We provide the spaces, the mentors, and the opportunities for you to turn learning into earning.
School of Accounting, Legal, and Office Administration
Every organization runs on people who know the rules, the details, and the systems that keep things moving, and you choose which part of that story you want to be a part of. In this school you will learn to manage books, understand law, or organize teams so others can succeed. If you like structure, trust, and being the one who makes sure everything gets done right, this is where you turn that skill into a career.
School of Arts: English and General Electives
Humanities ask the big questions: who we are, how we live, and what matters most, and you decide how to answer. Through English, writing, and communication studies you will sharpen your clarity of thought and expression, skills that open doors anywhere. In the Liberal Arts program, you gain university transfer credits and the foundation to study at Canada’s top universities. This is the school that prepares you not only for a career, but for a perspective you can carry into every part of your life.
School of Business
Business does not come with one path; it comes with as many as there are ideas. Here you will learn how ventures grow, how the world does business, and how leadership shows up in practice, then you decide how to build, change, and adapt. Whether your ambition is a local family-owned business or a globally recognized corporation, this is your launchpad.
School of Hospitality and Culinary Arts
Hospitality is about creating experiences people never forget, and you choose the kind you want to deliver. In our kitchens, labs, and classrooms you will learn not just the craft, but the heart of service, the difference between a meal and a memory. Whether you see yourself designing a menu, leading a hotel team, creating an event, or welcoming guests from around the world, this is where you begin to shape a career that touches people’s lives.
School of Media and Creative Arts
Creative work shapes how we see the world, and you get to decide what story to tell. From music to film to gaming, this is where you learn to capture attention, bring ideas to life, and move people through sound, image, and words. If you have something to say, or a vision to share, this is where you can find your voice and make it resonate.
