High school students will begin each semester with four courses. If you find that you are struggling with the course material, you can meet with a guidance counsellor to discuss school supports and possibly, a revised timetable. Note that a revised timetable will require permission from a parent/guardian and the Passport to Excellence program coordinator.
Religion
Our schools are part of a faith-based system, in which the teachings of the Gospel are incorporated into daily lessons through all subject areas. We also work in partnership with our local parishes, providing opportunities for students and families to participate in regular Masses, prayer services and liturgies. 
Report Cards and Parent-Teacher Conferences 

High school students will receive four report cards -- two for each semester -- including a mid-term report card and a final report card. Students, their host families, and all custodians are invited to discuss student progress and marks at any time with the classroom teacher. They will also be invited to parent-teacher conferences that are held at the school.

 
Attendance in School

Academic success is dependent upon regular attendance in all classes. If you are to be absent or miss a class for any reason, your host family or custodian is expected to call the school to provide a reason for your absence. If a student is consistently

absent without consent, consequences could include loss of credits and suspension from school.
 
Code of Conduct 

Each school has a Code of Conduct policy on the school website and/or school agenda that you will receive during your school orientation. It is important to ask questions during the school discussion about this policy which is based on expectations from the Ontario Ministry of Education. 

 

International Students and their parents/guardians will receive written warning for misbehaviour, missing classes without consent or failing courses. Students who do not follow the school's Code of Conduct may be asked to leave the program without reimbursement if they do not show signs of improvement.
 
Technology
 21st Century Learning Commons

We want to ensure that the digital revolution that has taken place in every aspect of our lives is reflected in our classrooms, and in our teaching and learning models. By creating spaces that integrate technology with learning, and encourage collaboration, we can help to effectively develop the critical thinking skills that students need to be successful. 

The 21st Century Learning Commons is a hub for learning that everyone in the school can use to access state-of-the-art technology in order to inspire deep learning. In this multi-functional space, students and teachers can work on building knowledge together in an interesting and engaging way that optimizes the use of technology.
 
 Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

You can bring your own electronic device to school for educational purposes. You are expected to use devices responsibly, and only with the permission and direction of teachers or other staff. Students are required to use the school's wireless network, which can be accessed at no cost while at school. If you are bringing your own device to school, be sure to protect it with a secure password and purchase a protective case.
