Good News

Hard work doesn’t always guarantee success—but without it, success is impossible.

Each year, a large number of students apply, while only a limited number of spots are available. The selection process is rigorous. In addition to evaluating students’ drawing foundations, the panel also places strong emphasis on creative expression, composition skills, observational ability, and the overall presentation of the artwork.

Four of GAAC’s Grade 7 students got the offer! These results are a testament to GAAC’s strength in providing expert instruction, personalized course planning, and deep experience in arts education.

Over the years, GAAC has continuously supported and witnessed students successfully enter Byng Arts, the elite arts mini-school at Lord Byng Secondary. As more students apply each year but available seats remain limited, competition grows increasingly intense. Where there is success, there are also setbacks—but students should not be discouraged.
