Public schools & districts

School Placement & Academic Advisory
A school environment that fits your child.
Start with how your child learns. We consider language readiness, interests and family priorities together, helping you compare Canadian schools and programs and plan the next stage.
SCHOOL & PROGRAM FIT
Three areas to explore.
Begin with the student's needs, then look closely at each school's curriculum, culture and support.
Independent & boarding schools
Consider school culture, admission requirements, day or boarding arrangements and actual costs alongside the student's daily learning and living needs.
Specialized programs & pathways
Explore AP, IB, STEM, arts, athletics or French immersion in light of the student's interests, while considering how high-school courses connect to university goals.
START WITH THE STUDENT
Four things we want to understand.
Each recommendation should have a clear reason, grounded in the student and the family's priorities.
- Academic background & learning style
- Current grade, academic performance, strengths, interests and the classroom environment that suits the student.
- Language & adjustment
- English readiness, learning-support needs and preparation for a different school and living environment.
- Family & living arrangements
- Location, overall budget, plans for accompanying family or accommodation, and custodianship questions to clarify.
- Timing & future direction
- The intended intake, application and relocation timing, and longer-term secondary or university plans.
