​
Who is Considered to be an International Student?
​
At My Learning Oasis Elite Private School, an international student is considered to be a student who is neither a Canadian citizen nor a Canadian resident, regardless of your geographic location. All other students, regardless of location, are considered non-international students. This information is important because international students who study online DO NOT require a visa, however, those who wish to study in Canada at one of our campuses may need a study visa, depending on their country of origin.
For international students who wish to physically study in Canada for more than six months, a study visa is required.
​
Ontario Student Record
​
All provinces and territories in Canada have jurisdiction over education. In Ontario, an Ontario Student Record (OSR) must exist for every student registered in a school. If a student is attending an Ontario school, online or not, international or not, an OSR must be generated for that student if one does not exist.
The OSR is a physical file folder that contains all official school records for a student. These include transcripts, records of community service, Ontario literacy records, report cards, IEPs, PLARs, and other important information pertaining to the student’s education. Certain documents are required to establish the OSR:
1. Identification
​
A copy of their valid government-issued identification document. The following documents accepted are passport, driver's license, birth certificate. Where the identification documents are not in English or French, they must be accompanied by a notarized English or French translation. The documents may be sent by facsimile (fax), email addressed to the appropriate administrator, mail to

​
For courses that require a prerequisite, official transcripts have to be sent by one of the three means outlined. For transcripts not written in English or French, they must be accompanied by a notarized English or French translation. It must be accompanied by the original transcript.
If it is not possible to translate the transcript into English, a student may submit the transcripts to a translation service such as the World Education Services or the International Education Research Foundation.
​
3. English Requirement

What Is Virtual My Learning Oasis Elite Private School?
My Learning Oasis Elite Private School originated from the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). It is licensed by the Ministry of Education, Ontario, and is, therefore, qualified to issue FULLY accredited Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) to its students, online or in-class, international or local.
​
My Learning Oasis offers courses from kindergarten to grade 12. However, as per the Ministry of Education, Ontario, for students to obtain the OSSD, they must finish 30 credits from grades 9 to 12. Eighteen of these credits are compulsory and twelve are optional.
​
At My Learning Oasis, equivalent courses completed at a student’s prior institution may qualify the student for exemption from those credits as long as they are aligned with the Ontario Curriculum for similar courses and meet the guidelines established by the Ontario Ministry of Education in Appendix 2 of Ontario Schools, 2016. Along with the credits, the student must finish the provincial literacy text and community involvement (see OSSD requirements on this website for greater detail).

Why Choose My Learning Oasis Elite Private School
​
My Learning Oasis bases its teaching/learning methodology on one of the most modern styles of teaching called Constructivism AND proven research on brain development. My Learning Oasis emphasizes mathematics and language at an early age. It is a known fact that critical thinking enhances brain development substantially at the early ages. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions, the CDC, the first eight years of a child is critical for brain development. While physical food is extremely important to facilitate this development, “mental food” is equally important, hence, an emphasis on math, language, and critical thinking during the early years at My Learning Oasis. It is also proven research that during the teenage years, students' brains are physically re-wiring. This is a critical period that shapes their personality for life. It is crucial to boost their confidence. This is why at this stage, failure is not an option. My Learning Oasis deals with this by implementing the “Mastery Teaching” technique. Students are given many chances to hand in quality work with meaningful feedback, instead of accepting sub-par work that results in a failing or sub-par grade - for more detail on this technique read the section on this website about “assessment and evaluation”. All of this confirms that My Learning Oasis is a Learner-centered institution instead of a Grade-centered one. The emphasis is to do whatever it takes to make the student learn!
