Fulford Academy to be a Credit Granting School
This year at Fulford Academy, we have embarked on an exciting new adventure. By February 2009, Fulford Academy will receive approval from the Ministry of Education of Ontario to act as a credit-granting private school. At that time, the Academy will offer Ontario secondary school courses in ESL, and expect to grant our first credits to our high school students in spring 2009. Another exciting prospect is that in September 2009, we will extend our Ministry course offerings to include a full spectrum of grade 7 and 8 credits.
 
Starting from the 2009-2010 academic year, our elementary students can receive all of their required courses at Fulford, and will receive a transcript showing that they have completed the requirements of the Ministry of Education curriculum for their year of study. Their learning will be fully transferable, accepted as qualification to all Canadian and USA schools, and if desired it should be a straightforward task to have our students' school year validated by their home country.
 
As always, we will teach our subjects from an ESL perspective, and will use the Fulford methodology that integrates language learning into the various subjects taught. Although this is not a huge leap for the teachers nor require a big change in our curriculum, it opens up many opportunities for our students. We will be able to meet the needs of a broader range of candidates, and parents will appreciate the reassurance that their children can maintain their academic progress as they improve their English.

Stories from Fulford Alumni
 
"My name is Constantin von Liel and I attended Fulford Academy for the summer program in 2003. I decided to take part in this program to prepare myself for the next step which was Upper Canada College (UCC), a day and boarding school for boys from Kindergarten to grade 12, in Toronto, where I spend my last 2 years of high school. The time at Fulford Academy was essential for my success at UCC as it prepared me for the different teaching style and boarding life in North America compared to Germany.
After graduating High School I took a year off for community service and am now attending the European Business School (EBS) in Oestrich-Winkel, Germany. After my second year, in 2008, I went back to Fulford for an internship and spent seven weeks with Suzan Kendal helping her work out a business plan for "School In A Box" powered by Fulford Academy".
