Canada College was founded in 2002 by a group of experienced, online Ontario teachers. Many students have graduated from Canada College since our school opened. Many students have commented on how helpful our administrative staff are and the quality teachers at Canada College make their online learning experiences exceptional.

Teaching Strategy
All courses delivered by Canada College are developed with the concept of knowledge building philosophy as the teaching model. Knowledge building is the process by which students generate knowledge through student-driven inquiry and student-generated questions that ultimately deepens student understanding and sustains meaningful inquiry and enables distributed discourse.  Students and teachers communicate via the Internet using conferencing systems, email, chat, and on occasions using the telephone.

As part of Canada College’s pedagogy and expertise in online learning, various learning materials and resources are used to maximize student learning and retention.  Such materials include but are not limited to the following: discussion conferences, multimedia, whiteboards, textbooks, workbooks as well as other computer mediated communication devices
