Schools of Canada for secondary school academic year
Types of schools in Canada
All the centers are very well equipped and tend to be modern buildings, and also have computer rooms and well-equipped computers with Internet connection. In addition, international students have a support tutor in each of the schools to advise them on the curriculum best suited to their level and profile and to help them solve all problems that may arise during the school year.
Differentiation due to financing
Public schools:
They are the most abundant, and are grouped into "districts" or "divisions." This is why you can often see them on the websites of colleges in Canada as they are grouped in these groups of primary, secondary and post-secondary centers under the same control and with a website that groups them apart from their individual ones. < / p>
Private schools:
These are schools that are not subsidized to any extent and apply the fees they deem appropriate. Only a percentage of approximately 6% of students in Canada go to these schools, and they tend to be those who seek the prestige of having studied in these elite schools. They are usually schools with an excellent price / quality ratio compared to other English-speaking countries like Great Britain.
Partial financing of religious schools
Each province deals differently with private religious schools. In Ontario the Catholic system is still fully funded with public funds, while other religions are not. Ontario has several private schools of Jewish, Muslim, Christian beliefs funded through tuition fees. Given that the system of Catholic schools is deeply rooted in the Constitution, the Supreme Court has ruled that this system is constitutional. However, the Human Rights Committee of the United Nations has declared that the Ontario system is discriminatory, forcing them to finance all or none of the religious schools, which led to the non-financing of the same.
In other provinces, privately run religious schools are financed. In British Columbia, the government pays independent schools that rigorously meet provincial standards up to 50% of the operating cost per student in public schools. Alberta also has a network of charter schools, which are funded schools that offer different approaches to education within the public school system. In the rest of the provinces, private religious schools receive some type of financing, but not as much as the public system.
Differentiation by sex
In turn, all schools in Canada can be divided as usual by:
- Male (boys only schools)
- Feminine (girls only schools)
- Mixed (colleges of boys and girls)
