Why Laureate Online
Our changing world has created opportunities to offer online learning as an option to gain Ontario credit courses, obtain the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), and enrol in IELTS courses. Depending on the type of learner students are, this may be an alternative to attending face-to-face instruction with daily support from a teacher. Our online courses provide resources where students can watch videos, view talking PowerPoint slides prepared by teachers, and listen to audio recordings to make online learning more interactive.
Online learning is all about flexibility and personalization. Each course has a guideline on the estimated time it will take to complete each unit, but you have the freedom to work at your own pace. This self-directed approach allows you to take control of your learning journey. Every course is designed to fulfill the minimum requirement of 110 hours, and you’ll need to complete a student log of the number of minutes/hours spent online and offline.
There is a wide range of courses offered online that prepare students for post-secondary education and develop the global competency skills required to succeed at the college or university level. It is also cost saving because you can complete your courses from home or the office without travelling to our school, and course fees are much lower than taking courses in a traditional setting.
