For those students who need to finish a course sooner or are unable to attend the regular classes, Future Skills High School offers Fast Track courses. Fast track courses allow students to complete accredited high school credits from the comfort of their home. A fast track course is essentially a supervised self-study course. The fast track students must arrange to see their teachers one on one, regularly, for no fewer than 10 sessions during the course. Students are also encouraged to attend Future Skills’ regular classes as often as they can. It is the student’s responsibility to study the curriculum based materials at home and find a tutor (at their own expense) if necessary. The 10 one on one sessions with Future Skills’ teachers are intended for discussion, problem solving and evaluation. The teacher evaluates the student’s progress through quizzes, chapter tests, unit tests, projects, assignments and a final exam. These evaluations will be used towards the student’s final mark. Upon successful completion of the Fast Track course, the student will be awarded one credit.

Co-op courses are also available for those students who want to explore a potential career in the field of their choice. These credits offer a unique experience and can be a valuable learning tool in assisting students with choosing a career path that is right for them and setting academic goals for themselves in order to achieve it.

Our school is conveniently located on the North East corner of the intersection at Yonge and Finch directly outside the Finch Subway Station and Finch Bus Terminals. This provides our students with the possibility of commuting to our school via the TTC (Toronto Transit System), GO, YRT or VIVA buses.
