High schools in Canada adopt the credit system.
Canada's high schools adopt the credit system, and they can graduate after completing a certain number of credits. For example, high school students in Ontario must complete 30 credits before they can graduate. Among them, 18 credits are compulsory, and the rest 12 credits are selected by students according to their hobbies and future development ideas. In this way, students begin to consider the future development direction from grade 9- 10, focus on the related elective courses, and conduct some in-depth research in this regard. Therefore, although Canadian high school graduates are not as in-depth as China students in mathematics and physics, they are very knowledgeable and involved in a certain field. The examination system in Canadian high schools is also different from that in China. In Canada, because there is no unified examination like the National College Entrance Examination in China, for international students, college admission is based on high school average score and language performance.

Whether to accept or not, the Education Bureau has the final say.

The enrollment of public high schools in Canada is usually managed by the Education Bureau, and schools do not have much autonomy. The application process of public high schools in Canada is not complicated. Freshmen usually enter school in autumn. Although the deadline for application is May, the places in the best middle schools will soon be full, so the earlier you apply, the better. When applying, you need to provide the transcripts of the last two years and list all the subjects you have studied (including politics, sports, etc. ). One copy of Chinese and one copy of English need the seal of the school. You can fill in three favorite schools when applying. But if there are no places in these schools, the Education Bureau will designate other schools for you.

In principle, students can apply for public schools themselves, but each school has different characteristics. If the applicant doesn't know anything about the school to which the Education Bureau belongs, letting the Education Bureau designate a school may not necessarily lead to the most suitable prestigious school for him. Besides, it is not easy for applicants to find reliable guardians and suitable host families in China and Canada. Therefore, when applying, you can entrust some reliable intermediaries to act as agents.

After examining the application, the Education Bureau will issue a formal admission notice. Applicants can apply for a student visa at the Canadian Consulate in China. After reporting to the Education Bureau, they will have a test to find out the students' English and math level. Students who are not proficient in English need to make up their English for a while while studying other courses.

International students under 18 need a guardian to study in Canada. The guardian must be a Canadian citizen who lives near the school. Parents of students must provide notarized guardian's power of attorney. The guardian must also be notarized and bear relevant legal responsibilities. You need to find a host family near the school after entering school. It is best to be a native English family and create a good English environment.
