Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about Ontario credit courses, tuition, tutoring and the OSSD pathway.
What is the OSSD?
The Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) is a Canadian high school diploma recognized by universities and colleges worldwide. Canaway is authorized by the Ontario Ministry of Education to grant OSSD credits.
What is Canadian tuition?
Canadian tuition is CAD $549 per credit course. Canadian tuition is available to students who meet Canaway High School’s Canadian tuition eligibility requirements. Tuition classification may be verified during enrollment.
What is international tuition?
International tuition is CAD $799 per credit course. The core self-paced course and tutoring entitlement are the same as Canadian tuition; international tuition reflects the additional onboarding and administration involved in serving international students.
How is my tuition classification determined?
At checkout you select either Canadian or International tuition and confirm that the classification is accurate. Canaway may request supporting documentation during enrollment.
Are these live online classes?
No. The standard credit course is self-paced and does not include recurring scheduled classes. Each course includes live tutoring for focused academic help.
What is the difference between my course teacher and my tutor?
Your assigned course teacher evaluates your work, provides assessment feedback and determines your final grade. Your academic tutor explains concepts, reviews difficult material and helps you keep progressing. Your tutor may be a different person from your course teacher.
How much tutoring is included?
Each purchased credit course includes up to five 25-minute live tutoring sessions.
Are tutoring sessions one-to-one?
Tutoring is normally provided individually. In some cases, Canaway may combine students into a focused small-group session when they are studying the same course level and need help with the same concept.
Can a tutor help complete my assignment?
A tutor can explain concepts, review comparable examples and help you understand instructions or teacher feedback. A tutor cannot complete, rewrite, mark or pre-approve graded work.
Do I need prerequisites?
Some courses have prerequisites. Check each course’s outline and confirm requirements during enrollment.
How do official credits work?
Once you successfully complete all course requirements, your assigned teacher determines your final grade and Canaway processes the official credit and related records.
Can I complete a full OSSD or plan for university?
Yes. Students seeking multiple credits or a complete OSSD plan should speak with the International OSSD & University Pathway team for a consultation and customized quotation.
In what currency is tuition charged?
All prices shown for Canaway High School credit courses are in Canadian dollars.
