Everything You Need to Know
Clear answers about admissions, technology, curriculum, and daily student life. Need direct assistance? Contact our team anytime.
Are classes live or pre-recorded?
Every core class is live and interactive. Your child sits in a real classroom with a teacher who can see them, call on them, and answer their question in the moment. We do not use pre-recorded video lessons, and we do not record our classes.
What grades do you accept?
We accept students in Grades 1 through 12.
Is the school co-educational?
Yes. In Grades 1-5, boys and girls learn together in small cohorts. Starting in Grade 6 through Grade 12, boys and girls are taught in separate, dedicated live classrooms.
How are students monitored and supervised online?
Classes are kept small and actively moderated by teachers. We utilize Classroom.cloud software to monitor screen activity and prevent improper internet browsing. Private unmonitored messaging between students is strictly disabled.
Is online school really as effective as in-person?
It is often vastly more effective. In a 30-student brick-and-mortar room, quiet kids get ignored and distracted kids fall behind. Our live classes are kept small so teachers actively engage every student. With daily attendance and live monitoring, gaps get caught the week they appear instead of at the report card.
Will my child lose social development?
They actually gain better social skills. Your child interacts live with teachers and peers daily in a controlled, respectful space free from toxic cliques, swearing, or bullying. They form healthy friendships based on shared values.
Will my child be at an academic disadvantage?
No, they gain an academic edge. Our curriculum follows Ontario standards strictly, allowing seamless transitions to any university or high school. Plus, the smaller class sizes yield far more direct teacher interaction than traditional schools offer.
Why should we trust a newer online school?
Our founders bring over 15 years of Ontario classroom experience. We teach the Ontario curriculum, monitor screens actively with Classroom.cloud, and give you full parent portal access so you can inspect the learning in real time.
Is this going to cause screen fatigue?
No. We intentionally balance screen time. Lessons are interactive discussions, and students complete their actual reading, problem solving, and writing on physical printed workbooks that we ship to your home.
Can my child return to a regular brick-and-mortar school later?
Yes. Our courses follow the Ontario curriculum, and high school credits go on an Ontario Student Transcript, so moving to a public or private school is usually straightforward. As with any transfer, the receiving school makes the final decision on placement.
Does my child earn OSSD credits?
Yes, in Grades 9 to 12. LearnHaven Ontario is an inspected private school, and inspection is what allows a private school to grant credits that count toward the Ontario Secondary School Diploma. Those credits go on an Ontario Student Transcript and are recognised by universities, colleges and other schools. The diploma itself also requires the provincial literacy test and 40 hours of community involvement, which every student in Ontario completes wherever they study.
Is Darul Haya registered with the Ministry of Education?
Yes. Darul Haya operates as a brand of LearnHaven Ontario, which the Ministry approved as an inspected private school and issued school number (BSID) 885538, under board B78599, CR Private Inspected. Every core subject is taught to the curriculum expectations the Ministry publishes for that grade. Registration and inspection are not an endorsement, since the Ministry does not endorse private schools, but you can quote the school number when you check us.
What computer equipment do we need?
A desktop, laptop, or tablet with a working webcam, a reliable internet connection, and a quiet learning space. Textbooks are shipped directly to you.
What is the complete cost?
Tuition is $225/month for Grades 1-8 and $250/month for Grades 9-12. Sibling discount is 15%. Material fees are billed separately once we know the book and shipping costs for your child's grade, and we confirm the exact amount with you before you pay anything.
Do you teach Arabic?
Yes. Daily and weekly live Arabic instruction is built into every grade level's schedule at no extra charge.
Do we have to print workbooks at home?
No. We ship physical, printed books and workbooks directly to your home before the school year begins.
What if we enroll and decide it is not the right fit?
Speak with us. We offer thorough consultation calls prior to start dates to ensure Darul Haya fits your family's exact needs before you commit long term.
