Study in Toronto Private High School

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

Academic Year 2007-08

The full-time day program academic year consists of 8 credits (6 in Grade 12) taken over 3 semesters.

Our schedule is designed so that students can enrol in up to three credits over each 13-week semester, completing a minimum of 110 hours per course.

The school week is Monday-Friday from 9:00am – 3:30p.m.

Students who cannot complete the requirements in the regularly scheduled time may be eligible to continue the course through Independent Study, or by extending it into the following semester, at the discretion of the Principal.

Fall Term --- September 10 – Novermber 30, 2007

Winter Term --- December 3, 2007 – March 21, 2008

Spring Term --- March 24 – June 13, 2008

*Note: winter break is Dec. 24th - Jan 4th and spring break March 10th -14th.

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.

English As a Second Language and English Literacy Development Overview

Students in any grade may be placed in appropriate ESL or ELD courses. Since many ESL/ELD classes include students aged between fourteen and eighteen, the topics and activities must be selected to appeal to a wide range of ages and maturity levels. There are five ESL courses and four ELD courses. The courses are designated according to levels of proficiency in English and literacy development, not by grade.

Working within the framework of the Education Act and its regulations, district school boards adapt provincial education policy to local situations. They must also provide and maintain within their jurisdiction adequate teaching and support staff and appropriate facilities. Trustees, as elected members of the board, represent the local community, providing a link between electors and the education ystem.

Private schools also provide elementary and secondary education. They are independently operated and do not receive funding from the government.

In Ontario, all permanent residents between the ages of 6 and 16 must attend school. Elementary schools provide Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarten programs (for children aged 4 and 5) and programs for grades 1 through 8. Secondary schools currently offer programs from Grade 9 through to Grade 12, as well as Ontario Academic Courses (OACs). To receive an Ontario Secondary School Diploma, students need to complete at least thirty credits in secondary school (one credit is normally one course). Students planning to attend university can include the required six Ontario Academic Courses in these thirty credits. The new standards for education were introduced during 1999 in high schools across Ontario.

The credit system consists of:

Compulsory Credits (total of 18)
4 credits in English (1 credit per grade)

1 credit in French as a second language
3 credits in mathematics (at least 1 credit in Grade 11 or 12)
2 credits in science
1 credit in Canadian history

1 credit in Canadian geography
1 credit in the arts (music, art, drama, or dance)
1 credit in health and physical education
1/2 credit in civics and 1/2 credit in career studies
1 additional credit in English, or a third language, or a social science, or Canadian and world studies

1 additional credit in health and physical education, or business studies, or the arts (music, art, drama, or dance)

1 additional credit in science (Grade 11 or 12) or technological education (Grades 9–12)

In addition to the 18 compulsory credits, students have to earn 12 optional credits in courses of their choice, selected from the full list of courses available in the school. Optional credits allow students to build an educational program that suits their individual interests and meets university, college, apprenticeship, or work requirements.

Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test
Students will take the Secondary School Literacy Test in Grade 10. Students must pass the test in order to graduate, and their result is recorded on their student transcript. Students who do not complete the test successfully will receive remedial help to prepare them for retesting. The literacy test requirement is additional to the 30 credits needed for a high school diploma. The literacy test evaluates students' reading and writing skills based on curriculum expectations in language and communications up to and including Grade 9. ESL students will take the test only when they have reached this level in their language studies. Accommodations will be made for students in special education programs.
