Highly Recommended

I completed SBI4U Biology through Ontario Virtual School and had a great experience. The flexibility of the asynchronous format allowed me to study when I was available and work at my own pace. The course materials were well organized, assessments were varied, and the teacher provided helpful feedback with quick response times. From enrollment to final grade processing, the support was excellent and the entire process was smooth. I would highly recommend OVS to anyone looking for a flexible and high-quality online learning experience.

Excellent Experience with ENG4U at Ontario Virtual School

I recently completed ENG4U through Ontario Virtual School and had a great experience. The course materials were well organized and easy to follow, making it simple to stay on track and learn independently. The assessments were varied and allowed me to demonstrate my understanding in different ways rather than relying only on multiple-choice tests.

The teachers provided helpful feedback and marked assignments in a reasonable amount of time. Whenever I had questions, both the teaching and administrative staff responded quickly and professionally. Report card processing was also efficient, which was especially important as I needed my mark for graduation requirements.

There were no hidden fees, and the entire process was straightforward from registration to completion. I finished the course with a 96% and would definitely recommend Ontario Virtual School to students looking for a flexible and supportive way to earn credits.

OVS Review

I recently completed Grade 12 Nutrition and Health with OVS and had an excellent experience from start to finish. The quality of the lessons were outstanding. Each lesson had very in depth videos and learning materials that made the content very easy to understand and follow. Whenever I had questions, my teacher was always available to provide support and clarification. One thing I really appreciated was the communication. My teacher typically responded to emails in less than 24 hours and marked assignments/tests were returned very quickly within 24 hours with detailed, positive and helpful feedback that allowed me to improve throughout the course. There were no hidden fees and the entire process was straightforward and well organized. The assessments were varied and allowed me to demonstrate my understanding in many ways. Overall, OVS provided a flexible, supportive and high quality learning experience. I would highly recommend OVS to any student looking for a reliable and effective online learning option!

I completed MCV4U through Ontario Virtual School and had a really good overall experience. The lessons were easy to follow, and the assessments helped deepen my understanding of the topics and not just memorize it. Whenever I had a question, the teacher was able to reply to me very quickly in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend OVS to anyone looking for a flexible and effective way to complete a course online.

My Amazing OVS Experience

I recently completed SCH4U Chemistry through Ontario Virtual School and had a great experience. The lessons were detailed, easy to follow, and helped me build a strong understanding of the course material. I especially appreciated being able to learn at my own pace while still having access to support whenever I needed it. I felt well prepared for assessments and more confident about future post-secondary studies.

The variety of assessments allowed me to demonstrate my learning in different ways, and my teacher provided very fast marking and helpful feedback throughout the course. The administrative team was also supportive, with clear communication about deadlines, report card processing, and course requirements. There were no hidden fees or unexpected costs. Overall, I would highly recommend Ontario Virtual School to students looking for a flexible and high-quality online learning experience.

Hi my name is Viona, and I did the online grade 12 University Families in Canada class. I had a great experience, the lessons were very easy to follow and well detailed which helped prepare me for assignments and tests. I also had a great teacher who was very helpful with any questions I had.

Online Grade 11 Academic English

Experiencing online academic english for the grade eleven year alongside all of my other responsibilities and classes was extremely easy as OVS allowed a whole year for me to get the course contents done so it was never attempting to remove my focus from the fast paced in person school classes. I was able to get a 98% on my midterms and a 95% final mark, bringing it up from my previous 56% when done in person. To all the haters, I got a modest 82% in the in person Grade 12 Academic English at my day school, and I believe the reason my in person grade 11 English was so bad is that day school English is a very subjective course and depends heavily on the types of content your specific teacher decides to cover. I enjoyed the OVS course because it was the same for every other student and your teachers didn’t have the power of choosing which content to cover and/or how to weigh each task as that was already fairly predetermined by the amazing administrative team at OVS.

Amazing Learning Experience

I’m Abrar, and I recently completed the Advanced Functions course MHF4U. I think OVS is a great platform for people who are interested in online education and their easy to use operating software makes it much easier to learn remotely. The lessons are in depth and the practice feature allows for experience working with the problems coming on the test. The teachers are also well taught and explain your mistakes and offer corrections. Overall, I would definitely recommend OVS to students looking for online learning.

Perfect for Gap Year Learning

I had a great experience taking a course with OVS. The flexibility was the best part, it let me work at my own pace while I was on a gap year. I chose OVS because I did not take calculus in high school, but I needed it as a requirement for the university program I decided to pursue. OVS made it easy to complete the course on my own timeline. My teacher was responsive, gave helpful feedback, and marked work in reasonable time. The course materials and practice tests were also really useful for preparing. Overall it was a smooth and effective experience, and I would definitely recommend OVS to other students!

Sufficient time to complete the course

I am Sam, and I have recently finished my Eng4c course through OVS. It was a great experience, to complete it. Although it took a year to complete, I am not very good at English. But it was worth it. Now, finally, I will get the High School Diploma.

Great experience with Ontario Virtual School

I took MCV4U-21 through OVS and really enjoyed the experience. One of the most enjoyable aspects of taking this course through OVS is that you are able to learn at your own pace as well as have some structure within the course to help guide you. I decided to take MCV4U-21 through OVS due to its ability to accommodate my schedule as opposed to attending my regular day school; I found it an excellent way to be able to balance school with all of the other things that I needed to do.

My teacher helped me when I had questions, explained them clearly and returned graded assignments in a timely manner. The practice exams, real exams, online resources, etc. were all very useful tools for helping me prepare for evaluations and stay focused throughout the course. The administrative staff were both supportive and easily accessible which made the entire experience even easier. OVS provided a structured, effective and simple approach to online learning, and I recommend it to fellow students who are searching for an alternative e-learning program.

Amazing

I had an excellent experience taking SCH4U with Ontario Virtual School. As someone working for myself while finishing up university prerequisites, the flexibility of OVS was exactly what I needed. I ended the course with a 95% and felt the material was presented very clearly. The teacher was responsive, and the practice tests were a huge help in preparing for the final exam. I’d highly recommend OVS to any student needing a flexible, high-quality learning environment

Definitely recommend OVS if you’re in high school and need to get ahead.

I did 3 courses with OVS and honestly, it’s amazing if you’re rushing to get a credit done or need to learn something fast. The teachers are super nice and helpful, they always reply within a day and mark tests or assignments really fast. Whenever I got stuck, they actually took the time to help me out. I was stressed trying to finish my courses on time, but they were so supportive. Even the admin staff are great, they helped me with my university applications. Definitely recommend OVS if you’re in high school and need to get ahead.

As a student (my name is Youngsuh

As a student (my name is Youngsuh, i took MEL3E-01), I found this Grade 11 math course really clear and easy to follow, and the teacher’s guidance made a big difference in helping me understand difficult concepts. They were always supportive and explained things in a way that made learning feel less stressful and more manageable.

Online courses are affordable and easy…

Online courses are affordable and easy to burn through. But unfortunately the grading process and lack of response from a TVO ILC is horribly slow. If someone on their end actually did their job, then maybe people would actually have an education. They have put me behind and effecting my career progression.

Unfortunately, you have left this comment with the wrong school. Our online high school is OVS, Ontario Virtual School, and we are not affiliated in any way to TVO ILC. Ontario Virtual School has policies in place that staff should be responding to emails in 1 business day and teachers should be marking tests and assignments in 2 business days. In fact, we do see several students come to us from TVO ILC due to the issues you've mentioned above with their program. We would appreciate if you could take this review down and instead post it on the correct school review page. If there is anything we can do to help you with your academic goals, feel free to contact us at info@ontariovirtualschool.ca or book an appointment online with our guidance team to learn more about our school.
