Our Teachers
Royal Crown teachers work tirelessly year after year toward the education and enrichment of our students. They are dedicated professionals who truly love teaching and being part of our students’ transition into university and beyond.
We encourage ongoing professional development that will move our teachers forward, while ensuring that they strongly maintain our vision and core values. And can you name another international school that can boast that 64% of our teachers have a Master’s degree or PhD?
Royal Crown teachers foster a love of learning. They proactively identify what learning style works best for each student and tailor their methods accordingly.
Our teachers use assessment tools to ensure our students are always on track. Additionally, they play an active role in our student’s lives beyond the classroom, serving as advisors to help them achieve life skills and personal growth.
360° Academic Support
Royal Crown focuses on helping all of our students succeed within our academic system. That includes students that we have identified as those requiring additional help.
We provide our students with the dynamic support they need to truly expand their capabilities.
Our Academic Support Program includes subject tutors and teachers, student mentors and peer tutors.
We even have tutors available at our residences.
Our Academic Support Program is yet another reason why we have been able to achieve a 100% graduation rate with many of our students receiving early acceptance, scholarships and multiple admissions offers.
English As A Second Language
Royal Crown offers ESL courses for international students – for all levels from beginner to advanced. Our course instructors have years of experience and our classes are capped at 10 students. Students attend ESL classes 25 hours per week.
Students can make ESL classes part of their regular class schedule. They prepare students for high school, university and beyond. Our ESL classes can also help prepare students for the IELTS test.

Nike Basketball Program
Royal Crown is the only high school in Canada with a Nike Basketball Program integrated right into it. Led by world-renowned coach Dwayne Washington, the program currently has 40 elite players who attend classes at the school and play in famous tournaments such as The Geico Nationals held in New York City.
Many of these student athletes (young men and women) are Team Canada members and are some of the most sought-after high school basketball players in the world.
We provide these student athletes with academic knowledge and life skills they will need to prosper in today’s challenging and competitive world.
Our athletes enjoy the complete 360° Royal Crown campus experience. They live, take classes and enjoy extracurriculars with our general student population. In turn, our non-athletes have the opportunity to dwell beside players that are following in the footsteps of NBA superstars such as OKC Thunders’ Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and New York Knicks R.J. Barrett who were schooled in the game by Coach Washington.


University Preparation Process
The university preparation process begins immediately after a student enters Royal Crown.
A guidance counsellor will work with them to develop a Post-Secondary Pathway, that serves as a roadmap putting them on path they need to follow to achieve their university goal.
Students will learn what courses they need to take and what grades they will require. Each year, the counsellor will meet with the student to determine whether they are on the right track or if any changes need to be made.
The university application process begins in the Fall of Grade 12. Guidance is on top of all stages and parents are kept abreast of all activities, every step of the way.
Thanks to the solid relationships that have been established between Royal Crown Guidance and the admissions departments at major universities, our students are recruited by top schools.
