Welcome to Old Scona Academic. Our school’s history and legacy of academic success continues to support our school’s focus in preparing students for university and beyond. Our annual standardized achievement results continue to demonstrate that Old Scona is one of the top-achieving academic schools in the world. Each year our graduates return and share with us how well Old Scona staff and school prepared them for post-secondary scholarship.

 Having celebrated our 100th anniversary, Old Scona is one of the oldest high schools in Canada and a leading academic centre for students wishing additional rigor and challenge in their studies. Every year our graduates receive a multitude of scholarships and access to some of the most prestigious universities in Canada and around the world. The pride, dedication and hard work that our students place on their educational goals is not only the secret to their high school success but also the secret to their continued success.

 Our school’s purpose is to provide motivated students with an opportunity to pursue a program of studies that challenges and enriches their knowledge base and at the same time promotes the characteristics of respectful and responsible global citizenship. With a full population of only 360 students, our small school campus fosters a close knit community where students get to know and are well supported by our staff. In addition, students have the opportunities to form close friendships and maintain a peer support structure that continues for rest of their lives. We are proud of the multi-cultural ethos in our school that stems from the embracement and acceptance of all students who come from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds, lifestyles and beliefs. Our students look forward to engaging with their peers in the many clubs, activities and sports offered at our school. Old Scona Academic has something to offer any aspiring young mind that treasures the quest for knowledge and understanding.
