FAQ

All questions.

Are Innocent Hearts credits recognized by universities and colleges?

Yes. Innocent Hearts is a private secondary school inspected by the Ontario Ministry of Education (BSID 886638). Every credit you earn here — in class or online — counts toward your Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and appears on your Ontario Student Transcript, which universities and colleges accept.

How long does it take to complete a course?

Each credit course includes 110 hours of instruction. In our four-term model you study two courses at a time and complete them in roughly ten weeks. Summer courses run for one month, and online students working full-time can often finish two courses in about two months.

When can I start?

Admissions are open all year. Full-time and part-time students can begin at the start of any of our four terms (September, November, February or April), summer students in July or August, and online students at almost any time.

What documents do I need to enrol?

Proof of status in Canada (passport, PR card or permit), proof of the course prerequisite (a transcript or report card), your Ontario Education Number (OEN) if you have one, and your Ontario health card where applicable.

Can I take a course while attending my regular high school?

Absolutely. Many of our students take a night-school, weekend, summer or online course to get ahead, free up their timetable or improve a mark — and we send the final mark to their home school.

Will you update my university or college application with my new mark?

Yes. Tell us which applications you've made (OUAC for university, OCAS for college) when you enrol and we'll make sure your final mark is reported.

Are textbooks and course materials included?

Yes. Books and study materials are provided at no extra charge, and online students receive full access to lessons, teacher notes and class recordings.

Do you offer the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Course (OSSLC)?

Yes. Students who have been eligible to write the OSSLT at least twice and have been unsuccessful at least once can take OLC4O to meet the provincial literacy requirement.

Can adults return to finish their high school diploma?

Yes. Mature students are very welcome — our evening and online options are built for people balancing work and family, and our teachers specialise in helping students return after a long break.

How do I pay my fees?

Pay securely online by credit card, send an Interac e-Transfer to info@innocenthearts.ca, or pay in person at the school office.

What is your refund policy?

The full school fee is refundable (less a $100 administration fee) if you cancel within the first two days after classes start. No refunds are issued after that, or if a student is required to leave the program.

Do you accept international students?

Yes. Students from India, the UAE, Pakistan, South Africa, Italy and many other countries have completed Grade 12 with us. We issue the Letter of Acceptance you need for your study permit and work with agents in several countries.

What languages do your staff speak?

Classes are taught in English, and our team can also help families in Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu.
