Although it is now a secondary school that offers an Ontario Secondary School Diploma, it is still very trade-oriented. 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 flags are natures newly found.
Rifles grow sharper on the sight.
There is a rumble of autumnal marching,
From which no soft sleeve relieves us.
Fate is the present desperado.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Hark, all you ladies that do sleep!
The fairy queen
Bids you awake, and pity them that weep.
You may do in the dark
What the day doth forbid.
Fear not the dogs that bark;
Night will have all hid.”
—Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
