As part of the student services package, City Academy carefully reviews each student transcript to ensure that Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) requirements and university/college prerequisites are met. The counsellor assists the principal in advising students on subject selection to assure that the high school transcript will assist in university/college applications and placement.
Each student’s OSR (Ontario Student Record) is carefully reviewed; individual needs are identified and taken into account in program planning. Recommendations for program delivery which were successful in the past are communicated to teachers, and effective approaches to meet different learning styles are discussed among school staff on an ongoing basis. The school’s small classroom setting ensures that teachers are able to provide each student with individualized attention. The school’s objective is to teach students the skills they will need to succeed at the post-secondary level, and to assist them in maximizing their academic potential.
The aim at City Academy is to prepare students to enter the university or college program of their choice, confident in the knowledge that they are well-equipped personally and academically for post-secondary studies and career success. A full-time post-secondary services counsellor is available to assist students in researching various academic institutions and programs, and to ensure that applications are completed in a timely manner. The counsellor can also assist students in identifying their interests and abilities, and help them to identify relevant academic fields. Students have ready access to her research skills, thus negating in many cases the need for consultation outside of the school. Our goal is to expose our students to as many choices as possible. This service is part of our basic fee structure. Students are walked through each step of the university/college application process. Applications to Ontario colleges and universities are completed through the school. Students may sign up for sessions to complete applications to other Canadian universities. Assistance with international applications is available by appointment. Guidance support is available for students applying to programs that require a portfolio or supplementary application (i.e. some business programs, fine arts programs, etc.).
