How Full-Time Works

Inside a full-time week

  • Classes of about ten

    About ten students to a teacher, so a question gets answered while it's fresh and a gap is closed before it widens.

  • A full school day

    Four periods, a lunch break, and free after-school help. Semester one runs September to January, semester two February to June.

  • In person, live virtual, or both

    Attend at our Woodbridge campus or join the same live classes from home, and switch on the days you need to.

  • Guidance toward university

    Our counsellors help with OUAC, OCAS, and international applications. 100% of our applicants have been admitted to university.

Beyond the core curriculum, students can add STEM, Business and Technology, Advanced Placement, or Cambridge International exam preparation.

What Your Child Will Study

A few senior courses

Full-time students take the complete Ontario curriculum for their grade. These are some of the university-preparation courses they take in their final years.

See courses by grade

  • A student writing in a notebook by a sunlit classroom window
    ENG4U

    English (University)

    Grade 121 Credit

    This course emphasizes the consolidation of the literacy, communication, and critical and creative thinking skills necessary for success in academic and daily life. Students will analyse a range of challenging literary texts from various periods, countries, and cultures; interpret and evaluate informational and graphic texts; and create oral, written, and media texts in a variety of forms. An important focus will be on using academic language coherently and confidently, selecting the reading strategies best suited to particular texts and particular purposes for reading, and developing greater control in writing. The course is intended to prepare students for university, college, or the workplace.

    MCV4U

    Calculus and Vectors

    Grade 121 Credit

    This course builds on students’ previous experience with functions and their developing understanding of rates of change. Students will solve problems involving geometric and algebraic representations of vectors and representations of lines and planes in threedimensional space; broaden their understanding of rates of change to include the derivatives of polynomial, sinusoidal, exponential, rational, and radical functions; and apply these concepts and skills to the modelling of real-world relationships. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. This course is intended for students who choose to pursue careers in fields such as science, engineering, economics, and some areas of business, including those students who will be required to take a university-level calculus, linear algebra, or physics course. Note: The new Advanced Functions course (MHF4U) must be taken prior to or concurrently with Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U).

    SBI4U

    Biology

    Grade 121 Credit

    This course provides students with the opportunity for in-depth study of the concepts and processes that occur in biological systems. Students will study theory and conduct investigations in the areas of biochemistry, metabolic processes, molecular genetics, homeostasis, and population dynamics. Emphasis will be placed on the achievement of detailed knowledge and the refinement of skills needed for further study in various branches of the life sciences and related fields.

    MHF4U

    Advanced Functions

    Grade 121 Credit

    This course extends students’ experience with functions. Students will investigate the properties of polynomial, rational, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions; develop techniques for combining functions; broaden their understanding of rates of change; and develop facility in applying these concepts and skills. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. This course is intended both for students taking the Calculus and Vectors course as a prerequisite for a university program and for those wishing to consolidate their understanding of mathematics before proceeding to any one of a variety of university programs.

As a student, you want a place that values education over financial gain, and that's exactly what Vaughan College provides. I was never once encouraged to leave after my tutoring sessions, even if I needed more help.
