Example: A student joins us in Grade 9, or in Grade 10 or 11, completes all remaining credits with us up to Grade 12, and applies to universities in Canada and the USA with OSSD-level credits.
No Canadian immigration status is needed to study online from the United Kingdom.
From Grade 9 to university in Canada or the USA
Two families we serve
You live in Canada, with family ties in the United Kingdom
Your child studies in Ontario or another province, or spends a term with family in the UK. An online Ontario course keeps a missing prerequisite, a mark to improve, or a course their school does not run on track, wherever they are that term.
You are Canadian, or hold or held status in Canada, and live in the United Kingdom
Your child studies in the UK toward GCSEs and A Levels, or Scottish Highers, with no Canadian credits yet. Ontario credits taken online build a Canadian academic record now, before university applications or a move back to Canada.
How the school years line up
| In the United Kingdom | In Ontario | What students usually take with us |
|---|---|---|
| Years 10 and 11 (GCSE years; S3 and S4 in Scotland) | Grades 9 and 10 | English, mathematics, science, introduction to business |
| Year 12 (S5 in Scotland, the Highers year) | Grade 11 | English, functions, biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, accounting |
| Year 13 (S6 in Scotland) | Grade 12 | The U and M level courses that Canadian universities ask for |
Years are matched by typical age. The school you apply to decides how it places a student.
Real situations, and how our courses help
These are examples of common situations, not individual student stories.
The Grade 12 credits that decide university offers
See all 26 courses, and what one Ontario credit is worth in Canada and abroad, on our OSSD Credit Value page.
Study any time, from any time zone
Our courses are 100% online and asynchronous, and credits earned online carry the same value as credits earned in person. There are no fixed class hours and no time zone to follow. Your child studies and completes assessments at any time of day or night, around school, family and travel.
Final examinations are written online under proctoring with identity verification, or on site at our Vaughan campus. Nobody has to fly to Canada to write an examination.
The value of Canadian school credits
Canadian school credits give your child an academic record that universities in Canada and the USA read directly, earned from home in the United Kingdom.
- Canadian schooling on record: every credit your child passes is recorded on an Ontario Student Transcript, the same record students in Ontario receive, built while living in the United Kingdom.
- A head start for a move to Canada: your child arrives with Canadian credits already completed, instead of starting from the beginning.
- Doors open in Canada and the USA: OSSD-level credits to apply to universities in Canada and the USA, with our help reading each university's requirements for the program your child wants.
- The option to study in the UK too: UK ENIC, the UK's official organisation for recognising international qualifications, managed for the UK government, issues a Statement of Comparability that compares international qualifications to the UK education system, for applying to jobs, studies or professional registration in the UK.
- No visa and no travel: online study from the United Kingdom needs no Canadian status, and exams are written online. Students in Canada with a valid status that permits study can also attend our Vaughan campus.

A large community on both sides
About 464,000 people living in Canada were born in the United Kingdom, the fourth largest group of immigrants by country of birth (Statistics Canada, 2021 Census). An estimated 73,000 to 91,545 Canadians live in the United Kingdom (Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, 2009; United Nations, 2017). Many of these families have children studying in the UK, and many Canadian children spend school years there.
One course, several courses, or the full diploma path
Your child can take one course, several courses at the same time, or complete all Grade 9 to 12 credits with us. Sessions start six times a year. Tell our Admissions Office which university your child is working toward, and we will help you choose the courses and the session.
