Comprehensive IELTS/TOEFL English Training

Learning and excelling in English is essential to making Canada your new home. Our dedicated support staff will assist all international students with preparation for their IELTS/TOEFL exams.

English as a Second Language Courses (ESL)

Being able to embrace Canadian life requires a firm grip on the English language. We assist every student with our ESL programs to give them the tools they need to master English.

English for Academic Purposes (EAP)

Academic vocabulary differs in several important ways from everyday conversational English. We help our international students get familiarized with the language through our comprehensive EAP courses.

OSSLT Training

The Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test is an essential requirement for students in Ontario, which determines whether they meet the minimum standard for literacy across all subjects. We help our international students prepare for this test with dedicated support.

Following graduation, many of our international students will want to further their education at university. We help our students prepare for university admission with dedicated preparation support.

Onsite Security

We take the security of our students very seriously. That’s why we have dedicated onsite security to protect our students and ensure a safe and supportive environment.

Moving to a new country as an international student can be daunting. We ensure all of our students have real-time communication access to their parents and host families for emotional support.

Assistance in Dealing with Medical Insurance

Having access to comprehensive medical insurance while in a foreign country is crucial to ensuring a safe international student experience. We assist our students with navigating the sometimes confusing channels for medical insurance.

Counseling and Mental Health Concerns

The mental and emotional health of our international students is a top priority for Cestar Highschool. We offer comprehensive counseling and mental health support to every student whenever they need it.

Once you have arrived in Canada, Cestar Highschool hosts a detailed new arrival orientation to help get your bearings around the local area and know where to find everything you need.

Cultural Adjustment Counseling

The switch from the culture in your home country to Canada’s has the potential to be disorientating. Our dedicated support staff help each of our international students acclimate to the local culture with one on one counseling sessions.

Full Counseling on Living in Canada

We provide complete support to all of our international students to assist them in adjusting to life in Canada. Full counseling is available whenever necessary.

Bank Account Set-up

Setting up access to money and proper banking is vital to life in Canada. We assist all of our international students with gaining access to their funds once they arrive in Canada.

Toronto Library Card Application

Getting a Toronto Library Card is one of the best free resources for international students studying in Canada. We help all students fill out and submit their card applications.

Toronto Transit Card Application

The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is the main way many international students get around the city. We help every student apply and set up their TTC accounts for easy transit.

Regular Invitations for Participation in Group Activities

Making new friends and socializing is an important way you can settle into your new life. We send out regular invitations to our international students to participate in a range of fun group activities.

Testimonials

“Overall I think that the tutoring in chemistry has helped help me grasp new concepts, provided me with enough practice, and made clear of questions that I’ve had throughout the chemistry course. I feel that I am much better prepared for the upcoming school year.”

Ben Yang

Student

“All the classes I had with my teacher (Ms. Sangeeta) were really perfect. The teacher was very kind to me and kept telling me what I didn’t understand. And for me in Korea, my teacher started class at 6 o’clock, which is very early in Canadian time. I am very grateful for it. Science and mathematics were very difficult subjects for me, but thanks to the teacher, I was able to take the final exam without much difficulty. And my school makes a lot of effort for the students. Always try to make sure that students get better grades and don’t feel difficult. I like this school very much.”

Stella Jang

“This class was my first Canadian class. Thanks to your kind explanation and guidance, I was able to adapt well to the Canadian class. I’m satisfied with my grades and stay healthy. Thank you so much for everything.”

Great private high school in Toronto. The location is in a good part of town, more North York area than Toronto but it’s right off the highway so it’s not hard to get to. Right near Fairview mall. The staff there is very nice and they were very helpful in answering all of my questions. They offer a lot for their students not only in terms of education but helpful after school activities and off campus trips, like going to Blue Mountain during the winter time. Overall, great choice. Right near the college as well. They also offer good tuition, not like some other schools in Toronto. Would recommend!
