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).

CCLA Nation-wide High School Contest

 Each year, the CCLA presents a nation-wide high school contest to commemorate the work of Bernard Chernos. Student entries address one of the fundamental freedoms questions posed by us each year (often issues the CCLA itself is working on), examining different civil liberties implications, and applying a ‘reasonableness’ analysis.

Entries can be submitted either as essays or as ‘video rants’ (in the style of Rick Mercer, one of Canada’s most famous political humorists) for a chance to win cash prizes.

The Chernos Contest makes a great ready-made assignment for a wide range of high school courses!

Contest finalists are selected by CCLA lawyers and educators, then judged by a panel of legal scholars, and civil liberties and human rights educators from across the country.

Winners receive certificates and prizes:

  • 1st place: $500 + book
  • 2nd place: $150 + book
  • 3rd place: $100 + book

Deadline is May 27, 2022!

01 Choose Your Question

The Canadian Civil Liberties Education Trust (CCLET) is a non-profit research and public educational organization created in 1967 by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA). 

 CCLA is a national, non-profit, non-governmental organization that works to protect and promote rights and freedoms through the courts, in the community, and in schools. Together, CCLA and CCLET stand for freedom, equity, and a better future for all people in Canada. 

CCLET supports the belief that those who understand and think critically about their rights and responsibilities are better prepared to live as global citizens. Our programs encourage learners to engage with and think critically about diverse perspectives, so that they may actively participate in our democratic processes — and make Canada a better, more inclusive place for all.
