加拿大私立中学历史悠久,严格遵循培养精英人才的教学传统与理念,同学大多来自加拿大当地的优等或上层家庭,在这里,学生置身于传统西方文化氛围,更易融入主流社会。教学质量优越,升学率接近100%,且多数毕业生入读了北美著名大学,最后成为政治家、企业家、科学家、艺术家,律师等社会精英。贵族中学在加拿大拥有极高的声誉和地位,费用较高,要求严格,且对国际学生学生人数有限定,申请通常并不容易。
All private schools must be
registered with the Ministry of Education in their province or territory and
must meet the curriculum and other standards set by their respective
ministries.
Families can choose schools that
are boys-only, girls-only or co-educational. Some private schools offer full
boarding programs, others are day schools and many offer both.
Many private schools adhere to a
particular religious faith, emphasize particular moral teachings and apply
rigorous academic standards.
