Preparing for 2020

As of September 2020 all students in Ontario will be required to complete a high school course online as a requirement for their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) – you can read more about that policy here. With over 500 thousand high school students in Ontario bracing for change, you can prepare yourself for the inevitable by taking an course with Ontario eSecondary School (OES). 

Why take an online course?

Online courses with OES are unique in that they allow you to work at your own pace and schedule. Honing your soft-skills is an important workplace tool as you build towards the future. Working through an online course requires you to identify when you need help — this will push you to communicate more! Of course being online a teacher will not be able to see your face daily as you work through homework and assignments so the importance of reflecting on your work and understanding where and when you need help is important as a learner, meta-cognition will go a long way. 

Do students like online courses?

8 out of 10 students at OES have earned a course average of 85% and above. Students who have taken courses with us have found that supportive teachers, flexible deadlines and the ability to work at their own pace and schedule have allowed them to be successful. With any online course there will be bumps and bruises along the way but remember that we’re one email or click away from 24/7 online chat tutoring. 

As the leaves drop and the weather changes plan ahead with OES and prepare for your future. Keep in mind that you can register anytime so there’s no better time to begin!
