accepted into a university/college of his/her choice.
