Ithaca Family Academy

We guide students through real-world projects where they learn by building, testing, collaborating, and presenting. They can discover their strengths, interests, and a direction that is truly their own.

We use Project-Based Learning (PBL) to connect learning with real-world problems and challenges, and to develop practical skills that traditional academics alone cannot fully cover.

Students learn how to use AI responsibly, cite properly, and build work that can be explained and defended through transparent review and public showcase formats.
Ithaca students engaged in project-based learning by interviewing Dr. Reza Moridi, the former Ontario Minister of Research, Innovation and Science, and Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities, to promote youth empowerment.
Students from the Ithaca PBL team visited Honda’s production line to explore how artificial intelligence contributes to the car manufacturing process at Honda Canada, emphasizing youth empowerment in their educational experience.
Students in the EV program in Ithaca gained hands-on experience through PBL while working in the workshop, fostering youth empowerment.
Students interviewed Dr. Peter Teertstra, a professor in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Waterloo, about his insights on PBL and its role in youth empowerment, particularly in places like Ithaca.
Dr. Peter Teertstra, Professor at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Waterloo, and Director of the Sedra Student Design Centre, was leading the Ithaca students on a tour of the Student Design Centre.
