Fast track your way to University. 

Established in 2015,  NSAL Collégial is proud to announce its expansion to a new location! With eight years of dedication to excellence, our program has consistently served as a stepping stone for students on their journey to higher education.

Grade 12 Pre University 7 1

North Star Academy Laval welcomes all students, local to global, who want to experience a high quality Canadian Education.

OUR GRADE 12 PROGRAM is an opportunity to acquire a Canadian high school diploma as you prepare to apply to some of the best colleges or universities situated right here, in Montreal, or anywhere around the world. Offering a wide range of course selections to suit each student’s interests and goals, NSAL Collégial has five distinct academic pathways. Whether you're passionate about business, science, engineering, or social sciences, we have a program that suits your needs. 

Unique Approach

NSAL Collégial offers a dynamic blended learning strategy of in class instruction and asynchronous online learning, that delivers an advantageous educational experience. Our students benefit from daily courses taught  by our dedicated NSAL teachers, supplemented by virtual collaboration with esteemed Canadian experts in their respective fields. Furthermore, our Grade 12 coordinator provides one-on-one support, pacing guides, as well as academic advising. 

The pre-university journey is a pivotal phase in a student’s life. It's a time when they yearn for independence and autonomy, yet simultaneously require a strong support system from their professors and mentors.

Our experienced faculty ensure all students set attainable goals and practices to ensure a smooth transition to university.

Credits

30 Credits throughout grade 9 to 12 are required to receive an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). Prior credits must be submitted and will be calculated for you. Your academic advisor assigned to you will ensure you are on your way to success!

Community Service Involvement

The purpose of the community involvement requirement is to encourage students to develop awareness and understanding of civic responsibility, the role they can play and the contributions they can make in supporting and strengthening their communities.

From registering students for the OSSLT to prepping them for success through practice and tutorials, North Star Academy’s qualified faculty will guide and support you through this process.
