MCV4U

OVS was a fun experience. It was super educational and helpful to my learning. I took MCV4U (calculus and vectors). My teacher was super nice and helpful. She marked fast and replied promptly if there were questions or concerns.

Great Experience Taking Grade 12 Chemistry Online

I recently completed Grade 12 Chemistry (SCH4U) with OVS, and it was a great experience. Chemistry has always been one of my harder subjects, but the class was set up in a way that made it easier to grasp. I appreciate the lessons being clear, well-detailed and easy to follow along and that I could follow at my own pace. The teacher also responds quickly to my emails and gives proper feedback on my assignments. I received support and help when I needed it and had questions. The virtual labs and practice questions were also useful in preparing for unit tests, lab write-ups and understanding concepts. Overall, I feel that OVS allowed me to fit this course into my schedule without compromising my other classes, while still learning a lot. I highly recommend OVS to any student who seeks to take Chemistry online in a flexible and supportive learning environment.

Navnoor’s MCV4U-32 experience

Taking Calculus and Vectors through Ontario Virtual School was a valuable experience that helped me strengthen both my math skills and my ability to learn independently. Since the course was self-paced, I learned how to manage my time effectively and stay organized to meet my goals. The lessons and practice problems allowed me to build a deeper understanding of challenging concepts such as derivatives, vectors, and their real-world applications. Although some topics were difficult at first, working through them improved my problem-solving skills and perseverance. Overall, this course helped me become a more confident learner and better prepared me for future studies.

Excellent OVS Experience

The lessons were very thorough and easy to understand, teachers are nice and available for questions, and tests and exams are marked quick. The assessments test you on many thinking styles and the system is very easy to use. Overall I enjoyed my experience at OVS

Amazing

I recently finished Calculus and Vectors with OVS, and needless to say, I am beyond satisfied with the course. From the teacher to the course, everything was extremely well planned and helpful. My teacher, Ms.Bushell, was fantastic and always marked tests within 24 hours. The course was easy to follow and very manageable. Overall, 5/5 experience.

Calculus and Vectors

I'm Lauren, and I took Calculus and Vectors with OVS and really enjoyed my experience. Compared to taking the course in person, you are much more able to work at your own pace, and there are lots of resources available to you to ensure you're properly understanding all the content. I would highly recommend.

I have just finished SCH4U with OVS

I have just finished SCH4U with OVS, and I had an amazing experience overall with no difficulties whatsoever. First of all, before I was researching this school, I was a little stressed and scared of the idea of it, especially going through the hassle of looking for a proctor for the exam, etc. However, as soon as I joined the course, everything felt so quick and stress-free, and it really made the last semester of my high school career amazing. There are no hidden fees, and you pay upfront and all of it completely, and they immediately send you the login and teacher information, etc. I go to a pretty prestigious high school in the GTA, and it is notoriously known for its hard tests and assignments, but even with OVS, I feel like it really challenged the difficulty levels by having a variety of questions while teaching exactly what some of my friends were learning in their in-person classes, while still being extremely easy to follow and keep track of. I finished this course in around 3 months by doing multiple lessons and reviewing/practicing every day. Since I'm applying to university this year, I have to process my marks through OUAC, and requesting my midterm and final mark was extremely easy; with the click of a button, they sent all the marks to OUAC immediately to ensure I met all the deadlines. My teacher, Ms. Chevalier, always marked my work and replied to my emails/questions in less than 48 hours, and the majority of the time in less than 24. Overall, I had an amazing experience in OVS, and I would definitely recommend it to classmates or future students to promote learning in a stress-free environment, and I think that really helped me improve both as a person and as a student.

I took Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U) through Ontario Virtual School and had a great experience overall. The lessons were organized and easy to follow, which made it easier to learn difficult concepts at my own pace. The assessments were varied and tested understanding rather than relying only on multiple-choice questions.

The teachers provided helpful feedback on assignments, and marked work was returned within a reasonable time. Whenever I had questions, responses through email were professional and timely. The administrative staff were also helpful when it came to processing documents and answering inquiries.

There were no hidden fees during my experience, and the course was delivered as advertised. I finished the course with a strong understanding of the material and was able to achieve a final mark of 97%.

I would recommend OVS to students looking for a flexible and well-structured way to complete high school courses online.

Horrible ripoff of a place they don't give a crap about you only want to take your money and run. Numerous attempts to get a hold of teachers and support staff and no replies back. Daughter had serious medical conditions which put her out of commission for a couple weeks and not once did they answer the phone or emails sent to them. One grand down the toilet for two classes that she ended up not even needing as they cancelled the program at the college. A TOTAL SCAM!!!

It is unfortunate that the student did not achieve their goals with OVS, however, we would like to clarify some inaccuracies in your review.

First, the student in question is an adult learner, and throughout the course our staff, including our student success team, made multiple attempts to contact the student regarding the course progress. Unfortunately, those outreach efforts went unanswered. In fact, the student only recently responded to our communications and only then were any health concerns brought up in regards to withdrawing from the courses.

Our office is open 7 days a week, Monday to Friday from 8am to 8pm and Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 5pm, during which time phone calls and messages are always answered and responded to.

While we understand that personal and medical circumstances can affect a student’s ability to complete a course, OVS can only provide support if the student actively communicates with us about concerns.

Regarding the refund request, all students agree to the school’s published refund policies upon registration. These policies are clearly communicated and applied consistently to all students. While it is unfortunate that the college cancelled the program and the student is no longer in need of the courses she purchased, it does not change the fact that the OVS courses were made available and the educational services that were purchased were provided to the student.

We take concerns about our courses seriously. However, stating that OVS is a “scam” is not accurate. The courses purchased were delivered, support and communication were available throughout the course, the student did complete course work, and the student accepted the terms and policies associated with enrollment.

If you would like to discuss any concerns directly, please contact our office.

I took families in Canada (HHS4U) with ovs and it was an amazing experience as the lessons were very detailed and easy to understand and the teacher responds to questions really fast 1-2 days max. All assignments were also marked really fast too I usually got my marks back for all assignments the next day. I highly recommend ovs if you are looking for a credit as it is very helpful.
