Our teachers have the Ontario certified qualifications, and/or master’s and doctoral degrees. They have rich experience in teaching international students, understand their learning methods, learning habits and learning capabilities, so as to be more in line with the learning needs of international students and fully mobilize students’ potential in order to achieve the best learning results. Bond teachers, whether they are new recruits or those who have been teaching at Bond for nearly 20 years, are dedicated to their work and caring for students, and are highly respected.

Bond International College implements a small class teaching system. The average class size is between 10-15 students, and the smallest class is only 6 students.

  1. Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), which includes 6 grade 12 courses with a code of 4U / M, all of which meet the program admission requirements of each university
  2. Language requirements as set by the university (IELTS, TOEFL and other English language proficiency test scores)
  3. Supplementary application materials (eg: submission of art works, application documents, interviews, etc.) to meet nonacademic requirements of each major
  4.  

The time suitable for children to study abroad varies from person to person, and there is no such thing as the best time or age. In our opinion, usually children who have the following characters can consider studying abroad.

1) Solid academic foundation and learning ability

2) Good English language skills

3) Clear university and life goals

4) Independent and self-discipline

In addition, if conditions permit, Grade 11 will be a better time to study abroad, one is because the students in Grade 11 are relatively mature in all aspects; the other is because starting from Grade 11, there are two years to adapt to study and life in Canada so they can prepare for university more calmly; third, because the marks they achieve in Grade 11 are accepted by more and more universities, especially as an important reference for early admission. Good performance in Grade 11 increase the chance of being admitted to top universities.
