Welcome to Toronto Academy of EMC
Teach for love. Learn for life.
We offer two different full-time program packages for high school students. These program packages are catered to high-achieving, ambitious students who wish to take up post-secondary education at most of the major universities in Canada/US.
One important feature of our school is the number of scholarships we give out to both our new and returning students. In any given year, we will be awarding 3 full-tuition scholarships. In addition, there are numerous scholarships ranging in values from 2000 up to 50 percent of tuition.
Who We Are
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 a University professor and three Ph. D students.
We are a group of educators who are very passionate about helping students to
achieve their academic objectives and career goals.
Our program of studies in the areas of our name 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.
We also offer many other credits courses that are required for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma.
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. Our school’s motto “Teach for love. Learn for life” is a
reflection of this conviction of ours.
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.
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 endeavours.

Phuc worked as a teacher assistant during his second year as an undergraduate student and went on to work as a graduate assistant after he completed his undergraduate degree in Mathematics with a minor in Chemistry. He is currently a PhD student at Guelph University. His area of study is Mathematical Biology.
Professor Lan is a full professor in Toronto Metropolitan University. He is a Ph. D supervisor, and has supervised many postdoctoral fellows, Ph. D and Master students. His postdoctoral fellows have currently been professors in universities of China and USA, and some of his Master students have continued their study for Ph. D degrees in Canadian universities such as Queen's university, University of Waterloo, York university and Toronto Metropolitan University. More information about his teaching, research and students under his supervision can be found in https://math.ryerson.ca/~klan/home.php
Every student who is in a full-year program at our school will receive a minimum of 15 hours of tutoring free of charge per semester. This will allow students to achieve their best possible academic standing during the year.
Every student who is enrolled in a full-year program at our school will be provided with enrichment study sessions in math, physics and English for 6 weeks during the summer.
Students coming from outside of Canada face many challenges in transitioning to a new country. We will try our best to find a welcoming family for every incoming student. The safety and comfort of our students are our most important priorities.
