Toronto World School Online Program utilizes an online platform where students can access course material, lessons and complete assessments at their own pace. There are no set class times or real-time interaction with instructors or classmates. Communication with an instructor can be done through email or online office hours.

You can register at any time you want. However, once you register online, we will have you set up in your course within 24-72 business hours, depending on the time of day you register. You will receive a welcome email containing all the information you need to get started.

This varies depending on your availability, comfort level in the subject, and many other factors, but students generally take anywhere from 4-12 weeks to complete a course. The maximum time you have to complete a course is 365 days.

Yes, you can schedule office consultation hours with your teacher once a week.

Lessons are delivered online in a wide variety of formats to cater to different learning styles. Some examples of delivery are: written notes, videos created by the teacher, Youtube, PowerPoint presentations accompanied by teacher voice over, interactive labs and models, external websites, online articles, discussion forums, and other interactive tools.

Assessments are done through a variety of formats; there are quizzes, tests, discussions, and assignments that our teachers use for assessment. Students will be required to appear on video for some assessments in their course, like the final exam.

Students must have finished and submitted all coursework before taking the final exam. Students have 2 options to complete final exams; each has a $30 exam proctoring fee: Option 1: Use an approved Online Proctoring Service These exams need to be scheduled in advance; students simply open up the exam and complete it when they are ready. A list of approved Online Proctoring tools will be supplied to the students at least a couple of weeks before the final exam Option 2: Take it at the Toronto World School Campus These exams need to be scheduled in advance and taken at the TWS campus in Mississauga, Ontario.

Alternatively, we can provide you with an electronic copy via email.
