Vision & Philosophy
The vision of the Royal Ontario High School Grade 12 Foundation Year is to offer a flexible, self-paced, and academically rigorous learning environment at a cost that is truly accessible for international students.
The program is operated strictly as a cost-recovery initiative - no profits are pursued. Instead, the focus is on providing a high-quality final preparation year that builds confidence, academic readiness, and a clear bridge into Canadian postsecondary education.
"The goal is simple: make the final year of high school more affordable, more supportive, and more effective."
