Learn to Lead is a two-week pre-university program for secondary students on the University of Toronto Mississauga campus https://www.utm.utoronto.ca/about-us/fact-sheet
A key goal is to support teens in developing the capacity to examine local, global and intercultural issues and appreciate the perspectives and world views of others. They will engage in open, appropriate and effective interactions with people from different cultures and develop action-oriented networking and communication skills (OECD, PISA 2018 Global Competencies).
Students learn in state-of-the art classrooms with world class University of Toronto professors and student mentors who support and deliver academic planning, leadership skill and language development workshops. Participants select a subject area of interest including medicine and health, entrepreneurship, finance, business, technology, innovation or environmental sustainability. In their subject classes they tackle problems, think critically working and learning in a research intensive setting with University of Toronto faculty.
Participants in the Learn to Lead program live on campus where they will make connections and build relationships with students their age from around the world. They will enjoy a variety of educational tours of local sites along with outdoor activities, sports, music and cultural experiences.
A University of Toronto Certificate is awarded upon completion of the program.

UC Summer Drama for International Students introduces participants to training that is offered in a post secondary theatre program.
Intensive workshops in voice, movement, performance, improv, stage combat or electronic sound/music design begin each day. During afternoon sessions, students participate in “Embodied English” classes. A unique ESL program developed at the University of Toronto that uses theatrical techniques to improve intonation, vocabulary and articulation. For native English speakers, additional theatrical workshops would be provided in the afternoons. Evenings and weekends allow members of our team to take the students out to explore Toronto’s rich and diverse cultural and artistic scene.
Our program culminates in a Closing Ceremony where students present what they’ve worked on during their stay with us.
Pre-University Programs – Global Citizenship Program (GCP)
Campus & Department: St. George – New College International Programs
Age Group: Ages 15-18
Program Dates: 3 weeks, 2 sessions, July 27 – July 27, July 28 – August 17
Residence component: Yes
Financial assistance/Scholarship: Yes
Email contact: [email protected]
The Pre-University programs are designed to prepare students and expose them to the skills and critical thinking required at the university level. The GCP in particular is modelled using project-based learning, where students will tackle a Global Challenge over the course of three weeks, working in small teams to research and address world issues, formulate a solution, culminating in a final project presentation at the end of the program.
Students will take morning Communication Classes and afternoon Global Citizenship Workshops, learning about different methods of critical thinking and analysis, as well as practical application of those skills. As an all-inclusive residential program, students will also participate in evening activities and weekend excursions during the program. This program accepts both international and domestic students, and has a minimum English level requirement (students are asked to self-assess, but an EPT result is not mandatory) as there will be no English language support during the program.
Pre-University Programs – Advanced Academic Program (AAP)
Campus & Department: St. George – New College International Programs
Age Group: Ages 15-18
Program Dates: 4 weeks, 2 sessions, June 30 – July 27, July 28 – August 24
Residence component: Yes
Financial assistance/Scholarship: No
Email contact: [email protected]
Similar to the GCP, the AAP is designed to prepare students and expose them to the skills required at the university level. However, where GCP is project-based, AAP is lecture-based, focusing on the reading, writing, note-taking, and discussion skills that students will need during their university studies.
Students will need to take both a morning course and an afternoon course of their choosing. These courses are experiential and will not have any credit associated. Since the AAP is designed for international students with English as a Second Language, there will be English language support throughout the program – however, given the course content covered, we students will need at least a high-intermediate level of English in order to be eligible for the program (students are asked to self-assess, but an EPT result is not mandatory).
Morning Courses: World Economics / Language & Literature
Afternoon Courses: Law, Ethics & Society / Film & Cinema Studies / Critical Thinking in Statistics
