>> Our Differentiators <<
Our Teachers
Our Canadian teachers are Ontario Certified (OCT) and/or have a Ph.D. This means they have not only pursued their regular university studies but have continued studying for more years, preparing to become teachers, besides having to take additional training to teach other subjects.
Our Classes
At CPS, our class sizes are small, not exceeding 10 students in most cases. For Grades 9 and 10, most of our classes are live (real-time) online; this helps establish a connection between teachers and students. For Grade 11 and 12 there are independent learning components.
Our Materials
Our materials have mostly been developed by the same teachers teaching the subjects. This means they have an intimate knowledge of the materials and the subjects and follow all the Ministry of Education requirements and guidance to comply with the OSSD demands.
Our Methodology
Our methodologies and guidelines follow all Ontario Ministry of Education standards, and we implement them using the latest technologies. We believe in having a percentage of our instructional time as live classes. For Grade 11 and 12, we use the flipped classroom methodology often used at universities.
Our Support
There is direct and constant support by CPS teachers using WhatsApp and other tools. Teachers also have 1 on 1 sessions with the students where they receive personal feedback to improve. Reinforcement is constant with frequent quizzes, assignments and review sessions.
Our Career Counselling
CPS has a designated guidance counsellor to mentor and support students with career and university selection and guidance with the college or university application. CPS also helps with scholarship applications, participation in extra-curricular activities and essay reviews.
Our Students
Most of our students are international students from all over the world, and they are driven to succeed. Their motivation and passion are very high, which raises the entire class's level and makes the classes more interesting and enjoyable for both students and teachers!
Class Recordings
One of the main advantages of a virtual high school is that all the classes can be recorded. This is quite helpful to students because they can review the material at their own pace. Moreover, for shy students, or students whose first language is not English, recordings are essential!
Customization
While the curriculum and requirements are strictly followed using the Ontario Ministry of Education guidelines, these are flexible enough to customize the learning. The document "Growing Success" is strictly followed to ensure a fair and transparent evaluation and assessment of the students.
