Canadian Curriculum
Canada does not have a national curriculum; rather, the provincial governments are responsible for establishing the curriculum for their schools, and each province has its own, ministry-established common curriculum. Canada is a federation of 10 provinces; Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Saskatchewan, and under the Canadian Constitution, provincial governments have exclusive responsibility for all levels of education. There is no ministry or department of education at the federal level.
Canada is a bilingual country, which makes studying here an excellent opportunity to develop your language skills and boost your prospects for an interesting career. Coursework in French and English is an integral part of Canada’s educational system, which enriches its cultural and community life.
High school: High school, also sometimes called “senior high school” or “secondary high school,” marks the end of compulsory education in Canada. It normally runs from Grade 9 to 12. It ends in Grade 12 in all provinces except Quebec. The Canadian education system is ranked among the best in the world, with our nation’s students coming seventh overall in a new international study of school systems.
The English national curriculum is the most popular curriculum choice in the world, followed by a US-oriented curriculum and the IB. The global accessibility of a curriculum can be a deciding factor for a relocating family when it comes to school selection.
Not harder but certainly better. I think Canada ranks around 16th in the world in terms of quality of education—not good but better than the USA’S 27th. … American education tends to be very narrowly focused on the USA.
