Ministry of Education InspectionAm-Can Business & Tech School This page is written for the Education Officer conducting the school's initial inspection. It explains how the school's online learning management system is put together, where each kind of record is kept, and how to sign in to see it. The detail behind each item is set out in the school's Appendix G submission; this page is the guide to where things are. On this page
1. One learning portal, and what this site is forAll teaching and learning takes place in one portal. The Student Learning Portal, www.techstudy.ca. Every part of a course a student learns from or is assessed on is here: the course outline, syllabus, unit materials, worksheets and readings; the session timetable; the cohort discussion forum; the course videos; the unit evaluations; every assessment, mark and piece of teacher feedback; messages from the teacher; school notices; and the final examination. A student signs in once and sees only their own course and their own session. What a student sees is set by their enrolment record, not by anything they can change. The School Administration Portal, www.techstudy.ca/admin-portal. This is a second view on the same system, built for the Ministry and for school administration. It is read-only and it brings every registered student together in one place. Section 8 lists what it holds. This site, amcantech.org. This site carries no teaching or learning material and no student work. It handles the administrative side of the school only: the admission intake, admission offer and enrolment confirmation stages, the registration decision, tuition fees and payment records, each student’s own profile and contact record, school notices and correspondence, graduation records, and the school’s published policies, course calendar and forms. The division is deliberate and simple to state: learning is in one place, administration is in another, and a student only ever signs in to one portal to study. 2. How to sign in
The password for each account is provided in the school’s Appendix G submission and is not published here. If a password does not work, telephone the school on 905-326-0045 and a replacement will be issued the same day. Both accounts sign in at the same address. The portal decides what is shown from the account, so the Education Officer is taken to the administration view and the student account is taken to the student view. The demonstration student account is provided so that the Education Officer can see a course exactly as an enrolled student receives it, which is what Appendix G.2 requires. It is a real enrolment with real course materials, real assessments, real teacher feedback and a real record of forum participation. 3. Enrolment and accessAccess follows enrolment. A student's record moves through four stages: Admission Intake Stage, Admission Offer Stage, Enrollment Confirmation Stage and Learning Portal Access. Each stage grants or withdraws what the student can reach. At the intake stage the school collects the registration form, proof of age, the previous report card and the signed Enrolment and Ontario Student Record consent form. At the offer stage the course and session are confirmed. At the confirmation stage the enrolment agreement is signed and fees are settled. Only then is the student given access to the Student Learning Portal. Portal access is driven by the enrolment record itself, so a suspension, a withdrawal or the end of a session takes effect without a manual step. A student whose enrolment is not active cannot sign in to the learning portal at all. The school runs six non-overlapping sessions a year. A student takes one course per session. A retake is a new enrolment in a later session, so each attempt is recorded separately. Each student carries a single school student ID, quoted on the profile, on every enrolment record and in all correspondence. 4. Instructional timeEach course is scheduled for 110 hours over a six-week session: 20 hours a week in weeks one to five and 10 hours in week six. Session four runs seven calendar weeks to accommodate March Break, with the same 110 hours. The hours are allocated across teacher-mediated discussion and collaboration, course materials and unit study, independent study and offline work, assignments and unit evaluations, and the culminating task and final evaluation. The allocation for each course is displayed on the student's course page and on the Inspection page. Courses are delivered asynchronously. There are no scheduled class times, and attendance is measured by completion of weekly milestones rather than presence at a live session. 5. Assessment and evaluationThe school applies the assessment and evaluation policy set out in the September 2026 update to Growing Success. For Grades 9 and 10 the distribution is 65 per cent classroom work, 20 per cent final evaluation and 15 per cent attendance and participation. For Grades 11 and 12 it is 65, 25 and 10. The final evaluation is split between a culminating task and a final examination. A small number of courses carry a different distribution where the curriculum requires it. The authoritative weighting for each course is held in the school's course database and displayed to the student on their course page and on the School Administration Portal, so the figure the student sees and the figure used to compute the mark are the same value. Every graded piece of work is recorded as an assessment: the title, the week, the grade component it counts toward, the score earned, the total possible score, the status, and the teacher's written feedback. Students see their own assessments in the learning portal. The Education Officer sees every student's assessments on the School Administration Portal. Attendance and participation is measured by completion of weekly asynchronous milestones: progression through the unit materials released for that week, a response to the teacher’s discussion question in the cohort forum, replies to classmates’ posts in that forum, and completion of the assessment set for that week. The weekly learning log records the hours worked away from the portal and is reviewed by the teacher alongside the milestones. 6. ExaminationsFinal examinations are delivered inside the Student Learning Portal through the school’s assessment engine. The examination is embedded in the course’s own assessment page, so it is taken within the signed-in session rather than through a link that could be passed on. Each course has its own examination, opened from the Open the final examination button that appears on the student’s final examination record and on no other record. The examination is written in week six of the session, inside a window that is set in the assessment engine itself and not only in the instructions. For session one the window opens at 00:00 on Monday 19 October 2026 and closes at 23:55 on Friday 23 October 2026, Eastern Time, and the examination cannot be started outside it. A window is set the same way for each of the six sessions in the school year, so a student cannot sit the examination early or late. The Education Officer may ask the school for a supervised preview of any examination outside its window. There is no booking; a student begins when they choose within that window and sits the examination once. The controls applied to every sitting are a single attempt, a fixed time limit, questions and answer options presented in a randomised order, printing and copying disabled, and the date, time and originating address recorded against the attempt. School staff verify identity against the photographic identification held on the student record before any result is released. A student may instead write under invigilation at the Vaughan campus by prior arrangement and at no additional charge. The full protocol is in the final examination and proctoring guide. Unit evaluations are delivered the same way and under the same controls. They are classroom work and count toward the classroom component of the mark. They are not part of the final evaluation and do not stand in for the final examination. 7. Records and quality assuranceCourse, enrolment, assessment and attendance records are held in the school's database platform, which keeps a per-field revision history showing what changed, who changed it and when. Any amendment to a signed-off assessment record requires written authorisation from the Principal, filed in paper form. Every student enrolment, assessment and course completion record is maintained digitally and is also printed and kept as a hard copy in the locked records room at the school, so that the record survives independently of any platform. Students complete an anonymous course evaluation at the end of each session. The Principal reviews the responses and records both the review and any resulting change to the course, so that the school can show not only that feedback was gathered but what was done with it. 8. What the School Administration Portal showsGo to www.techstudy.ca/admin-portal and sign in with the Education Officer account. The page opens on sign-in. It is read-only, and it holds the following, in the order it appears on the page.
Sign out from the account menu at the top right of the page. 9. Policies the inspection relies onEvery policy below is published on the Policies and Procedures page of this site. The direct links are repeated here so that each document is one click away. These are the documents the Ministry's Private Schools Policy and Procedures Manual, the school's Pre-Inspection Report and Appendix G require to be published.
