How does it work?

Highland Virtual is an online high school that is private, synchronous, and inspected by the Ministry of Education. It offers high-quality Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) credit courses. HAC offers over X courses for students in grades 9-12, all of which count toward the OSSD in the same way that courses in traditional brick-and-mortar schools do. Universities and institutions worldwide recognize HAC's OSSD credits.

Enrolment:

Students may register at any time throughout the year and begin their course(s) within X hours of enrollment. Each course may take up to X months to complete. This strategy enables students to work more independently and choose their own timetables. All students are eligible to enroll in HAC courses. Permission is not necessary from the student's primary school of registration.

Support:

Along with the support provided by HAC's certified instructors and staff, courses offer complimentary access to online tutoring.

Final Exams:

Students can complete their courses and write their proctored final exams online at any time of year and from any location.

Course Materials:

All course materials and evaluations are accessible through our secure learning environment. There is no requirement for textbooks.

Communication:

Throughout the course, HAC will connect with the student's primary school of registration by sending a letter of registration, a midterm report, and a final report. HAC will also provide this information to the OUAC, OCAS, or post-secondary schools upon the student's request. When the registering school receives the final report, the mark is added to the student's Ontario Student Transcript, making HAC courses an ideal complement to any student's secondary school education. Alternatively, students may enrol full-time in HAC and complete their OSSD entirely online.

Academic Integrity:

We uphold Ontario's highest academic standards and are committed to academic integrity and honesty.
