Learning Management System
Schoology is a virtual learning environment that allows for the delivery of online courses in a way that is user-friendly and secure for teachers, learners and administrators. Schoology customizes the LMS for each school’s unique needs and provides extensive and immediate technical support as needed.
Some of the specialized features include the capability to provide: organized lesson and unit plans, descriptions of assessment and evaluation items, assignment submission boxes, discussion boards, real-time video-conferencing and live chat rooms.
At WEIA, teachers – in consultation with the Principal – design and develop the academic content for each course so that it matches and meets the expectations set out in the curriculum documents for the Ontario Ministry of Education.
Once registered for an online course, students will receive their individual, password-protected log-in information for Schoology. As part of the first lesson, students learn from the teacher how to navigate through the various components of Schoology. As well, students are made aware of the expectations for work completion and active participation in the course.
Each teacher is highly knowledgeable in the curriculum area and is skilled at delivering online courses. In this way WEIA creates a virtual and friendly learning community that supports student engagement and attainment of the academic expectations of the course.

TESTIMONIALS
What Our Students Say
When I first came to Canada, I came to study at a language school for six months. Six months later, I thought I wanted to enter a university to study more in Canada. I had a friend who graduated from high school in Canada and recommended me to go to high school in Canada. I live in Vancouver, but there are more private secondary schools in Toronto than in Vancouver. Furthermore, I wanted to enter a university in Ontario, so I thought a private secondary school in Toronto would be advantageous. After consulting with an employee of Westfield Secondary School, I liked the school and entered the 12th grade. I chose WEIA online classes because it is cheaper than offline classes and has the same quality as offline classes. Teachers are kind and if you do not know anything, you can ask them at any time. When taking online classes, it is important to manage your time and complete all assignments. I am lucky to have Westfield in my life
Hello my name is Juhyeong and I am studying at Westfield. Westfield has an organized system which helps students effectively. We can choose the most suitable courses for us, so we can just focus on studying important subjects and improving our knowledge. Since I have never lived abroad, the lack of opportunities to use English was the biggest obstacle. Fortunately, Westfield offers a variety of English lessons where I could read English novels and make presentations that I had never tried in Korea. Great teachers and counselors also kindly help me whenever I need some help. I would proudly say it was the best choice studying at Westfield and I’m sure that I will achieve my goal here. Thank you!
Hi! I’m Minyoung Park from South Korea and it’s already been a half year since I started studying at Westfield International Academy. I enjoyed every part of studying with my teachers here so far. They’ve been supporting me every time I need help so that I may not fall behind. It has touched my heart that even though it’s online, all the teachers try their best to answer my questions and help me understand every step in the classes. I find time has passed so fast and I hope I can have more great memories with Westfield Academy for the rest of my semesters!
Hi everyone, I’m Rita Wang. I’m a new online student at Westfield and I’m excited to be here to talk about this school. First of all, I’ve had a good experience in the online classes even though I was a little bit skeptical about the quality of online education. The lessons on the website are clear and easy to understand, the documents are accurately categorized, and most importantly, the teachers are patient in responding and answering my questions when I encounter difficulties or doubts. With everyone’s help, I have been able to achieve relatively good results in the first semester – at least better than I expected.
If you guys want to get an OSSD, an online OSSD course might not be the best option, but it will be the best choice if you can’t set foot in Canada and attend lectures face to face or want to use one’s own time flexibly. There are many pros about WEIA courses. Basically, you can save a lot of money, thereby lessening the financial burden. Compared to other secondary schools, the tuition fee is about 40% cheaper than other schools. Furthermore, there is a special session in WEIA, which is called “virtual study hall” where the teachers hold synchronous sessions once a week and students can participate and question about their difficulties, which has been a great experience. I recommend this course to the students who can’t afford to pay for expensive tuition and who can follow the class at their own pace.
Hello, I’m Subeen Jeong, who has been taking an OSSD program at Westfield Education for the last 6 months. When I first decided to take online courses, I was worried that the quality of all the courses would be bad because it is non-face-to-face, but now I’m very satisfied.
First of all, Westfield is suitable for students overseas. There are many places where you can take online classes but they offer courses in real time, and due to the time difference, it is very difficult to follow courses successfully. But Westfield uploads and updates lecture videos on the subject portal, so I can take classes and do assignments comfortably regardless of the time difference. Second, I realize that the students’ questions and answers are well managed. If you ask for help or leave questions through school portal messages or emails, you will get an answer quickly. Finally, I personally suffered from a difficult situation in the middle of the semester, but the school responded to it quickly, so I felt that the school was very considerate of the students. As I work and study at the same time, these things have become very positive.
