About Us

We create space for youth to learn, grow, and feel seen. Our programs use sports, tech, and community to build real skills and real connections.
our mission

Academic and Athletic Excellence

Variable Academy is a space where young people can learn, play, and connect. From coding workshops to basketball leagues, everything we do is designed to help youth explore new interests and build confidence in and out of the classroom.

Variable Academy started with a simple idea, give youth better access to opportunities. Over the years, we’ve run basketball leagues, hosted coding workshops, held video game tournaments, and brought neighbours together for full-day events. Everything we offer is shaped by the people who show up by catering to their interests, their energy, and their goals. It’s not just about learning something new. It’s about showing up, trying things out, and feeling like you belong.

Bringing our community together

We bring people together by creating programs that feel fun, welcoming, and real. Whether it’s building a website, playing in a tournament, or joining a local event, participants get to learn from each other, make friends, and feel like they’re part of something bigger.
