Named for one of Canada's most celebrated landscape artists, A.Y. Jackson Secondary School offers a strong arts and sciences program. Most students focus on mathematics and science and almost half of the school's 1300 students take part in visual arts, dramatic arts, or full band and orchestra groups.


Since its opening in 1970, the school has established a tradition of academic excellence and community service. Students are encouraged to participate in and contribute to the total life of the school through involvement in school teams, clubs, community service projects, and the extensive visual arts, drama, and music programs.


Most of A.Y. Jackson's students prepare for college or university admission. The school's programs emphasize the importance of acquiring learning skills as well as academic content. With the help of a fully networked and computerised information center, students develop research skills in all subjects.


A.Y. Jackson welcomes students from all over the world. Its international program involves opportunities for exchanges with students from Japan, Taiwan, Mexico, and France.
