Our mission is to craft a high-performance basketball training and education program that transcends conventional boundaries.
High5 Academy
At H5 Academy, our commitment to academic excellence is fortified by our strategic partnership with Central Technical School (CTS) and the Toronto District School Board (TDSB). This alliance highlights our unwavering dedication to seamlessly integrating athletics and education, with H5 Academy distinct from CTS. Our student-athletes at H5 Academy benefit from a robust support system at CTS, including child and youth counselors, special education teachers, social workers, and psychologists. Additionally, our collaboration with TDSB enhances the overall academic experience.
H5 Academy student-athletes take on the responsibility of a full course load at CTS, ensuring alignment with Ontario Secondary School Diploma credits. To emphasize our commitment to academics, we enforce mandatory Study Hall sessions and rigorous attendance monitoring. Continuous communication between our guidance counselors and classroom teachers underscores our dedication to student success. This comprehensive approach creates an environment where athletes not only excel academically but also thrive athletically and grow emotionally, preparing them for success both on and off the court.
