Student Guidance

William Academy provides a number of services to allow both our international and local students to achieve their academic goals as well as providing a friendly, involved school community. Our small classes and enthusiastic teachers enable students to fully explore their academic, creative, and leadership potential in the classroom; our various clubs and extracurricular activities provide other avenues to gain new vital skills.

Administrative and guidance staff are readily available to provide students with advice and support.

In addition, we have sports and extra-curricular activities that provide students with opportunities to improve their communication and leadership skills.

Guidance and Counseling Services

William Academy‘s guidance counselors conference with students on a regular basis to monitor their learning progress and discuss any academic concerns. We feel passionately about enabling students to achieve their full potential.

Our integrated counseling services help students:

  • research fields of study and careers
  • plan their courses in order to achieve their academic and career goals
  • explore their post-secondary options
  • resolve any academic concerns
  • assist in settling in Canada and adjusting to a new school

 

Individualized Learning Plans

In order to develop an ideal learning plan, students are given a diagnostic assessment upon enrollment at William Academy. This written and oral assessment allows guidance staff to best place students in classes based on prior knowledge in core subjects including English and math.

University Application and Admission

Our counselors and staff guide students throughout the process of post-secondary application and admission in a number of ways. We consider university rankings, location, programs, tuition, and scholarships, in addition to individual student goals and needs. According to the academic objectives and interests of a student, William Academy’s guidance counselors can recommend programs and post-secondary institutions.

Please see the University Placement page for more information.
