Ready for Ontario's 2026–27 Changes

Starting this school year, every Ontario secondary course includes a mandatory final evaluation and a graded attendance component. OOS was already built around exactly this: a named teacher who works with you throughout the course, structured check-ins that count as your attendance and participation evidence, and now a proctored final evaluation delivered the same way everything else at OOS is — online, on your schedule, from home.

  • Proctored online, from home — no test centre, no travel, no unfamiliar exam hall
  • Scheduled around you — your exam date is arranged with your teacher, not fixed to one province-wide week
  • Included in your course fee — proctoring and attendance tracking are part of what you already pay, never a surprise add-on
  • Small classes, one teacher who knows your work — the same relationship that has always driven your grade now also carries your attendance and participation evidence

What is Inquiry Based Learning?

Inquiry based learning is an educational approach that centres the student's own questions, curiosity, and investigation. Rather than passively receiving information, students actively explore topics, ask meaningful questions, and construct their own understanding through research and reflection.

At Ontario Online Schools, every course is designed around this philosophy. Students are encouraged to connect curriculum content to real-world contexts, develop critical thinking skills, and take ownership of their learning journey — all at their own pace.

Why It Works

  • Deeper understanding

    Students who investigate concepts themselves retain knowledge longer than those who memorise facts passively.

  • Self-directed confidence

    Learners develop the ability to tackle unfamiliar problems independently — a skill valued in post-secondary and beyond.

  • Flexible and personalised

    Inquiry based learning adapts naturally to each student's interests and pace, making it ideal for online education.

  • Ontario curriculum aligned

    All courses meet Ontario Ministry of Education expectations while encouraging students to go beyond the minimum.
