Braemar's University Preparation Program

Our University Preparation Program, established in 1995, is inspired by a rich, two-fold understanding of success: we help qualify students for their chosen post-secondary program, and we prepare them to do well.

Certification

Students take courses toward the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). In other words, when they graduate, they will have the same diploma as any Canadian student who attended a public high school. This is how we qualify them for post-secondary entrance. The OSSD has worldwide recognition.

Preparation

Getting into a post-secondary institution, however, is only the first challenge; students should also do well. For this they need the appropriate academic preparation. During their time with us students develop the study skills and the intellectual independence essential for success in a Western post-secondary institution.

How do I know what courses I need?

Our experienced guidance officers will create a study-plan to ensure you have fulfilled all the entrance requirements for the program of your choice.

Will Braemar help me apply?

Of course. Our Guidance office will make all efforts to assist students to apply for post-secondary programs, whether in Canada, or anywhere else in the world. Our college has detailed information about the various programs and entrance requirements of all Canadian universities. Throughout the year representatives from many post-secondary institutions visit our college and give exclusive presentations to Braemar students.

Fast Track Semester System

Our unique semester system provides students with advantages they will find nowhere else - advantages that can translate into benefits such as graduating sooner and faster university acceptance. Braemar has five intake periods per year. (To see more information about starting dates, click here) This means students can begin, or graduate, five times each year. In addition, students requiring less than eight credits can finish sooner than students in regular schools, which usually have only two semesters. Moreover, students can advance up to four levels in a given subject in just one academic year!

THE SEQUENCE     A. The student is given placement tests in English and Mathematics. B. Based on these test results, and the post-secondary intentions of the student, a customized program of study is devised. The student is informed about what courses he or she needs to take in order to qualify for the college or university programs they seek to enter; C. The student attends courses and does the work required. It is difficult to say how long the program of study will take to complete, as it depends on the level and study skills of the student, and also the work previously completed in his or her own country and the applicable post-secondary academic goals; D. From time to time guidance meetings are held to determine if the student is on course. Post-secondary options will be discussed in light of the student?s progress to that point; E. Students may visit the colleges or universities they wish to attend; tours can easily be arranged. They may also attend the presentations that the universities and colleges make at our college; F.
