How to arrange the enrollment of Canadian immigrant children?

For domestic applicants, the most attractive thing about immigrating to Canada is the high-quality and comprehensive teaching quality in North America. However, for new immigrants who arrive in Canada with their children, they are often very worried before landing. In a strange environment and a different language, how can I arrange my children to go to school?

Children can enter primary school at the age of 6. Canada's junior high school and primary school are in grade * * * 9, and high school is from grade 10 to grade 12. Ontario has eight years of primary school and five years of secondary school * * * 13. Classes are usually held from Monday to Friday, from 8: 30 to 8: 50, and end on 15. Sports, drama and extracurricular activities are generally arranged after 15.

The characteristics of primary and secondary education in Canada are very different from those in the east. Mainly reflected in the distribution of grades, teaching methods and educational ideas. In Canada, not only the educational system of primary and secondary schools in different provinces is different, but also the proofreaders have certain autonomy and flexibility in the choice of teaching materials, and there is no unified teaching material at the national or provincial level. Of course, the choice of teaching materials should also be within the scope of examination and approval by the Provincial Department of Education.

Compared with eastern countries, primary and secondary school students in Canada study more easily. Primary schools, in particular, pay attention to "entertaining" and encourage children to study in a relaxed and happy environment. Canada's primary and secondary school curriculum has less pressure and less mathematics, physics and chemistry content. Teaching materials pay more attention to practicality and the cultivation of students' ability. The school does not advocate cramming teaching and has less homework. In addition to the summer vacation after the end of the school year, students have two holidays in the school year, including two weeks of Christmas vacation and one week of spring vacation in March. During holidays, students can participate in various government-sponsored holiday activities. There are tutors, tourists, sports and entertainment games. These activities can make students' holiday life very happy and fulfilling.

There are three types of primary schools and secondary schools in Canada: public schools, missionary schools and private schools. Public schools are managed and supervised by provincial or local governments and funded by taxpayers. Parents only need to pay a small amount of school supplies and travel expenses. A missionary school refers to a school run by the Roman Catholic Church; Private schools are privately funded or run. Students in the first two can enjoy free education, which is a kind of welfare given by the state to the whole people; The latter charges tuition fees, and the price difference between schools is also very different.

If you want to send your children to public primary and secondary schools, you can contact the education management department under the Education Bureau near your place of residence. Admission to public schools in Canada is completely free, and parents only need to pay for extra services and outings provided by some schools.

If there is a good school near your residence, you can consult the school directly and go through the admission procedures. Generally speaking, primary school students (including kindergarten to seventh grade) must attend the school closest to home, walk or take the school bus to school. Middle school students can choose to study in different places according to their educational needs.
