Our Uniqueness
Since 2012, the Founders of Guidelines Academy have established and operated Ontario Secondary Schools successfully focusing on international students, which have gained the support and trust of government, parents and the public.
Guidelines Academy is unique in its focus on Business, Engineering and Technology pathways. We collaborate with university lecturers to prepare our students to enter these faculties. We also provide our students the opportunity to audit a class in a university setting to enable them to make a more informed post-secondary decision.
Our strong team of experienced certified Ontario teachers develops and cultivates the potential of our students for future university education through the selection of engaging courses and programs. This will prepare the students for admission to world class universities.
Our secondary school courses prepare our students with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed. Students in grades nine and ten will complete compulsory courses required to earn their Ontario Secondary School Diploma and then enter one of the pathways in grade eleven focusing on preparation for study at the universities in their chosen field.
Guidelines Academy is also unique in providing its Secondary School Program on-site and on-line, leading to earning an Ontario Secondary School Diploma. Students in our On-line Program may take courses wherever and whenever it is convenient for them.
