How to Find an Ontario Government School or School Board

The Ontario Government School and Board Finder provides contact information for Ontario Government Public schools and school boards.

You can perform a simple search on school and board names or an advanced search that allows you to also include city, language, level and type in your search criteria.

The following are links:

There are three clasifications for elementary and high schools in Ontario.

1. Public schools
2. Catholic schools supported by public system
3. Private schools

There are wide differences in education quality offered by the Ontario schools.

The Public and Catholic schools that hire Ontario College of Teacher Members with Faculty of Education degrees usually offer the best quality elementary and high school education programs - graduate more students and have higher acceptance at university and professional degree programs.

Many private elementry and high schools report to or are licensed as private schools by the Ontario Ministry of education. Many of these private schools do not hire Ontario College of Teacher Members or even graduates with an Education Degree. Every year dozens of these very poor schools lose their registration or license or after inspection the students can not get a credit for their studies so sometimes students lose one or two years of study and of course all their money is gone.

You must do more research on private Ontario elementary and high schools before paying tuition.

Consumers are advised to exercise due diligence with respect to contracts with private schools as they would with any other business transaction. For questions please refer to the Consumer Protection Branch of the Ministry of Government Services at (Toronto) (416) 326-8555, or (toll-free) 1-800-268-1142.

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.
