In Canada, only a 6% of students attend a private school, and only a small minority attend elitist schools. Consequently, they represent a small number. Nevertheless, there is a wide range of schools to choose from, catholic, protestant or secular, mixed or single sex schools.
These are schools with a very good reputation and relevance, thanks to their excellent academic program and the reduce number of pupils, which allows them to offer personalized attention and access to the best universities in the country.
The education system in Canada, even if similar to that of the USA, has broadly kept a British philosophy, with the added benefit of a bilingual education (English-French) in some schools. This system is distinguished by its personal attention and thorough teaching methods. Due to the need for a visa and the lengthy admission procedure, we recommend inscription to be started in May.

A whole school year in Canada can be validated seamlessly, as long as the student achieves the minimum required qualifications, as laid out by the Department of Education of the country of origin. Our coordinator will make sure the student chooses the relevant subjects to comply with the set requirements, and will take care of the procedures to obtain the certification.
Students must pass at least 5 specific subjects in the school year, and the leaving certificate examination needed for university. This process doesn’t include the procedure to access university.
