The Canadian education system is close to that of China, and public schools generally implement compulsory primary and secondary education. It generally takes *** 12 years from primary school to high school. The education system in different provinces is not consistent, generally taking six years, three years and three years as the unit (that is, six years in primary school, three years in junior high school and three years in senior high school). But since 2003, Ontario has changed from the original thirteenth grade to the twelfth grade, with six years of primary school, two years of junior high school and four years of senior high school. It takes 12 years to graduate from high school, and you can graduate after completing 30 credits in high school.

2. 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.

3. Examination system:

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.

4. Admission system:

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. 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.

In addition, Canada also has a preparatory academic system for foreign senior three students:

Canadian college preparatory course is actually the last year of private high schools in Canada, and senior three students can go to Canada to study preparatory course. The so-called preparatory course is the university preparatory course. During the one-year preparatory period, students can learn many college courses, which is an enlightenment and warm-up. Not only can you be familiar with the learning environment in Canada, but students will be in a pure English environment this year. Domestic senior three students go to Canada for preparatory courses, and the preparatory time is generally 8- 12 months. However, most students with basic knowledge of English in China need three to six months to complete the language, and then it takes nearly one year to complete the credits, so it takes about one and a half years to obtain the Canadian high school diploma and apply for Canadian universities.
