At Eletech Global Ontario School (EGOS), we believe that education should emphasize consistency and continuous learning. Our unique grading model, which consists of 70% coursework and 30% final evaluation, is designed to reward students for their hard work throughout the entire school year. Unlike traditional systems that place too much emphasis on a single high-stakes exam, our approach ensures that every step of the learning journey contributes to a student’s final grade.

The Benefits of Continuous Assessment
The 70/30 grading model aligns closely with the principles of continuous assessment, a method that integrates regular evaluations into the overall grade. This structure provides students with numerous opportunities to demonstrate their understanding and mastery of the subject matter. Here are some important benefits:
- Encourages regular study habits and engagement with the material.
- Reduces stress associated with the pressure of a single exam.
- Accommodates different learning styles, allowing students to showcase their knowledge in various formats.
- Supports regular feedback, enabling students to improve based on ongoing assessments.
By balancing course work with a final evaluation, we aim to make learning a more positive and less intimidating experience for our students at EGOS.
Flexibility and Accessibility
One of the standout features of studying at EGOS is that there are no traditional semesters or waitlists. Students can start any day of the year, allowing flexibility to learn at their own pace. This means that if students need extra time or extra resources to grasp complex topics, they won’t be penalized in their grades. They can focus on truly understanding the material instead of racing against the clock.
Furthermore, all courses are offered completely online, enabling students to learn from the comfort of their homes while still receiving full support from Ontario Certified Teachers (OCT). The structure of the coursework, lasting up to 12 months, means every student has time to put in their best effort without feeling rushed.
Preparing for Future Success
Earning an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) through our grading system not only cultivates good study habits but also prepares students for the expectations of post-secondary education. In Ontario, universities review grades based on a percentage scale, which is exactly how our Grade 12 credits are assessed. This continuity ensures that students transitioning to university are well equipped for future academic challenges and meet university English language expectations.
EGOS also supports international students by offering PLAR (Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition), which converts previous educational experience into OSSD credits. This flexibility enables a transition that is fair, equitable, and encourages all students, regardless of their background, to succeed.
