Educational System in Toronto Schools

 

The education system in  the city of Toronto, Ontario is divided into three parts.

  • Preschool: For children aged 4 to 5 years
  • Primary School: For children aged 6 to 12 years
  • Secondary school: 12 to 18 years old

 

Toronto Education Districts

It is true that the word "Toronto" is used most of the time for the Toronto metropolitan area, but it is better to know that the city of Toronto is part of the Greater Toronto Area and together with four other districts,  Peel,  York,  Durham, and Halton, make up the Toronto metropolitan area.

Hence, each of these zones has its own educational scope and each one continues to operate independently.

Preferred Name چیست؟

 A  preferential name is a name that a student chooses to use other than his or her legal name. In this case, the teachers at school must call him by the same name. For example, a student may want to choose the name of a plant or an animal. In this case, the teacher is obliged to call him by that name.

 

Difference between Public and Private Schools in Toronto

Differences in Costs

On average, tuition at private schools in Toronto ranges from $17,000 to $26,000. However, this cost will vary depending on the type of school, the student's age, region, and other factors.

Differences in the capacity of classes

 The average class capacity in Ontario secondary schools is about 22 people, but that number may increase in some areas, but the number is much lower in private schools.

Differences in the rate of parental involvement

In private schools, programs and policies are put in place to ensure that families have more control over their children's education.

Differences in school administration

Considering that public schools are run with public funds and must meet the needs of a wide range of students with different cultures, they are governed by fixed rules.

But private schools in Toronto can change their curriculum to suit the needs of students and do not need to follow the constraints of the education system that governs public schools.

Differences in the time allotted to the student

Due to the small number of students in private schools, the instructor can spend more time for each student.
