Totally recommend!!

Course material was outlined clearly and easy to follow. I really enjoyed that the course was asynchronous so I could complete whenever there was a calm period aside from my main schoolwork. I am glad OVS offered this opportunity as my high school does not offer a health and nutrition course. I highly recommend!

Why OVS Worked for Me

My experience with OVS Chemistry (SCH4U) was very positive overall. The best part was the flexibility, since I could work at my own pace and fit the course around my schedule. I chose to take the course with OVS instead of my regular day school because it gave me a chance to improve my mark and learn in a way that worked better for me. The teacher was helpful and usually responded to questions and marked evaluations in a reasonable amount of time, which made the course feel organized and manageable. I also found the practice tests, exams, and online textbook helpful because they gave me a better idea of what to expect and helped me prepare. The school office and student success team were supportive when needed, which made the process smoother. My marks were also posted to OUAC, which was important for university admissions and made the experience less stressful. Overall, OVS was a GREAT option for me.

CPW4U At OVS

I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to take CPW4U through OVS. This was my first time experiencing education through OVS, and it was nothing but amazing. The structure of the course, content, and assignments were easy to access and complete; my instructor was extremely efficient with marking and returning assignments, usually within 1-2 days. Now, because of OVS, I will be able to go into Grade 12 this September while already having a U credit! Thank you, OVS, will definitely take again.

I would 100% recommend their services

I would 100% recommend their services. The teachers are very accommodating, they always have quick response times and they always give feedback and assignments get graded very fast. I personally did two courses with OVS and they give discounts at checkpoints like completing a course final or midterm. They have scholarships for students both intentional and domestic, while this wasn’t a priority for me this might be for other people. The admin was always accommodating and helped me as a grade 12 student adjust and understand how the OUAC system worked. Overall great service and great people.

No regrets taking the course

Taking MHF4U with OVS was a really great experience. The course was well organized and the lessons made difficult concepts much easier to understand. I chose to take it through OVS instead of my regular day school because I liked the flexibility of working at my own pace. My teacher was very responsive and always answered questions quickly, and all of my evaluations were marked fast (within 2-3 days). The practice tests and course resources were also very useful when preparing for assessments. The platform was easy to use and everything, including posting marks to OUAC, went smoothly. OVS has helped me get the grades I needed to get into universities I didn't think I was able to get into.

Since my start, and now completion of the course, I have recommended multiple friends to take OVS for the same course. Every friend that took my recommendation has said that they enjoy the teaching style and self paced aspects of the course a lot, and have regretted their choice to take math through OVS. Thank you OVS!

Really Helpful Lessons

The lessons at OVS School were very helpful and very detailed, making it easy to understand the material. The teacher was really nice and she replied within 24 hours, and if it was during office hours she responded in just about half an hour. I really appreciated the support and guidance throughout my learning. Highly recommend!

Great choice if taking SPH4U

As a student who has already graduated from secondary school I took OVS to upgrade/take prerequisites. For SPH4U I had completed the course in a timely manner. The teacher responded very fast to questions even though everything was asynchronous. It can be challenging but very rewarding in the end.

Why OVS made Online Learning easier for me

I had a really positive experience taking a course with OVS. The best part for me was the flexibility provided because I could do the work whenever I was most comfortable, and it never felt rushed. This made it a lot less stressful and helped me actually understand the material instead of just trying to keep up.

I chose to take my course with OVS instead of my regular day school because in day school everything often moves very quickly, and if you fall behind, it can be hard to catch up. With OVS, the structure made it much easier to stay on track, and I really appreciated being able to rewatch lessons whenever I needed to review a concept.

The practice tests were also extremely helpful because they made sure I was properly prepared for the actual tests. Being able to practice beforehand gave me a lot more confidence going into tests and assignments. Overall, OVS is very supportive and student-friendly, and it made online learning a much better experience for me.

Why taking OVS helped me.

Kaysan Dhalla - MHF4U
I had a great experience taking MHF4U with Ontario Virtual School. The best part of the course was the flexibility, as it allowed me to work on my own time and at my own pace, which really helped me stay organized and reduce stress.

I chose OVS instead of my regular day school because I found it difficult to learn effectively in a traditional classroom setting. The online learning environment gave me the space to focus, review lessons when needed, and better understand the material, which played a big role in my success.

The teacher was very responsive whenever I had questions and marked assignments, tests, and exams quickly with helpful feedback. The practice tests and exams were especially useful because they closely reflected the actual evaluations, which made me feel confident and well prepared.

Overall, OVS offered a supportive, well-structured learning experience, and I would strongly recommend it to students looking for flexibility and academic success.

Ontario Virtual School Review

I took MCR3U (Grade 11 University Math) with Ontario Virtual School, and my experience was honestly excellent. The best part of taking a course with OVS was the flexibility, it allowed me to work at my own pace while still staying organized and on track. The course layout was very clear, and everything I needed was easy to access.

I chose to take this course with OVS instead of my regular day school because I wanted a more structured online environment that would let me focus and improve my understanding of the material. That decision definitely paid off. The teacher was very responsive to my questions and marked evaluations in a timely manner, which really helped me stay motivated and confident.

I made frequent use of the practice tests, exams, and online resources provided, and they were extremely helpful in preparing me for assessments. The support from the school office and student success team was also great whenever I had a question, I received quick and helpful responses.

Overall, OVS provided a smooth and positive e-learning experience, and I was able to finish the course with a 97%, which I’m very proud of. I would definitely recommend Ontario Virtual School to students looking for a flexible, supportive, and well-organized online learning option.
