Getting around: The school is a 25-minute drive by car from the city centre. There are bus routes that reach the centre, but these are not direct and involve a few stops and changes. This takes around an hour to get to Toronto central. Don Mills is very walkable, and there are regular buses to the surrounding neighbourhoods for those who want to explore more of the area. In North York, a short bus trip from the school, there is a subway station that runs to the centre of Toronto.
Local Attractions: There are regular buses from Archer College to The Aga Khan Museum and the Ontario Science Museum. This route takes around 20 minutes, depending on the time of day. The school is close to the Don River, where there are golf courses and an array of green space with Parks and Trails.
