Benefits for Students

There are numerous benefits to enrolling in the Canadian Pre-University Program (CPU) at Academy:

Recognized Canadian Curriculum

The program is based on the Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum and fully aligned with the academic standards and learning outcomes set by the Ministry of Education, Canada.

World-Renowned Qualification

Upon completion, students receive the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) — a globally recognized qualification that meets admission requirements for universities worldwide.

Early University Access

Students who enroll in the CPU Program after completing Grade 10 in their home country can shorten their pathway to university admission, saving both time and cost.

Global Opportunities

Graduates of the CPU Program, equipped with their OSSD, can apply to Canadian universities or to institutions in the U.S., U.K., Australia, and many other countries.

Personalized Guidance and Support

Our academic and career counselors work closely with each student to design a personalized education and career plan, ensuring they are fully prepared for success at the university level.

Application Eligibility Criteria

Our high school program covers Grades 9–12. International students in Grades 8–12, aged 13–18, are eligible to apply for the high school OSSD program. Mature students aged 19–22 who have completed their high school education in their home country can apply for our university preparation program (Grade 12).

Application Procedure

Step 1: Apply for Admission

Submit the following materials via email to info@hallmarkacademy.ca

  • The Admission Application Form along with an application fee
  • Academic transcripts from the last three years (with English translation and official school seal)
  • Proof of English proficiency (optional) such as an IELTS or TOEFL report
Step 2: Conditional Offer

If the applicant meets the school’s admission requirements, a Conditional Offer, tuition and fee invoice, and a list of additional required documents will be sent via email.

Step 3: Tuition Payment and Official Letter of Acceptance

Upon payment of the tuition fee, the applicant will receive the Official Letter of Acceptance, payment receipt, and guardian documents (for students under 18). These documents are essential for the student visa application on campus registration upon arrival.

Once these documents are received, the school will issue a full refund of the tuition fee, deducting only the application fee.
