What are some canadian schools like full sail?
Are you talking about Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida? It's just a high tier trade school, look up any technical schools around Canada and go for them, you can't can't pick a bad one unless it has been nationalized, meaning that you should go for a trade school that has only one specific campus. Also, it's always easier to just do your degree online then go somewhere away from home unless of course you are going to an actual university. EDIT: Again, there is a school in Winter Park, Florida called Full Sail University that has that kind of program. This kind of program is however, is rather pointless and useless because you should seek an actual Business and Management degree from a real University or College. After you do that, you can get an actual job and then focus on taking these trade classes to get familiarized with your specific pursuit in Music. I actually know someone like you and she just went into the program. Full Sail is actually a high end trade school like I said, but I recommend that you attend an actual school and get a normal, broad based degree before you look into stuff like that. From there, it might be best to just Google the different schools they have available. But first thing's first. Get a degree you can fall back on, a degree that can land you a normal Management or Business position with a firm or maybe you can use it to help you get into a record company, just save that for last. In the end, it's better to do both as the program at Full Sail University goes as far as to actually place their students in actual positions for localized events like concerts and they can help you bridge the gap into your ideal music business job. But if you have a Music Business degree WITH a General Management/Business degree, you'll get in above all your classmates at both the standard University/College and Trade School levels.
What is schooling in Canada like?
I think it’s pretty standard - similar to what the U.S. offers. This is my perspective as going through the public school system - I don’t know how other school systems work.You can enter Junior Kindergarten once you are 4 years old and then progress to Senior Kindergarten at 5 years of age. Kindergarten is full-day for the schools in my local area in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area).After Senior Kindergarten, you enter Grade 1. And then Grade 2, Grade 3…. Until the end of Grade 5 after which you enter Middle School. Normal school subjects in Grade 1 include math, reading, writing, social studies - and classes such as music, drama, painting and gym! In Ontario, French is taught as a second language beginning in Grade 4.Middle School is from Grade 6 to Grade 8.After Middle School, you enter High School which is from Grade 9 to Grade 12. For High School, I decided to enrol in the IB program and I absolutely loved my experiences. My other friends decided to enter the AP program which is also available in Canada depending on whether schools in your region offer the program.After Grade 12, you can decide to go to a college or an apprenticeship program or university!
How good are the high schools in Canada?
Excellent, in general. Canadian high school students as a group score 6th in the world on standardized reading, science, and math tests as researched by the PISA tests administered by the OECD. We`re behind Shanghai, Korea, Finland, Hong Kong and Singapore.The US comes in at 17th, behind Estonia, Switzerland, Poland and Iceland. This is more due to the large numbers of students at or below world standards; the top students are of course achieving at the highest world standards, but they are a small percentage.Summary Table (2009)http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/54/...The (much criticized) Fraser Institute has attempted to rank Canadian High Schools based on provincially-administered standardized test scores in math and reading. And of course there are many complaints about their methodology. However one can get a rough idea of the locally good and not-so-good schools by referring to those publications. Most observers and Canadian educators agree that even a poorly-ranked school can still provide an excellent education to motivated students.Fraser Institutehttp://www.compareschoolrankings...
American vs. Canadian High Schools?
My mom and I MIGHT be moving to the US because of her job so I have a few questions... Quite frankly I'm excited to do so because all the Canadian Universities are awful and I plan on moving to the US when I graduate. Oh and I think the school overall will be more interesting since my current one is the dullest place on Earth... Anywho... I was just wondering if the school system is harder or easier; I have maintained an above ninty average so far and I need to continue that streak if I want to be accepted into the universities I am striving towards (Ivy Legue). Oh and will I be in the same grade? I have a late birthday so for the most part I am always younger than my peers and I have some friends who are American and they are a year older than everyone else for they apparently started school later.... And are there any requirements? Here in Canada you have to have a certain number of courses (in America do they follow a course system) to graduate, pass a literacy exam in grade ten, and have at least forty volunteer hours (I have more than a hundred so it would be a shame for it to go to waste). Do have to take certain courses or do you get to choose based on your future career. Are American schools more interesting... And will I be out at a disadvantage on some subjects such as politics, history, geography, etc? Just wondering because I don't know whether to support this thought or oppose it. If you have any other notes you would like to share, that would be appreciated :)
What is the elementary school hours in Canada?
It’s different everywhere. Generally 8:30 or 9:00 to 3:00 or 3:30, but that can vary depending on Catholic, public or private school systems, the school district and the grade level. Kindergarten is usually a morning thing, but some provinces have all day kindergarten now.
What is secondary school in Canada? Is it middle school or high school?
In my hometown in Ontario, "secondary school" was high school, from grades 9-12. There were some smaller, older elementary schools (built in the early 1900's) which only contained up to grade 5, and other elementary schools which contained up to grade 8. It was only common in the older, central parts of the city and these schools would close and consolidate into larger schools with more facilities, as the original buildings proved too old and expensive to maintain.
In Canada, How do these fakes schools, like CDI College, Sprott Shaw, V.C.C. allowed to operate?
I'm wondering how these schools are allowed to operate at all. They are obviously fake "colleges/Universities", the quality of education you get is extremely low, the school Campuses don't even look real, they are 3 times the amount of a real University like UBC or Simon Fraser, and worst of all Employers don't recognize these schools. They take one look at your resume, laught at you, and throw it in the garbage the minute you walk out the door. So why hasn't the Government put a stop to it??? They are Con-artists, plain & simple. Also, just to check, are all these schools fraudelent? -Sprott Shaw -University of CanadaWest -CDI College -Vancouver Career College I just want to confirm.
Dumb question, but is high school in canada just like the usa? or is degrassi americanized?
I'm Canadian, I go to a Canadian high school which is grade 10 to grade 12 some high school are four years though like in the States. Yes teenagers are teenagers anywhere you go, there is drinking, drugs, teenage pregnancy, fights, and stuff but Degrassi is the the most extreme of the extreme. Normally we're just kids who like to have fun and party a bit but we don't get overly crazy. Of course I go to a small school, but in huge schools like in Toronto it's probably multiplied. Also I'm not completely sure about this, but in Canada there are more human rights like gay marriage nationally so people might be a little more accepting, but this I'm not sure about. And Canadian schools normally don't have football teams, where I come from there's soccer, basketball, golf, track and field, volley ball, rugby, and softball. Also we almost all play hockey here, but I can't speak for all of Canada. Fun Fact, Schools in Quebec only have 11 grades, they go first to sixth year then secondary one to five. But when they graduate they have to go to college then university if they want to be something like a doctor or teacher, but if they want to be a carpenter or plumber only college.
