Are the credits in your school recognized by other schools, e.g., the public school system?
Yes. Our School is a Ministry of Education registered private School (School Number 880159). Our credits are recognized by all public high schools, the separate school system. Our credits can be submitted to the Ontario University Application Centre.
Is there a school bus service?
No. Students come to us from all areas of the GTA. We are conveniently located minutes from the
Eglinton West Subway station and 10 minutes from the Eglinton
(Yonge) Subway station. The bus connections are ample.
Do I have to sign up for the full 4 year High School Program?
Absolutely, no! We prefer to “take 1 year at a time”. Planning for re-integration and/or graduation is our goal. We always consult with our parents to produce a consensus in regards to “the next step”.
Why is the Tuition Fee so high?
The main reason is our very low Student/Teacher ratio
of 6-to-1. Maintaining this low ratio allows us to deliver an effective program resulting in significant learning gains. This is the “secret of our success”! Our Tuition Fee is all inclusive and is comparable to other private school with Student/Teacher ratios of 15:1 or
larger.
Are there any “hidden costs”?
No. Parents are expected to pay admission charges to special events, e.g., trip to Wonderland. We provide the textbooks and the parents pay $350 to defer the costs of textbooks.
What happens to most of your students when they finish their program at your school?
Our younger students tend to re-integrate into regular
public or private schools. Typically, they are able to work at Grade
Level: they know how to work independently; and they can cope with the demands of school life. Many of our older students who
receive their Ontario Secondary School Diploma at our school move
on to post secondary school education at a college or university of their choice. Our “success rate” is remarkable! Imagine what we can do for your child?
Can the Tuition Fee be claimed as an “Education Expense”?
Despite our best efforts, the answer remains “no”. Under special circumstances, the Tuition Fee can be claimed as a “medical expense”. Upon request, we can provide details.
How do we know your school is not a “fly-by-night- operation”?
We have offered education programs and services for over 30 years. Michael I. Shoore, M.Ed., Director is deeply committed to delivering quality education to your child. We have worked hard to achieve our good reputation. We want to earn your trust!
If we are not satisfied, can we get our money back?
In the unlikely event you are not satisfied, a pro-rata share of the Tuition Fee will be cheerfully refunded. In a very few cases, a cancellation clause may apply. In order to provide clarity, we ask the parents to carefully review our Agreement for the Education Program to be provided.
Will you provide reference checks?
With pleasure! A great number of parents have graciously offered to speak to interested parents. Feedback from a wide range
of professionals is also available.
