Her experience also includes being the principal of 2 flagship secondary schools, Earl Haig Secondary School and AY Jackson Secondary School with the Toronto District School Board, Supervising Principals of Community Development and International Languages, Director and Principal of AYJGlobal Programs. Working as a principal coach for the Ontario Principal’s Council, Beverley Ohashi supported principals in Ontario School Boards to change teaching practices and improve student learning.

As an educational leader, she endorses a collaborative learning model to achieve student success, equity, accountability, and global understanding that reinforce networking, partnerships, and continuous learning. Student engagement occurs when students desire to learn and develop a curiosity for learning.

The Learning Partnership, dedicated to championing a strong public education system in Canada has recognized her as a 2010 recipient of Canada’s Outstanding Principals Award. In 2015, the Canadian Multicultural Council – Asians in Ontario recognized her exemplary contributions in education.

LAUREATE STAFF

The success of any school is determined by the staff that are committed to giving the continuous support and believing that all students can succeed. The staff provides a caring learning environment and a challenging curriculum to prepare students to achieve success not only at Laureate but in their educational pathways in post-secondary institutions. All Laureate staff are highly educated with university degrees and experience in working with people. They take the time to listen, understand, and provide support whenever it is needed for students to learn. Creating a respectful, kind, and positive learning environment does give students the best circumstances to do their best. Counselling is always available for the students to discuss what their personal needs are and how they can reach their academic goals. The teachers take the time to get to know the students in the classroom as well as giving opportunity for experiential learning.

Staff participate in regular professional development so that they can find ways to work in professional learning teams; collaborate on using evidence-based instructional strategies and effective feedback. Bring student engagement in the classroom will motivate students to improve their learning and obtain higher grades.

STUDENTS OF LAUREATE

Laureate students understand their successes can be achieved if they believe they can succeed. Having a positive attitude for learning, a desire to work hard and complete their work, participating in group discussions, and attending all classes will be what are required for getting grades they need to be accepted into a college or university.

It takes more than gaining knowledge. Information is readily available through the teachers, internet, and other resources. However, a student of the 21st century must learn how to use this information, what is critical, and develop critical and analytical thinking skills to become engaged life-long learners.

Laureate is a safe, nurturing, respectful, and positive learning environment that supports students to succeed to their full potential. It is essential that students show respect to each other, the staff, and also the property. A Code of Conduct, dress code expectations, attendance, and punctuality policies are provided in the student handbook.

Education is an investment. Students must decide how much time, energy, and desire they will make to get the best education that is offered to them.

Personal service is always available to a Laureate student to help them in choosing courses, airport pickup, homestay arrangements, counselling, and other local supports. When students come to a foreign country, there are many circumstances where they will have to adjust to a new culture and lifestyle.

The transition will be smooth and supportive as long as the students let the staff know what is going on and how we can help them.

• Airport Pick-up

• Counselling

• Custodianship

• Health Insurance

• Homestay

• Laureate Fraternity Fellowship

• Newcomer Orientation

Eg. banking, public transportation

• Scholarships

• Study Permit

• University Placement Tutorials

HOMESTAY Laureate assists each of our international students in searching for a suitable homestay that meets his/her individual needs. The homestays that we select and recommend to our students

are near the school. Besides offering food and accommodation, these homestays can also provide pick up at the airport on students’ arrival, laundry, arranging activities on the weekends and holidays. Laureate will visit the homestays frequently and work with the homestays on a continuous basis to support the students. The majority of our homestays are English-Speaking Canadian families who are happy to share the Ca nadian culture with the students.

COUNSELLINGIt is important that students receive counselling to make sure they are focused and on track to completing their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). Their academic plan will be reviewed and selection of courses will be determined based on their post-secondary plans.Also counselling is available for advice, support, and adjusting to a new culture.

UNIVERSITY PLACEMENT TUTORIALSLIC provides guidance in the selection and preparation for admissions to colleges and universities for all students. However, this tutorial is set up for students who may be applying for special programs that require portfolios, written essays, or interviews.

AWARDS AND SCHOLARSHIPSAt the end of each school year, awards and scholarships are given to Laureate students for their achievements and their hard work. These recognitions are important for students to strive for to gain more abilities and to strengthen their application to post-secondary institutions.

Our servicesLAUREATE FRATERNITY FELLOWSHIP

Students develop friendships and opportunities to network with other peers through the Fraternity Fellowship. Activities and excursions are planned as well as speakers who can discuss topics on careers, health, and social issues.

CUSTODIANSHIPThe Canadian law stipulates that students under 18 years of age must have a legal guardian in Canada. The role of the guardian is equivalent to being a “parent” when a student is studying abroad. The student can contact the guardian with any questions they need help in their studies or adjusting to the Canadian lifestyle and customs.

The guardian is required to complete the custodianship documents available on the Canadian Immigration and Citizenship website and must have these forms notarized. These documents are to be submitted to Laureate for us to contact the guardian if needed.

If a student does not have a legal guardian, the parents can submit a request to Laureate to provide custodianship.

“We believe that communication, attention and integration are the key ingredients of a successful homestay.”

AIRPORT PICK UP Laureate can arrange special pick up at the Toronto International Airport upon the arrival of a student. Our driver will be able to contact the school if the student requires immedi-ate assistance at Customs.

NEWCOMER ORIENTATION Our staff will show each newcomer how to take the public transit to travel from homestay to the school. We will also help him/her to apply for a public transit identity card, library card, new cell phone and to open a bank account for the student.

HEALTH INSURANCE Every international student should acquire private health insurance. Our staff will assist stu dents in applying for the insurance and explain to them the procedures in visiting doctors or hospital and submitting claims.

STUDY PERMIT Laureate is partnered with Kingsway Immigration Services that can assist students in applying for Study VISA status in Canada. Kingsway has been providing this service for more than 10 years.

REVIEWS

Dr. Allyson Eamer, Faculty of Education University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT)

“I have been associated with Laureate International College as Leader of the ESL Curriculum Writing Team. Director Bev Ohashi cares deeply about providing quality education, and has pulled together a terrific writing team that includes experienced ESL teachers with expertise in technology, assessment, university entrance English exams and more. Under her direction, we have written curriculum that uses highly innovative 21st century pedagogy to meet Ministry of Education learning expectations and goals. We are immensely proud of the curriculum and are confident that it is unsurpassed in quality.”

Karen Jackson Ontario Principals’ Council Principal Coach, Student Success School Support Initiative

“Laureate Supervising Principal Bev Ohashi is an exemplary educator and school leader. Beverley Ohashi has been nationally recognized for excellence in education, receiving Canada’s Outstanding Principal Award. Laureate hires outstanding teachers, delivers rigorous Ontario curriculum and challenges students to be the best they can be. Laureate successfully prepares its students for post-secondary studies at university and college.”

Dr. Jim Watt Retired Superintendent

“As a superintendent in the Toronto District School Board, I was privileged to work with Bev Ohashi when she was an administrator in my Family of Schools. Bev is an experienced, knowledgeable and dedicated educator. Her impeccable integrity and

professional commitment to excellence sets the standard in everything that she undertakes.”

STUDENTS SAY …

Maverick, York University

“One of my biggest takeaways from Laureate is to adopt a positive attitude toward studying and going to school. Teachers and students are so passionate about their work that they motivate me to do better. In comparison to public school in China, Laureate offers small class size that allows teachers to give attention to every student. For example, my English teacher often employs interactive activities such as debate and class blog to encourage students to participate. It’s easy to reach out to teachers and alumni if I have any question about universities. I believe my experience here has prepared me for going to university next year both mentally and academically”

Andy, University of Ontario Institute of Technology

“My English improved a lot after coming to Laureate! My improvement is most likely a result of the help I received from my teachers. My English teacher is very funny and she makes classes entertaining and easy to understand. Other teachers are also patient and ap proachable when I have any question. Even on weekends, I can always ask them ques tions via email or WeChat (Yes! We taught them how to use it).”

Exploring Toronto and experiencing Canadian culture


Zoey

“Teachers care about each student (absences, punctuality and so on) and graduates have the chance to talk to principals about their applications to universities/ colleges.”

Sophia, University of Toronto

“I love the sense of community of Laureate. Everyone is so close to each other; we go to class together; sit side by side for lunch, and then work on group projects after school. We had field trips to Wonderland, Teen Camp, and Royal Ontario Museum together Laureate makes Canada feel like home to me sometimes, and students and teachers are my fam ily members. I also really liked my business classes. I have learnt a lot about pricing, adver tising strategies, and international trade, and these experiences will definitely help me on pursuing my career in the future. I will miss Laureate so much next year!”

Yan

“The school is great because people are nice, the environment is wonderful and they use all new technology.”

Daniel, University of Ontario Institute of Technology “Laureate is amazing because I made so many lifelong friends and learnt new things everyday. Not only I had great lectures from teachers, I also contributed to interesting projects that allow me to be creative and collaborative. This year, I made a short film with 3 other classmates about Canadian students’ lives and showed it to the entire school. I love exploring new skills and subject that I don’t usually learn from the textbook, and am very grateful that teachers and students in Laureate helped me to do so. “

J.M., Parent

“For personal reasons, my son completed his 12th grade from outside of Canada. When my son returned to Canada, illogical admissions criteria disappointed us. My son is a Canadian citizen who faced hardship but Laureate International College helped my son get admission into a college in Toronto. I appreciate the professional efforts made by Laureate. My decision to enroll with Laureate was justified.”

Tomomi

“This was my first time to go to North America. It was very difficult to get used to it at first. But as soon as I went to school, I found a lot of interesting things that I could learn there. For example, the way of teaching English is different from my home country that felt very fresh. All the students and teachers are very friendly. To be honest, I’m not good at speaking to other people. However, the positive and friendly atmosphere at Laureate made it easy for me to develop the confidence in relating to others. It was a big change.”
