School status and accountability
OSSD Credit-Granting Authority
Clear information about what COLA's inspected status means for students and families.
What Ministry-inspected means
The Ontario Ministry of Education inspects private secondary schools that seek to grant OSSD credits. The inspection concerns the standard of instruction in credit courses, including curriculum, assessment, reporting, course outlines and credit integrity.
What the principal may do
The principal may grant an OSSD credit to a student of COLA after the student successfully completes all course requirements and earns a final mark of at least 50%. Enrolment alone is not the same as earning a credit.
BSID 667982
The Board School Identification number identifies Canadian Online Learning Academy in Ontario's private-school system. The school's public information and student records use this number where required.
Independent private school
COLA operates independently of the Ministry. Its inspected status and credit-granting authority do not mean that the school is accredited, licensed, operated or endorsed by the Ministry.
