Our students have 100% university / college or other post-secondary placement.

University Placement:
With the help of counsellors and mentor teachers, students discover their interests and aptitudes and learn to set goals for further study. The admissions representatives of prominent universities visit the school on a regular basis.

They communicate the most up-to-date news concerning university admission requirements. Counsellors then assist students with university selection and the submission of applications. We give special attention to preparing students for TOEFL and other university placement exams.

English as a Second Language (ESL) Program:
Students who have recently arrived in Canada and who are not proficient in English are placed in Academic Preparation (AP) classes. We have AP classes for grades 8, 9, 10 and 11/12. Each respective AP class is subdivided into beginner, lower intermediate and upper intermediate language levels.

High school subject content such as Math / Science, Social Studies and English Literature are incorporated into the AP program. Student progress in the AP Program is charted every four weeks. Once a specific level of English proficiency has been met, a student may be promoted to the regular academic program.
