FROM BATHINDA TO GLOBAL UNIVERSITIES
Bhoj Raj Lajwanti Jain Public High School & Victoria Academy, Ontario, Canada
A Canadian High School OSSD Pathway Alongside Regular Indian School Education
Bhoj Raj Lajwanti Jain Public High School
Bhoj Raj Colony, Nachattar Nagar
Mansa Road, Bathinda, Punjab 151001, India
In Collaboration With
Victoria Academy, A Canadian International School
Ontario, Canada | Grades 9–12
BSID #884963
PUNJAB ROOTS. CANADIAN EDUCATION. GLOBAL AMBITIONS.
Punjab has a long-standing connection with international education.
For many families in Bathinda and across Punjab, higher education abroad is already part of future planning.
Students may eventually consider Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States, Europe, the UAE or other international destinations.
Traditionally, however, students begin preparing seriously for international education only after completing Class 12.
The collaboration between Bhoj Raj Lajwanti Jain Public High School, Bathinda and Victoria Academy, Ontario, Canada creates another possibility.
Eligible students in Grades 9–12 can begin developing a Canadian high school pathway while continuing their regular Indian school education.
The idea is simple:
CONTINUE YOUR SCHOOL IN BATHINDA.
CONTINUE YOUR INDIAN EDUCATION.
ADD A CANADIAN HIGH SCHOOL PATHWAY.
PREPARE EARLIER FOR GLOBAL UNIVERSITIES.
WHY WAIT UNTIL AFTER CLASS 12 TO PREPARE FOR STUDY ABROAD?
For many Punjab families, studying abroad may already be part of the student's long-term plan.
But international education involves much more than choosing a country and applying for a visa.
Students may eventually need to understand:
University prerequisites
International academic expectations
English academic communication
Research
Assignments
Projects
Presentations
Independent study
Continuous assessment
Application deadlines
Scholarship opportunities
and career-focused subject planning.
Beginning this preparation earlier can help students understand the international academic environment before they eventually move abroad.
Through this collaboration, eligible students can begin experiencing Canadian-style learning while still studying in Bathinda.
PREPARE INTERNATIONALLY BEFORE MOVING INTERNATIONALLY.
ONE STUDENT. TWO EDUCATIONAL PATHWAYS.
Students do not need to leave Bhoj Raj Lajwanti Jain Public High School to begin the Canadian pathway.
They can continue their:
Regular school classes
Indian curriculum
School examinations
Board examination preparation
School activities
Friendships
Family life
At the same time, eligible students may enrol with Victoria Academy, Ontario, Canada and complete Ontario high school courses online.
This creates the opportunity to work toward:
INDIAN SCHOOL EDUCATION
PLUS
ONTARIO SECONDARY SCHOOL DIPLOMA (OSSD)
subject to successful completion of the applicable requirements of each educational system.
The Canadian pathway is designed to complement the student's existing school education — not replace it.
WHAT IS THE OSSD?
Ontario Secondary School Diploma
The Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) is Ontario's high school graduation credential.
Victoria Academy is an Ontario, Canada private high school with:
BSID #884963
Victoria Academy provides Ontario high school courses, academic records, report cards and transcripts according to applicable Ontario education requirements.
Students who successfully complete all applicable Ontario graduation requirements may earn the full:
ONTARIO SECONDARY SCHOOL DIPLOMA
The OSSD can support students who wish to explore higher education opportunities in Canada and many other international destinations.
WHY CAN THIS PATHWAY BE IMPORTANT FOR BATHINDA STUDENTS?
Students today are preparing for a world where university and career opportunities are increasingly international.
For students who may eventually study abroad, the pathway can provide early exposure to:
Canadian High School Education
International Academic Skills
Ontario Academic Credits
University-Focused Course Planning
Critical Thinking
English Communication
Research & Projects
Independent Learning
Scholarship Opportunities
Global University Preparation
The objective is not simply to add another qualification.
The objective is to help students become better prepared for the academic environment they may experience after Class 12.
STAY IN BATHINDA. STUDY CANADIAN.
International education does not necessarily need to begin by leaving Punjab.
A student at Bhoj Raj Lajwanti Jain Public High School can:
Continue attending regular school
Continue Indian studies
Remain with parents and family
Participate in normal school life
Prepare for Indian board examinations
Stay connected to Punjab's culture and community
And at the same time:
Study Canadian high school courses online
Complete Ontario credits
Develop international academic skills
Build a Canadian academic record
Prepare for global universities
STAY HOME. STUDY CANADIAN.
Students can begin international preparation while continuing their regular education in Bathinda.
START INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION WITHOUT IMMEDIATE RELOCATION
Moving abroad during high school can involve significant financial and personal changes.
Families may need to consider:
Overseas Tuition
Accommodation
Living Expenses
Travel Costs
Medical Insurance
Guardian Arrangements
Separation From Family
Adjustment to a New Country
The online Canadian pathway creates another starting point.
Students can gain international academic exposure while remaining in India.
Families can therefore explore international education gradually and make larger overseas decisions later.
HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL STUDY IS REQUIRED?
One of the most common questions parents ask is:
“Will my child now have to study two complete school schedules?”
The answer is:
NO.
Victoria Academy's pathway is designed around international students who continue their regular schooling.
Students generally focus on:
ONE ONTARIO COURSE AT A TIME
Typical study time may be approximately:
1 TO 1.5 HOURS PER DAY*
Students can access online learning resources flexibly and receive academic support during their studies.
Actual study time may vary depending on the student's course, grade, learning pace and approved academic plan.
ONE SUBJECT AT A TIME
Students already have their regular Indian school workload.
The purpose of the Canadian pathway is not to create unnecessary academic overload.
Students can generally focus on one Ontario course before moving to another.
This can help students:
Concentrate Better
Reduce Additional Academic Pressure
Balance Indian and Canadian Studies
Complete Courses Systematically
Develop Deeper Understanding
Maintain Regular School Priorities
A personalized Ontario credit plan can be developed according to the student's grade, previous education and future university goals.
CLASS 10 & CLASS 12 BOARD EXAMS REMAIN IMPORTANT
Indian board examinations remain an important priority.
The Canadian pathway is designed to work around these major examination periods.
Students may be able to take a planned pause during their:
CLASS 10 BOARD EXAM PERIOD
or
CLASS 12 BOARD EXAM PERIOD
and resume their Canadian studies afterward according to their approved academic plan.
The objective is:
BETTER BALANCE.
BETTER PLANNING.
LESS UNNECESSARY PRESSURE.
PREVIOUS INDIAN SCHOOL STUDIES MAY BE REVIEWED
Students entering the Canadian pathway in later grades may already have completed significant secondary education in India.
Their previous school records and marksheets may therefore be reviewed for possible Ontario credit recognition.
Eligible previous learning may help students avoid unnecessarily repeating equivalent high school work.
The academic review may consider:
Previous marksheets
Subjects already completed
Student's current grade
Previous years of study
Ontario graduation requirements
Academic eligibility
Victoria Academy academic review
This means every student's pathway can be different.
A student entering in Grade 9 may have a different academic plan from a student entering in Grade 10, 11 or 12.
A DIFFERENT STYLE OF ASSESSMENT
70% COURSEWORK + 30% FINAL EVALUATION
The Ontario assessment approach places significant importance on a student's work throughout the course.
70% COURSEWORK
may include:
Assignments
Projects
Quizzes
Tests
Research
Presentations
Course activities
Regular academic work
30% FINAL EVALUATION
is based on the applicable final evaluation component.
This means:
ONE FINAL EXAM DOES NOT NORMALLY DETERMINE THE ENTIRE COURSE RESULT.
Students are encouraged to work consistently throughout the course.
FROM MEMORIZATION TO APPLICATION
International higher education often expects students to do more than memorize information.
Students may need to:
Analyze ideas
Apply concepts
Conduct research
Write clearly
Work on projects
Present arguments
Solve unfamiliar problems
Work independently
Participate in group work
Meet academic deadlines
The Canadian pathway can help students develop:
CRITICAL THINKING
ENGLISH COMMUNICATION
PROBLEM-SOLVING
RESEARCH SKILLS
PRESENTATION SKILLS
TEAMWORK
INDEPENDENT LEARNING
CONFIDENCE
UNIVERSITY READINESS
These skills can be valuable whether the student ultimately studies abroad or continues higher education in India.
WHY THIS CAN MATTER WHEN A STUDENT EVENTUALLY GOES ABROAD
Going abroad for higher education involves more than travelling to another country.
Students must also adjust academically.
International universities may expect students to manage:
Independent study
Assignments
Projects
Academic writing
Presentations
Research
Group work
Deadlines
Continuous assessment
Students who have already experienced some of these learning methods during high school may feel better prepared for the transition.
The OSSD pathway can therefore become:
PREPARATION FOR INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY LEARNING.
LEARN. RECEIVE FEEDBACK. IMPROVE.
Academic development should be a process.
Students can receive feedback during their Canadian coursework.
Depending on the course and applicable school policy, students may have opportunities to improve work, revise submissions or demonstrate improved understanding.
The process becomes:
LEARN
↓
COMPLETE THE WORK
↓
RECEIVE FEEDBACK
↓
IMPROVE
↓
BUILD STRONGER SKILLS
The objective is not simply completing a course.
The objective is meaningful academic growth.
CHOOSE COURSES ACCORDING TO FUTURE CAREER GOALS
Students have different ambitions.
The Canadian pathway can support academic planning for areas such as:
MEDICAL & HEALTH SCIENCES
ENGINEERING & PHYSICAL SCIENCES
COMPUTER SCIENCE / IT / DATA
COMMERCE / BUSINESS / ACCOUNTING
ECONOMICS / STATISTICS
HUMANITIES / LAW / SOCIAL SCIENCES
ARTS / DESIGN / MEDIA
FLEXIBLE / UNDECIDED PATHWAYS
Ontario courses can therefore be selected according to future higher-education goals.
PLAN UNIVERSITY SUBJECTS BEFORE CLASS 12 ENDS
A student's choice of Grade 11 and Grade 12 subjects can directly affect future university options.
Different university programs may require different prerequisite subjects.
An engineering applicant may need particular mathematics and science courses.
A business applicant may need a different academic combination.
Computer science programs may have their own prerequisites.
Health science programs may require specific sciences.
Arts and design programs may follow different requirements.
That is why a useful planning approach is:
CAREER INTEREST
↓
UNIVERSITY PROGRAM
↓
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
↓
REQUIRED GRADE 12 SUBJECTS
↓
OSSD COURSE PLAN
The objective is to make course selection part of a larger university strategy.
PUNJAB'S GLOBAL AMBITION SHOULD INCLUDE GLOBAL OPTIONS
Canada is an important destination considered by many Punjab families.
But a student's international education strategy should ideally not depend on only one country.
Education policies can change.
Immigration rules can change.
University requirements can change.
Career opportunities can change.
A student's own interests can also change.
The stronger approach is to prepare for multiple destinations.
OSSD students may explore universities and colleges across:
CANADA 🇨🇦
UNITED STATES 🇺🇸
UNITED KINGDOM 🇬🇧
AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺
NEW ZEALAND 🇳🇿
EUROPE 🇪🇺
ASIA 🌏
UAE 🇦🇪
OTHER GLOBAL DESTINATIONS 🌎
The objective is:
MORE OPTIONS.
MORE FLEXIBILITY.
MORE GLOBAL POSSIBILITIES.
Actual university admission depends on academic results, prerequisite courses, program requirements and individual university policies.
BUILD AN INTERNATIONAL PROFILE BEFORE CLASS 12
Students who plan early can gradually work on:
Academic Performance
Required Grade 12 Subjects
English Communication
Research Skills
Projects
Presentation Skills
University Research
Scholarship Research
Career Planning
Application Preparation
This can help make the transition after Class 12 more organized.
Instead of reaching the end of school and asking:
“Where can I apply now?”
students can begin asking earlier:
“Which university program am I preparing myself for?”
That is a more strategic approach.
GLOBAL UNIVERSITY & COLLEGE PATHWAYS
Students may explore higher education opportunities across many international destinations.
The OSSD can support applications to institutions that accept Ontario secondary school qualifications.
Potential destinations include:
CANADA
USA
UK
AUSTRALIA
NEW ZEALAND
EUROPE
ASIA
UAE
OTHER GLOBAL DESTINATIONS
A student studying in Bathinda today can therefore begin building an academic pathway with international university possibilities in mind.
UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Strong academic performance may create additional opportunities.
Eligible OSSD students may explore merit-based and other scholarships at selected universities and colleges.
Some selected university scholarship opportunities may reach values of:
UP TO ₹47 LAKH*
depending on factors including:
Academic performance
University
Academic program
Scholarship eligibility
Competition
Annual university policies
Deadlines
Availability
These university scholarships are separate from Victoria Academy's high school admission scholarship.
Scholarships are not automatic or guaranteed.
CAN IELTS OR ANOTHER ENGLISH TEST SOMETIMES BE WAIVED?
POTENTIALLY — DEPENDING ON THE UNIVERSITY.
Some universities may provide eligible OSSD graduates with flexibility regarding additional English-language proficiency testing if their specific requirements are satisfied.
This may provide:
ENGLISH TESTING FLEXIBILITY*
However:
OSSD DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MEAN “NO IELTS” EVERYWHERE.
Each university determines its own English-language requirements.
Policies may also differ by academic program.
Students should always check the current requirements of the university they plan to attend.
VICTORIA ACADEMY SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITY
Victoria Academy's standard annual tuition is:
CAD $18,000*
Eligible students participating through the pathway may receive significant scholarship support.
Current scholarship opportunities may provide approximately:
80%–85% SCHOLARSHIP*
depending on eligibility and scholarship assessment results.
Illustrative tuition after scholarship may be approximately:
CAD $2,700–$3,600 PER YEAR*
For Indian families, this may be approximately:
₹1.8 LAKH–₹2.3 LAKH PER YEAR*
The actual amount depends on factors including:
Scholarship result
Student's grade
Individual course plan
Official offer letter
Applicable fees
CAD/INR exchange rate
Parents should always refer to the student's official Victoria Academy offer letter and invoice for final tuition information.
START WITH THE SCHOLARSHIP ASSESSMENT
Students can begin by determining their scholarship eligibility.
STEP 1
SCHOLARSHIP TEST / ASSESSMENT
Participate in the Victoria Academy scholarship assessment.
STEP 2
RECEIVE SCHOLARSHIP RESULT & OFFER LETTER
Eligible students receive their result and official offer containing scholarship, tuition and next-step information.
STEP 3
REVIEW THE OPPORTUNITY
Students and parents review the Canadian pathway, scholarship and payment arrangements.
STEP 4
ACADEMIC DOCUMENT REVIEW
Previous marksheets and academic records are reviewed where applicable.
STEP 5
PERSONALIZED OSSD COURSE PLANNING
An Ontario academic plan is prepared according to the student's previous education and future goals.
STEP 6
STUDENT ORIENTATION
Students receive guidance about the learning platform, course expectations and academic process.
STEP 7
CANADIAN STUDIES BEGIN
Students begin Ontario high school courses according to their approved academic plan.
TRANSPARENT TUITION PAYMENT
Canadian tuition is paid:
DIRECTLY TO VICTORIA ACADEMY, CANADA
The partner school is not required to collect Victoria Academy tuition fees from parents.
Depending on the student's official offer and invoice terms, payment arrangements may include:
FULL PAYMENT
SEMI-ANNUAL PAYMENT
QUARTERLY PAYMENT
This creates a clear separation between the student's local school arrangements and Canadian school tuition.
PARENTS REMAIN PART OF THE JOURNEY
International education planning should include parents.
The Victoria Academy pathway can include:
STUDENT PROGRESS VISIBILITY
ACADEMIC GUIDANCE
COURSE PLANNING
ONTARIO CREDIT TRACKING
PARENT COMMUNICATION
UNIVERSITY PATHWAY GUIDANCE
Parents can remain informed while their child continues regular schooling in Bathinda.
BHOJ RAJ LAJWANTI JAIN PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL REMAINS AT THE CENTRE
The Canadian pathway is not intended to replace the student's existing school.
Students continue their education and school life at Bhoj Raj Lajwanti Jain Public High School.
The Victoria Academy Canadian pathway is added alongside their existing education.
Collaboration activities may include:
Scholarship Assessments
Student Awareness Sessions
Parent Orientation Sessions
Parent-Teacher Meetings
Academic Information Sessions
Canadian Education Awareness
University Pathway Guidance
Student Coordination Support
Victoria Academy provides the Canadian-side academic component, including admission processing, scholarship evaluation, online course delivery, academic reporting and student support.
A NEW WAY FOR PUNJAB FAMILIES TO THINK ABOUT STUDY ABROAD
The traditional approach may look like this:
FINISH CLASS 12
↓
CHOOSE A COUNTRY
↓
SEARCH FOR A COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY
↓
APPLY
↓
MOVE ABROAD
The Bhoj Raj Lajwanti Jain Public High School–Victoria Academy pathway allows families to consider another approach:
CONTINUE INDIAN SCHOOL
↓
BEGIN CANADIAN HIGH SCHOOL LEARNING
↓
DEVELOP INTERNATIONAL ACADEMIC SKILLS
↓
PLAN UNIVERSITY SUBJECTS
↓
BUILD AN INTERNATIONAL ACADEMIC PROFILE
↓
RESEARCH GLOBAL UNIVERSITIES
↓
EXPLORE SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
↓
MAKE A BETTER-INFORMED DECISION AFTER CLASS 12
International education can therefore become a planned journey rather than a last-minute decision.
