A FLEXIBLE WAY OF LEARNING

Because we're trailblazers at heart. Education is changing – and so is the world we live and work in – and we want to be at the forefront by creating a studio school that's ready for the modern economy (and whatever comes next).

Over the past couple of years, it was so clear that every student learns differently – many students struggled with remote learning, but others thrived. We wanted to create a pathway for you to continue learning in the way you do best – without sacrificing the importance of in-person collaboration or a strong academic program.

Our flexible schedule, personalized learning streams, and two unique pathways:

STAND ONLINE

• Learn anytime, anywhere – perfect for athletes, performers, world travellers, and independent learners.
• Module-based courses at your own pace with support from STS faculty through tutorials, check-ins, and chat.
• Access partnership programs including dual credit, industry credentials, and immersive opportunities.
• Simplified STAND uniform required for exams or campus visits.

STS FLEX

• Blend online learning with the vibrancy of STS campus life.
• Ideal for advanced learners seeking creativity, collaboration, and community.
• Flexible schedules with both online and in-person classes.
• Full access to STS extracurriculars plus Design Studio and Changemaker programs.
• STS uniform required for all on-campus activities.

Our schedule and model at STAND allow you to have the time and flexibility you need to pursue your interests outside of school. STS FLEX students have full access to STS co-curricular and extracurricular programming, while STAND ONLINE students may participate in select opportunities. Please note that not all activities will be available to STAND ONLINE students. Talk to our admissions team for more information.

STAND students are naturally collaborative and great communicators. You’re able to work independently with less structure than a traditional school program. You know that you learn better at home, or when you can choose where and how you work. You’re self-motivated, you’re comfortable asking for help, you want to challenge yourself academically, and you want the flexibility to balance your passions with a world-class education.

Our parent school (STS) encourages students to say YES to their futures. STAND takes that one step further. We drew inspiration from the world of improv and the idea that meeting every challenge and obstacle with the attitude of YES, AND – building on what you have to work with, and exploring where each scene will take you – will take you farther than you can imagine. We want to be known not just as The School of Yes, but The School of Yes, And.
