Top 7 A Level Schools in Toronto (2025–2026 Ranking Guide)
Top 7 A Level Schools in Toronto
This guide is written by Tutopiya’s education experts to help families compare A Level options.
Toronto’s mainstream high school routes are the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and IB, but some families look for British A Level-style pathways through Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel A Levels or similar sixth form programmes. This guide focuses on those options and excludes full IB-only and American-only schools.
How this list is ranked (and what “A Level results data” really means)
Because A Level-style routes are niche in Toronto, useful datapoints include:
- Whether a provider offers full Cambridge/Edexcel A Levels or selected A Level subjects
- A*/A and A*/A/B rates where British A Levels are offered
- Clear evidence of university destinations for British-route students
- Cohort size and depth of A Level teaching experience
- Accreditation with Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel
The Top 7 (Toronto)
Below are 7 widely short‑listed Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel A Level pathways and options for Toronto-based families (A Levels are niche alongside OSSD).
- British-curriculum and international schools in Greater Toronto with A Level routes – Use Cambridge International and Pearson school finders to identify current A Level providers.
- Independent schools offering a British sixth form or A Level strand alongside OSSD – Verify which schools offer full or partial A Level and which board.
- Private A Level colleges in Toronto – Confirm Cambridge/Edexcel accreditation and exam-centre status.
- Approved Cambridge/Edexcel A Level exam centres in Toronto – Essential for private candidates and online learners.
- Tutopiya / King’s InterHigh / Wolsey Hall Oxford (online A Levels) – UK distance-learning college; Cambridge and Edexcel A Levels with exams at approved centres.
- Hybrid pathways – Combining an OSSD day school with selected A Level subjects online; confirm exam-centre arrangements.
- Tutoring and support – Toronto-based specialists in British A Level content can complement school or online study.
What to do next (quick checklist)
- Confirm whether a provider offers full Cambridge/Edexcel A Levels, which subjects are available, and how they’re timetabled.
- Ask for recent A Level results and university destinations specific to British-route students.
- Check how the provider supports UCAS and other international applications, and how A Level study fits with OSSD or other local requirements.
