Canadian Students at Matrix Academy

Canadian students from any province may enroll in our courses. Whether they attend a public or private school, they can take individual courses or they can earn their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). Students who are homeschooled can also attend Matrix Academy.

Matrix Academy will award the OSSD to students who have completed all of their high school courses with us. We will also give the OSSD to students who have taken high school courses at other licensed schools but have successfully completed their final credit(s) with us.

Enrollment Requirements

Ontario Students

Some courses at Matrix Academy require prerequisite credits. In order to enroll in one of these courses, Ontario students must provide proof that they have the prerequisite credit(s). To do so, they must send their report card or Ontario Student Transcript (OST) to our school. If a student is taking individual courses at Matrix Academy, as soon as they are enrolled, we will notify their main school. We will also send their midterm and final report cards to the main school directly.

 Out-of-Province Students

Out-of-province Canadian students who would like to take individual courses at Matrix Academy may go through a course waiver process. If they have completed similar prerequisite courses, they must submit their report card(s) and transcripts for evaluation purposes. However, if out-of-province students are planning to earn an OSSD at Matrix Academy, they will be required to go through a PLAR process. PLAR stands for “Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition.” They must also submit their report cards or transcripts for evaluation purposes. Once our school has reviewed their student records we will specify which courses the out-of-province student is eligible to take.

Unlike Quebec schools, we are offering a Grade 12 program, eliminating the stress of attending English CEGEPs. With the OSSD, students bypass the CEGEP system and directly qualify for university or college undergraduate programs, streamlining their academic trajectory. Like other pupils, Quebec students will need to undergo the PLAR process, while providing their transcripts and documentation from former educational institutions.

 Homeschooled Students

Homeschooled students must provide proof of having covered topics required by the Ontario curriculum for each course they’ve taken. They must also show us the materials they have used for each course and any report cards or achievement certificates issued by their parents/guardians. Furthermore, homeschooled students who are planning to take grade 11-12 courses at Matrix Academy will be required to complete admission tests in English, math and science. This will help us evaluate their eligibility to take courses at our school.

Tuition Costs

Our tuition fees are generally more affordable than private day schools, while slightly higher than typical online schools because we offer live, synchronous classes through Zoom. Annual tuition depends on the number of courses a student needs to complete. In most cases, Grade 11 students take 8 courses, while Grade 12 students usually need 6–7 courses.

Additional registration and administrative fees may apply. To make tuition more manageable, Matrix Academy offers flexible payment plans. Please contact us for more information about tuition, registration fees, and available payment options.
