ENG4U Review

I go to school in Alberta, but wanted to do grade 12 English with Ontario. This curriculum was easy to follow and understand, and the teacher replied very quickly and supported me through any questions I had. The IT team was also very helpful when I struggled to submit any of my assignments. Assignments were marked quickly and carefully as well, which is very helpful when using feedback to do better. Overall, I would highly recommend OVS for ENG4U as it supported my learning and allowed me to finish high school English very strongly.

Choose a different online school for your kids

Test are way too long and questions are very incoherent and inconsistent. Response times are way too long and unhelpful. Everything is just copied and pasted from the emails to the course material to the tests. Would not recommend. (I am choosing to stay anonymous, but these experiences are genuine and real)

Incredible Learning Experience. Success is very achievable through OVS!

It was fantastic to take FSF3U with OVS. My instructor was incredibly helpful in providing guidance, instructions, and teaching the lesson modules. She would always promptly mark assignments and respond to any questions/emails in a timely manner and was incredibly understanding and kind. I really loved being able to take this course from the comfort of my own home too. The online practice was quite helpful in preparing me for the actual evaluations! Student success was also helpful! This course has been added to my transcript and I look forward to taking FSF4U next semester!

I had a positive experience with ovs…

I had a positive experience with ovs doing grade 12 chemistry. I needed to take this course to fulfil a prerequisite for a university program and found that the content well prepared me for my science courses. I enjoyed the flexibility that ovs provides allowing me to do course material on my own time, in the comfort of my own home. My instructor marked all my assignments quickly and tries helping me as much as possible.

Experience with Calculus and a Vectors as a Grade 12 student

As a grade 12 student who was worried about my learning experience and grades for university I was very pleased with taking OVS. I was able to take my time completing my work while ensuring I learn all of the concepts in the course fully. Overall, very happy with the course and the support from the school that lead to my success.

Overall amazing experience.

I thought the lessons were a bit confusing at times, and sometimes the assignments were difficult to comprehend in terms of wording. However, my teacher made it possible to understand everything. He always answered my questions and took a short time marking my tests. I found the course website to be easy to use, and I enjoyed not being in a rush to learn. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would honestly do it again.

Great experience

Great experience! I recommended it to some of my friends, in my opinion it’s way better than average school as you get a whole year to learn and understand the concepts in your classes.

The course was exelent!

The course was great! there was not a lack of course work, and the optional assessments were great for reviewing content that you were not familiar with. I liked that fact that you could work at your own pace, and the support from the chat was fast and effective. I really enjoyed this course and felt like a learned a lot.

NBE3U experience

I completed the NBE3U English course this summer, and I loved it! I loved being able to work at my own pace, and there was zero pressure to complete evaluations within a time limit. The lessons were well organized and related well to the assignments, test, and final exam. My teacher was amazing; she responded to any emails within hours and handed back evaluations within a day. I would recommend Ontario Virtual School to anyone, and I will definitely be completing another course in the future :)

I really enjoyed taking PSK4U with OVS

I really enjoyed taking PSK4U with OVS. The flexibility allowed me to work at my own pace while staying on track with both my graduation requirements and post-secondary goals. I chose OVS because of its clear course structure, which made the material easy to follow. My teacher was very responsive to questions and returned feedback quickly, which helped me monitor my progress throughout the course. The practice tests, exam reviews, and online textbook were especially useful in preparing for the final exam. Overall, my experience was very positive, and I even recommended the course to my sister, who also enjoyed the online school.

I couldn’t ask for a better teacher, she marked my evaluations same day and was very fast to reply. When I faced issues the admin was fast to resolve it. The food and nutrition course is easy to follow and I was able to finish in less than a month, highly recommend if you need a credit fast.

As someone who goes to a regular day…

As someone who goes to a regular day school, where marks are often determined by who your teacher is, OVS offers a wonderful solution to the stress of possibly doing bad in a course due to reasons not in your control. The content itself is very viable and similar to that of day school, the teachers mark tests and respond to any inquiries very quickly, and the overall setup of the service is wonderful. Highly recommend
