COLA welcomes course-information requests from students in Canada and around the world. The situations below help families identify the questions to ask before any formal enrolment decision.
A student may need a specific course before entering a later secondary or postsecondary pathway. COLA can discuss the requested course, the stated prerequisite and the records that would need to be verified securely before formal enrolment.
Request prerequisite guidance →A repeated course is a new course attempt. Before enrolment, COLA would confirm course availability, prerequisite evidence, the student's verified records arrangement and how the repeated result would be reported under Ontario requirements.
Ask about upgrading a course →Primarily asynchronous learning can help students balance school with work, health needs, family responsibilities, athletics or other commitments. Flexibility does not remove weekly timelines, attendance expectations, authentic-work requirements or scheduled assessments.
Discuss flexible online learning →Students in Canada and around the world can connect Ontario curriculum course planning with a future postsecondary goal. COLA can help families identify program prerequisites, organize university research and prepare an application timeline. Before formal course enrolment, COLA would still confirm technology, scheduling, identity, records and reporting requirements.
Homeschooled students may benefit from structured teacher-led coursework, clear assessment and responsive support. Any credit and transcript arrangements must be verified securely and documented before a result is reported.
Ask about homeschool support →Adult learners may request information about a specific course, prerequisite or academic goal. COLA does not currently offer PLAR, mature-student assessment or full diploma planning; the school will explain what it can and cannot provide before enrolment.
Request adult-learner guidance →Share the student's current grade, the course or subject of interest and the learning goal. Do not send identification, transcripts or other sensitive records through the public form.
