The twenty first century student is faced with growing competition from within and beyond the borders of their own country. Students must take advantage of the accessibility to higher learning and strive to reach their full potential. To emphasize the importance of high school education and its commitment to educate students until adulthood, the Ontario Government has made it mandatory for Ontario students to attend school until the age of 18 (or until the Ontario Secondary School Diploma is obtained). Students can take advantage of Ontario eSchool’s open and continuous enrollment to supplement their own programs. The Ontario eSchool platform allows students globally to complete and/or supplement their education utilizing online technology from any place in the world at anytime of day or night.
An online teacher will manage the course as the students work their way through the curriculum. The course content is online, as assignments are completed and submitted through the system, teachers will return them within 3 days graded and with constructive comments. Students can track their progress and have access to updated marks at all times.
Whether it is one course or several, Ontario eSchool puts the student in the "driver's seat" of their education. Students who need more time to practice their learning can choose to move slowly through their course whereas they may move quickly through other portions of their courses to remain engaged. If the student isn't ready to write a test on a certain unit or concept, he/she can review the material, ask the teacher for help and then write the test when he/she feels completely ready to do so.
Ontario eSchool's ESL courses are unique! Within each ESL course students will interact with a live teacher online. Students will have several 1 hour blocks of time each week to practice their English one-on-one with a Certified English teacher. Teachers will be able to directly help, motivate, and engage students as they navigate through our ESL courses. This live interaction will also allow teachers to continuously assess a student's progress and give them timely and effective feedback for a successful experience.
