Peel Summer Academy

Who are we?

Since 1984, Peel Summer Academy (PSA) has seen thousands of young minds flourish while experiencing social, intellectual, and personal growth. Our programs are distinguished by, and unique to, the type of students we cater to.

Our Philosophy:

We are committed to nurturing and developing the gifts of youth who are exceptional thinkers, intellectually curious, bright, creative, and demonstrate diversity in achieving excellence. It is our goal to encourage each camper to broaden their horizons, challenge their comfort levels, and think outside of the box, while embracing adventure sure to shape their character. PSA provides like-minded youth the opportunities to grow independently, engage in hands-on and interactive workshops, live away from home, experience unique parts of Canada, and build meaningful relationships to last a lifetime.

Our Programs

PSA offers 4 unique summer programs, varying in context and grade level. Program locations expand across Canada, from Newfoundland to British Columbia:

• UTM Experience (grade 4 to 8 students)
• Exploration Lead-ON (grade 7 & 8 students)
• West Coast Marine Discovery (grade 9 students)
• Newfoundland Adventure (grade 10 students)

PSA is the only program of its kind in Canada, and thus, open to students across Canada and abroad. We provide intellectual stimulation, a variety of recreational and social activities, and an opportunity to live away from home, in a well-supervised context, with a wonderful group of peers who share the same intellectual gifts.

Please join us @ our ANNUAL OPEN HOUSE on Sunday, March 4th 2012 from 1 to 4pm at the University of Toronto Mississauga campus (Instructional Centre). From 1 to 2:30 we will showcase the course offerings affiliated with the 'UTM Experience'. This is a great opportunity to meet Instructors and see what courses interest you most! At 2:30, we will have a formal presentation where we will review all Peel Summer Academy program offerings. We look forward seeing you there!

Check out our newest addition to the line-up - the FAR NORTH EXPEDITION. This summer learning adventure takes secondary school students to the "polar bear capital of the world" while studying various facets of global climate change in Canada, and abroad. Check out the blog from the students this past summer.

Please visit us at our FAR NORTH INFORMATION NIGHT on Wednesday February 22nd from 7 to 8pm at Tree Tops – 190 Robert Speck Pkwy.
