Questions to ask before enrolling in private high schools

 Before signing the contract with a private high school, parents and guardians should ask : 

Does the Ontario Private High School :

• follow the Ontario curriculum?
• conduct criminal reference checks with local police reports on staff?
• have a published public code of conduct or other discipline policy?
• employ qualified teachers with the Ontario College of Teachers?
• publish Ontario Secondary School Literacy test (OSSLT) results?
• publish contract terms with fees, refunds, attendance policies?
• have a procedure for resolving complaints by parents and students?
• have a policy regarding access to the student's records, such as the Ontario Student Transcript (OST) or Ontario Student Record (OSR)?
• have liability insurance with respect to accidents involving students?

The government of Ontario requires that a private school have the following:

• a principal in charge of the school
• control of quality of instruction and evaluation of student achievement
• control of content of the program or course of study
• a common school-wide assessment and evaluation policy
• a common procedure for reporting to parents
• a common school-wide attendance policy
• a central office for the maintenance of student records

The government of Ontario has the sole authority to determine the courses of study that a student must complete to obtain the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD).
