A school that fits your needs
CNA suits students seeking flexible pacing, video-based teaching or a smaller school setting. Students balancing sport, performance, travel or other commitments can discuss a workable course plan with Guidance. Our Markham campus is intentionally small. CNA offers day-school and homestay options rather than on-campus boarding. Online study provides flexibility, with less everyday face-to-face interaction than a conventional campus experience.
