Full-Year or a Semester Abroad Programs in Mississauga:

At Erindale, we offer 4 different options for students to consider

Green Path Plus Advanced Placement
The Green Path Program is designed to provide capable, qualified students who want to qualify for admission one of the top 10 Canadian Universities with enhanced academic support.

After reviewing the extra requirements of the program with parents and student, the school will sign a letter of assurance that the program will qualify the student for admission to one of the selected universities.

The Advanced Placement Program (AP) is a high school pre-university program that is authorised by the American University Council for secondary school in the USA and Canada.

The AP program is only valid for Grade 12 students. It is equivalent to the first year of university in Canada. Students will expect to study up to 30 additional hours. Successful completion of AP courses allows students to earn university credits that may be applied to their university program.

At present there are nearly 3600 universities in more than 34 countries which recognize AP credits for their admission criteria and allow students to apply them to their undergraduate degree requirements.

Universities like Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Cambridge and Imperial College are among the many prestigious institutions that accept AP credits.

AP results have also become important selection criteria for admission to American universities.

According to the American University Counseling Council, “American universities have generally used the student’s performance in the AP exam as a basis for measuring whether they are qualified for university studies, stating that, AP test scores have become one of the most important basis for many university admission considerations”.

This trend, converting AP courses to university credits, has also become a reality in Canadian universities.
