It has fully operational foods services, automotive, and manufacturing departments, and cooperative education programs with local business, including one with the Canadian Forces reserve force, 31 Combat Engineer Regiment. It also offers the newly created Ontario Technical Certificate, where students can focus on trade-related courses, and be exempt from some academic courses that are compulsorary under the OSSD.
Arthur Voaden has been highly regarded for its arts programs, including the exceptional music department. At one time, the Arthur Voaden Vikings football team was highly successful, and is currently coached by a former CFL player.

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or day:
“The salt person and blasted place
I furnish with the meat of a fable;
If the dead starve, their stomachs turn to tumble
An upright man in the antipodes
Or spray-based and rock-chested sea:
Over the past table I repeat this present grace.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“My generation had Doris Day as a role model, then Gloria Steinem—then Princess Diana. We are the most confused generation.”
—Erica Jong (b. 1942)
