MIA meets all the qualities I ever wanted in a school. Firstly, it is located downtown at Yonge and Bloor which is a huge plus. So easy to get to, no bus or streetcar needed. Secondly, the class sizes are not too big and not too small, and every teacher and staff knows your name. They really spend their free time helping you in every way, whether it is school-related, or personal issues. I have had my teachers guide me through my university applications, help me practice for a job interview, and even help me budget my for my first year of university! The teachers and staff go above and beyond. I still keep in touch with them whenever I need advice, as I find them more helpful than my university professors! I truly recommend MIA, the staff and teachers alone are an investment into your future. I don't know where I would be without them.

The teachers and staff felt like a second family; in particular, Mr. Justin and Ms. Kareena stood out. I strongly value Ms. Sylvia’s guidance and support throughout my journey, and I truly appreciate MIA for providing this wonderful opportunity.

I am a graduate of this school and was well taken care of during my time there. The teachers were very considerate of international students, and Principal Sylvia even used her break time to help me with English so I could adapt to life in Canada. I am deeply grateful for the support and tireless efforts of the staff. For anyone seeking a formal, professional, reliable, and enthusiastic learning environment, I highly recommend this school.
