High School Is Where University Doors Open or Close

Grade 11 and 12 marks decide university offers. In public school classes of 30 or more, a student who is slipping in Advanced Functions or Chemistry can go unnoticed until the report card.

Grade 9–10A student is struggling with the jump to high school workload and needs closer attention early.

Grade 11–12A student needs a stronger mark in MHF4U, MCV4U, SCH4U or ENG4U to meet a program's cut-off.

Changing schoolsA family wants to move from a Peel public or Catholic high school without losing credits or a semester.
