Why Lyna chose OES: Finished Grade 12

“I’m currently studying Nutritional Sciences at McGill University, and OES played a huge role in helping me get here.”

As the first person in my family to complete Grade 12 online instead of attending CEGEP, OES gave me the flexibility, support, and academic foundation I needed to succeed. My experience was incredibly positive, and I’m grateful for how well OES prepared me for university.”

Why Lucas chose OES: Finished Grade 12

“Completing my OSSD online was extremely stress-relieving in comparison to a traditional classroom.”

Not only was I capable of creating my own schedule to learn and complete work at my own pace, I was also within the comfort of my own home the entire time I was doing it. Having an individualized pace meant that I could schedule my tests at any day or time I wanted to, I could finish required work at any time I wanted to, and I could set my own deadlines for projects. All the while, I had the flexibility of fitting that progress into a schedule that worked around my part-time job and social life.”

Why Dan chose OES: Program prerequisite

“My OES credits allowed me to achieve my main goal of being accepted at a BScN program!”

Without it I believe that there would be no chance. The staff are great with support and will help you any chance they get! Thank you OES high school!””

Why Gianne chose OES: Fit my schedule

“Taking MHF4U through OES helped me become much more confident in maths, especially as it was a subject I had previously found challenging.”

Balancing the course alongside my A Levels taught me to manage my time, stay consistent with independent work, and take greater responsibility for my learning. I’m now finishing my A Levels while working on research and publishing papers, and the confidence and independence I gained through OES have continued to help me take on challenges beyond the classroom.”

Why Martial chose OES: Fit my schedule

“I’m now studying Finance at John Molson at Concordia, and getting here took a lot of work.”

OES let me study on my own time while I was also building my own business, and that’s what made it possible. It taught me to stay disciplined and keep going on my own, and I still use that every day at university. I’m thankful to everyone at OES who helped me get here.”

Why Lily chose OES: Program prerequisite

“These credits gave me the ability to attend my dream university.”

At OES I took grade 11 functions as a prerequisite for MHF4U! I am now in my first year at Western University studying psychology.”

Why Heera chose OES: Got ahead

“OES made it possible for me to complete SBI3U in a short time, entirely at my own pace—something I truly valued as a student studying remotely.”

Why Zoe chose OES: Finished Grade 12

“My OES credits have brought me closer to getting my highschool diploma.”

Why Haajar chose OES: Fit my schedule

“My experience with OES has given me the flexibility to learn at my own pace while still challenging myself and working toward my future goals.”

I’ve especially appreciated being able to explore different subjects and build skills that I know I’ll use later on. In the future, I hope my OES education will help me get into a great university and pursue a career in architecture and design. I want to eventually become an architect, design beautiful homes and spaces, and hopefully use what I learn to build something of my own. OES is helping me take the steps toward that future, and I’m excited to see where it leads me!”
