Ty Nelson, former student from Blyth Academy Downsview Park for Elite Athletics, was drafted by the Seattle Kraken 68th overall in the 2022 NHL Draft.

If you were to walk into Ms. Zawawi’s classroom at Blyth Academy Downsview Park, you would see a lively and colourful room with tables of students working cooperatively. You would hear a hum of students' voices engaged in active learning and the occasional joke that would diverge the entire class into laughter. In this classroom, you would feel a sense of belonging. Small class sizes allow teachers like Ms. Z to offer a personalized approach to learning and classrooms that create community. Each student has a place and feels heard and seen.
Throughout virtual learning, Blyth Academy Downsview Park for Elite Athletes has organized guest speakers to keep students engaged and motivate to work hard in their academics and athletics. Today, they were joined by Hockey Hall of Fame inductee, Eric Lindros, who talked about his career, leadership, and what it takes to reach your goals: “When things are the hardest, you have to shine your brightest.”
As per the government announcement today, schools in Toronto must continue learning virtually until February 10th.While we are sure everyone would prefer be learning in person..
We hope you have all been enjoying your Holiday break! As a result of the recent government announcement, we will be shifting our school to virtual classrooms as of January 4th.
