Discover the Delano Difference
We are Vaughan’s Leading University Preparatory Private School.
​
At Delano Academy, we offer more than just academics; we cultivate excellence across Academics, Arts, Athletics, and Character Development.
Our program is uniquely balanced and built to challenge and inspire bright, high-achieving students.
​
We are not defined by a single educational philosophy. Instead, we draw from the best of Montessori, IB, Reggio Emilia, and gifted education principles to create a dynamic, individualized approach that evolves with your child.
​
Our students don’t just learn facts, they learn how to learn. We teach lifelong strategies for critical thinking, self-direction, and growth, skills that extend far beyond university into real life.
​
We are progressive in our educational methods, yet grounded in strong core values. At Delano, we prepare students for a rapidly changing world by equipping them with the 21st Century skills they need to lead with confidence, purpose, and integrity.

If you’re looking for an education that goes beyond the expected, one that nurtures your child’s full potential, Delano Academy is different.
