HOW TO PLAN WITH SEGIOA

Nowadays it is possible to attend High School (American or Canadian system) in several schools in Brazil, however the system offered is extremely rigid, time-consuming and expensive.

We are bringing a solution that will serve the majority of schools in Brazil that have students with knowledge of English. (Language schools, private schools, courses and universities)

Our proposal is not to present the entire Canadian curriculum in a compact and rigid way.

We will offer students the subjects individually, the subjects necessary for the student to develop language skills; increase vocabulary and at the same time give him certification for completed material.

The possibility for the student to complete certification by subject is very important, as this way they will feel encouraged for having achieved a goal. This way he will be ready to do a second subject (or credit) on the platform.

Think about the marketing impact your school could have by offering the Canadian curriculum?

We have more than 160 different credits at your disposal.

We are looking for partners in Brazil to develop this project, which is already used annually by more than 20,000 students in Canada and around the world.

The online Canadian high school graduation certificate was developed by OVS - Ontario Virtual School, which is the largest private school in Canada.  This school is register by the Minister of Education in Ontario. The best Education in Canada is from Ontario. Offering the “Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD)”.

The objective of this online certification (EaD) is to give students another option regardless of date and time and can be done at the pace and speed that the student needs or feels comfortable.

The student will be able to develop their autonomy and self-discipline to achieve the course goals, whatever they deem most appropriate.

Canada is currently the largest destination for students in Brazil. The country has also adopted a constant immigration policy facilitating the entry of new residents who meet some of the basic acceptance criteria, the most important of which are:
• Fluency in an official language
• Have completed a local college.

Each year, Canada issues 350,000 residence visas to immigration candidates based on the factors mentioned above, so students who complete college in Canada have the possibility of remaining resident.

Study costs are also 60% lower than costs in similar countries such as the United States and England.

Therefore, when taking a higher education course in Canada, the student will be able to formally work, and obtain permanent residence if they wish.

Canada currently has more than 500,000 international students enrolled and offers 600 higher education options, making it one of the most renowned destinations for students from all over the world.

Canada is also known as one of the most tolerant countries, being home to diverse cultures, ethnic and religious groups. Canadian cities are also known for their quality of life and very low unemployment.

Why Canada?
Ontario Education System

Ontario is one of the richest and most populous provinces in all of Canada. The Ontario public system is known worldwide for having a great education system and teachers.

People in Ontario boast the highest average salaries in the world, thus attracting the best professionals in the sector.

Colleges, therefore, can mean: College, technical school, Technologist. It depends on the duration of the College and the focus of study.

In Canada, it is common for students to study at a college or university and then complete the theoretical or practical part at the other institution, combining the two institutions.

Difference between "Public Colleges" and "Private Colleges".

Brazilian students are constantly confused. Public colleges are not free colleges, they are colleges under the jurisdiction of the public system. Therefore, from a credibility point of view, public colleges are better evaluated, but they are paid. There are no free Colleges or Universities in Canada.

In Canada, High School (or secondary education certification "OSSD) is completed over a period of 4 years and during this period the student must present grades in 30 credits or subjects (some mandatory), proof of voluntary work, and exams of linguistic knowledge.

These 30 credits are taken over 4 years (Grade 9, Grade 10, Grade 11 and Grade12)

However, to assess acceptance into higher education courses, the analysis is carried out based on last year's grades or "Grade 12", in which case 6 "Grade 12" credits are required. (some credits are mandatory)

Credits can also be divided into categories: University or College (therefore, there is a difference in the subject requirements for each credit as well as in the final grade)

To make it clear: Each credit = one subject.

Courses

Canadian High School Certificate General Explanation
College X University

In general language in the concept of American English, the word College and University represent the same thing, but in fact there is a difference between the meanings:

Universities are larger institutions focused on theoretical study", a university is made up of "colleges". Courses generally last 4 years.

Colleges in general are smaller institutions focused on "applied science" (where you will actually study the applicability during your study). College has a more results-focused objective. There are 1, 2, 3 or 4 year courses. Offering more options to students.

Colleges, therefore, can mean: College, technical school, Technologist. It depends on the duration of the College and the focus of study.

In Canada, it is common for students to study at a college or university and then complete the theoretical or practical part at the other institution, combining the two institutions.

This online study system is aimed at all students who do not have access to the conventional school system, therefore it is perfect for students who choose to study at home (homeschooling), who live in more remote areas or students who are in the foreigner.

It is very common to be used by students who want to increase their grades in the same subject or take extra subjects that are not offered at school to improve their curriculum.

It is presented in English, therefore it is aimed at students with advanced secondary and advanced levels of the language.

Before acquiring credits on our platform, students must take an English assessment as well as a curricular assessment (PLAR - Prior Learning Assessment Recognition).

Who is Distance Learning (EaD) for?
Distance Study Platform

From the moment the platform is accessed by students, they will have a study schedule divided into 10 chapters. Each stage involves an explanation of the subject in PDF, support materials, and the student is encouraged to search for more information on the internet and a series of exercises to be sent to teachers.

At the end of the study and exercise phase, the student presents a work and then takes an exam on the chapter in question.

Study support is provided by teachers in Canada who may be online or accessed via message.

Local support on how to present your projects and how to use the platform to resolve doubts is provided by the facilitator in Brazil.

The system has many advantages, let's talk about Brazilian students in particular.

It can be used as an extension of the English course, as it is focused on the student's subject of interest and everything is done in English, giving the student access to specific vocabulary in the area of ​​study.

It can start and end at any time.

The student can use their own computer at home to follow the program.

Ideal for students aged 14 and over, with no age limit.

The student can take one credit at a time.

When the student obtains credit they are registered in the education system in the Province of Ontario.

English credit (English University Grade 12) is equivalent to the best English language certification diplomas, giving access to universities. Credits can be taken in Brazil during the student's school period or when the student is at a course or university.

It can be used as a gateway to the Canadian higher education system, and is also accepted in all first world countries.

Reduced cost, as the student does not need to be in Canada to take the credit.

There are more than 160 credit options available for students to choose from.

What are the Advantages?
How long does it take to make each credit?

The speed of study will depend on each student, dedication and desire to achieve a goal.

There is no study schedule for the student. We recommend that the student spends 2 times a week together with the "Facilitator" at school (in person) and another 1 hour a day independently. At this rate he will obtain 1 credit in 3 months. Each credit is divided into classes, complementary exercises and test. Therefore, student interest in achieving goals is vital to success.

The course's final assessment test will be carried out in Brazil in person and will be carried out by a Canadian representative who will come exclusively to monitor the course. In due course, we wil announce 3 annual dates for taking the final test for each credit, as well as the location for the test. The test can be taken up to a distance of 200km from the headquarters of the school affiliated with the program. The physical presence of the student on the day of the final exam is mandatory.

Final grades will be issued in Canada directly on the educational platform.

Final Course Assessment
What are the Procedures for Buying Credits?

After the student is interested in participating in the platform, the student needs to carry out a general analysis of its framework. This analysis is called PLAR, which is nothing more than an analysis of prior knowledge of English and an analysis of academic records (a fee is charged to carry out this initial" PLAR" assessment ).

1. Check if he is attending high school in Brazil or has already completed it. (presentation of certificates with sworn translation)
2. Take the English level assessment for acceptance into the program (online test on our platform).
3. Interview to analyze the student's objectives from an academic point of view, clearly understand the objectives so that the student does not purchase unnecessary credits.
4. Analyze whether the credits he wants to buy have academic prerequisites or not.
5. Create a goal schematic for the student

There are 3 costs:
1. Initial Assessment (PLAR) - Paid via bank slip, remittance or international credit card.
2. Purchase of credit: Paid via bank slip, remittance or international credit card.
3. Local Support: Paid directly at the associated school. (Partner Schools).

International payments are made in Canadian dollars.

Access to the student's password will only be made after payment confirmation, the credit will be non-transferable to another student.

The school will have the freedom to charge each student the price it deems most appropriate, being allowed to pay in installments if it so wishes (local part).
