Information for Parents

The UK and Canada are world leaders in education.

Both countries provide young people with a quality education and address issues of quality assurance, diversity and personal development. Students move easily between the two systems and there are opportunities within Canada to study for UK qualifications.  

Canadian Education System

Education in Canada falls under the responsibility of the provincial governments. Each province has a Ministry of Education dedicated to the management of education.

UK QUALIFICATIONS IN CANADA

UK qualifications are generally not formally taught in Canada, though there are some exceptions. There are also international qualifications, such as the International Baccalaureate, which are taught in Canadian school systems.
