To apply to the private Ontario High School students must complete the high school application form and provide copies of their previous two years' Report Cards.
The prospective student and his or her parents will then attend a personal interview with the Principal. A review of the student's past achievements and discussion of future goals will be part of this process. In some cases an academic in English and or Mathematics may be required.
The school year is divided into 3 semesters, where students take 2 or 3 credits in each semester, completing a minimum of 110 hours per course. The student, parents and staff will decide on the appropriate course load. However, students must be aware that the following is required to graduate in four years.
- 8 Grade 9 credits
- 8 Grade 10 credits
- 8 Grade 11 credits
- 6 Grade 12 credits

Full Time Academy Overview
The private high school offers full-time day programs, part-time courses, as well as private study options.
The class sizes are small (usually less than 6) enabling teachers to get to know each student's strengths and weakness, students can receive individual attention and support and teachers can tailor their teaching style to help students learn the material most effectively.
While our program is academic, we strive to highlight the practical elements of each course, which helps keep students engaged.
Teaching Tailored to Learning Style
Every individual has a dominant learning style - the way they are best able to acquire, retain and process information. Through interviews and assessments we determine student's natural learning style (i.e. visual, auditory, kinesthetic), and tailor our teaching style and class activities to give him or her opportunities to capitalize on these areas of strength and to develop strengths in weaker areas.
Personal Coaching to increase motivation and find direction
To achieve personal success, students need to do more than excel academically. They need to understand themselves, what they want, and how to get it. Coaching staff work with students individually and in small groups to guide them in this process of self discovery and direction setting.
Coaching staff use a variety of personality, interest and aptitude assessments to help students learn more about themselves, and about what careers might be suitable for them.
