Canada Prep Academy, formerly Canada Prep Football Academy, is a private, all-boys preparatory school located in Jordan, Ontario, Canada. It is the only high school in Canada to play a full season of American football exclusively against US high schools. The school has an enrollment of about 45 students, including grade 11, 12 and postgrad (PG) students. Students come from across Canada, including Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia. A small number of international students from the United Kingdom are enrolled.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Neville Gallimore of Ottawa brings a small, football-first school major notice )〕 Most students board on campus. There are five teachers and six coaches, some of whom live on campus and act as residential supervisors. ==History== Canada Prep Academy began in the former Merritton High School building, once the community high school until its closure due to low enrollment in 1999. The building was purchased by Pinehurst School in 2001, and operated as Pinehurst until November 2013. Canada Prep Academy, then Canada Prep Football Academy, was originally founded in January 2012 as a football program which aimed to fill the void created by the closure of the similar but controversial Niagara Football Academy. The head coach of the Niagara Spartans, Geoff McArthur, came to lead the Canada Prep Raiders, as they were now called. Canada Prep Academy partnered with Pinehurst School to offer its academics, and operated a separate wing and campus of Pinehurst. This partnership remained until Pinehurst ceased operations due to its own low enrollment numbers〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Neville Gallimore of Ottawa brings a small, football-first school major notice )〕 Canada Prep Academy, the school, was founded in 2014 to allow the program to have control over its own academics. Its original teacher, Patrick Fife, became principal and oversaw the process of becoming inspected by the Ministry of Education. The original Canada Prep logo, a red football with a white maple leaf, became only one part of a larger school crest that emphasizes academics, university preparation, and fitness. In January 2015, Canada Prep Academy announced that it was relocating out of the city to the countryside where there was room to grow and expand. The school is now located on a 7-acre property in Jordan, Ontario. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canada Prep Academy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
