Download calendar (PDF)Students may register for courses through the school website at www.ederacademy.ca or by emailing. Our registrar will respond to all inquiries within 48 hours. Registrations are weekly; any students who have registered by Friday at 5 p.m. EST, will start their course on the following Wednesday after 6 p.m. EST; providing that all the required documents and tuition fees have been received. When necessary, a student may also request a specific start date be arranged in advance. During the registration process, all students must supply copies of the following documents: Ontario Student Transcript (OST), Credit Summary, or Local School Transcript translated into English.
For any out-of-province and international students, the equivalency process below will outline the required documentation, which will still include, where necessary, an English competency assessment, a PLAR assessment, all academic records from their school, personal identification, and any other pertinent information that would help in placing the student in their correct and appropriate grade/course.
Mature students with related prior learning or work experience may apply for an exemption from a prerequisite.
Students with special learning or medical needs should submit their Individual Education Plan (IEP) and/or medical records at the time of registration so teachers may provide adequate support during courses.
Assessment is based on Ontario curriculum expectations and the achievement chart. Evidence is collected over time through observations, conversations and student products. Learning skills and work habits are reported separately from curriculum achievement, except where a skill is itself a curriculum expectation.
For 2026–2027, Eder Academy applies the following school-approved assessment and evaluation structure for final course marks, within the Ministry of Education's secondary assessment and evaluation framework. In Grades 9 and 10, the final mark is based on 65% classroom work, 20% final evaluation and 15% attendance and participation. In Grades 11 and 12, the final mark is based on 65% classroom work, 25% final evaluation and 10% attendance and participation. Excused absences do not negatively affect a student's mark.
The final evaluation is administered at the end of the course or during the designated examination period. Written-exam and culminating-task components follow Ministry subject-specific requirements. Online final evaluations use an approved proctor or secure online proctoring. The applicable Course Outline identifies the evaluation tasks.
Teachers provide clear learning goals, success criteria, descriptive feedback and multiple opportunities to demonstrate learning. A student's individual work is evaluated separately even when a group activity is used.
Based on the premise that the primary purpose of assessment and evaluation is to improve student learning, students will be given additional opportunities to demonstrate their learning if they are not successful on their first attempt. It will be at the teacher's discretion and professional opinion on when to exercise this option.
Regular attendance is key to student success. Adequate attendance requires students to log in and actively participate at least three times a week. A learning log after each class (or as according to each teacher's requirements) must be submitted through the portal. Students who do not attend/log on regularly and/or who do not actively participate in their courses seriously jeopardize their opportunities to learn and reach their potential.
Teachers will monitor learning logs and attendance patterns for their respective students and will work with them, and their parents/guardians to support students in any way they can. If student attendance issues cannot be resolved, the administration will be informed and possible consequences may include student and parental/guardian contact, attendance contracts, or even removal from the program.
Attendance for record-keeping purposes will be based on the number of completed lessons. For example, if a course has 24 different lessons to complete and the student has completed 12 of these, the attendance register would indicate that the student was in attendance 50% of the 110 hours per credit course. This value will be scaled accordingly for the mid-semester report card.
Students who do not complete their courses within 12 months will be removed from the course and will not be reinstated unless there are extenuating circumstances that can be verified by appropriate documentation.
Plagiarism is the act of theft when someone else's work is used intentionally or unintentionally and presented as one's own. Eder Academy of Canada considers cheating and plagiarism a serious offense that may result in significant academic consequences such as the expulsion of the student. The Plagiarism Policy is designed to teach the student how to identify and distinguish between negligent and dishonest plagiarism, how to avoid committing the offense, and how to practice proper paraphrasing. Eder Academy of Canada teachers have access to software that detects plagiarism and can quickly identify work copied from available online materials. Teachers have experience and can often tell if work submitted is not equal to the student's level of understanding.
Negligent Plagiarism means presenting someone's work as your own in an accidental, naïve, careless, or reckless way. This often happens when paraphrasing incorrectly or when a student forgets to cite the source after borrowing words or sentences from another source.
Dishonest Plagiarism means that the student is presenting a person's work as their own on purpose. All cases of plagiarism that are not considered to be negligent plagiarism will be automatically assumed to be dishonest plagiarism. Examples of dishonest plagiarism are as follows:
Eder Academy of Canada values each student's originality and achievement through hard work. Teachers will guide students to use their own knowledge and understanding and will be available to answer any questions or concerns students may have regarding this policy.
Accurate usage of works cited and displaying academic integrity not only gives deserving credit to all research sources; it also prepares and provides a stable foundation for students when they enter universities or colleges.
Courses are designed to be flexible around the different needs of students in everyday life. Students are able to access course materials freely and can replay media inserts as often as they require.
At Eder Academy, consistent student achievement of the Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum requirements is a primary objective. Students are expected to log in and submit assignments in a timely manner according to their course timelines. Students may create their own submission schedules for assignments and request an extension (as per Ministry of Education evaluation policies) of their course completion up to a maximum of one year (additional tuition fees apply).
As an online school, Eder Academy does not accept course assignments via Canada Post, courier, or other forms of paper mail. Students are to submit all assignments electronically. If any handwritten assignments are requested, students are to scan the assignment and submit via email directly to the applicable teacher or upload the files through the School's portal.
Students are responsible for their online behavior and self-discipline throughout the school year. Late or missing assignments without any prior communication with the applicable teacher will be marked accordingly at the teacher's discretion. Students must understand and accept the consequences of their actions. Eder Academy encourages students to communicate any difficulties they may be having with the assignments prior to the due dates.
To further assist students and prevent late and missed assignments, due dates will be clearly communicated and established. Students will honor these deadlines to maintain a consistent standard of excellence. Teachers will reach out to students who have not submitted work on time and students will be given an opportunity to explain why he/she has failed to complete the assignment in a timely manner. Teachers will determine whether the student can be offered an extension with no academic penalty.
For each evaluation, teachers will provide students with a due date and an ultimate deadline. The ultimate deadline represents the final chance for students to submit their assignments for evaluation. This deadline is set by the teacher but should be consistent across all teachers of the same course. The ultimate deadline must be reasonable and communicated to students in advance.
Teachers will determine whether the student can be offered an extension with no academic penalty. Deducting marks for late or missed assignments will be a last resort. Marks are determined from evidence of curriculum achievement and the applicable final-evaluation and attendance/participation requirements. Teachers use interventions, extensions and alternative opportunities before applying any permitted consequence for late or missed work.
Eder Academy guidance will reach out to the student to offer help with time-management skills and schedule planning if needed, but the student is ultimately responsible for the completion of all assignments to successfully complete the credits needed for an OSSD.
