Because Their Future Matters: 2026–2027 Registration

Recently, I heard from the Tremblay family, whose daughter Léa enrolled in Quebec Online School last year. At first, Léa was nervous and unsure about leaving her local school behind, but her parents saw her spark for learning and wanted to encourage it. They told me how the supportive teachers and flexible online programs helped Léa gain confidence in math and science - two subjects where she struggled significantly at her last school. Today, Léa's parents are thrilled to see her thriving, and they say that choosing Quebec Online School was one of the best decisions they have made for their daughter's future.

Both of my parents valued learning not only as a goal but also as an experience. My father came from many generations of financial hardship, and my mother’s family had experienced significant trauma in recent years that deeply affected her childhood. Both had to drop out of school before graduation to support their families, but they understood enough about character and choices never to see themselves as victims. They sacrificed much to further their own education as adults, my mother becoming a teacher of accounting for entrepreneurs starting their own business, and my father heading up the development of Ireland’s equivalent of CEGEP in the 1970s. They also poured their lives into their children, making sure we would never see that we lacked because they were unable to provide for us. Their sacrifices were only fully understood many years later, but the fruit of their labours is evident in the lives of all of their children, who went on to be leaders in their own fields of expertise. The values my parents lived by—perseverance, a belief in potential, and a commitment to opening new doors through education—are the foundation of Quebec Online School’s mission. We strive to ensure that every student, no matter their background or challenges, has the opportunity to excel and shape their own path, just as my parents did for me.

Their story is the story of so many of the parents who register their children for Quebec Online School - a school designed for those who know that more is possible. Many have heard all the excuses for why the “system” is failing their children. But a parent who knows their child’s potential rarely gives up. They know that someone, somewhere, can connect, understand, and open the doors for their children to believe in themselves. Reading through the testimonials (which all come from real families in our school) reminds me that my parents’ dreams and visions live on in their children's lives. As one parent shared, "We watched our son go from doubting himself to looking forward to every lesson. His marks went from 53% to 85% in less than a year, and he now believes in his abilities." Seeing marks go from 50%s to 80%s in one year is not uncommon.

That’s why Quebec Online School is not an expense in a monthly budget. It is an investment in the future of a child who will one day influence their world. Many of our alumni have gone on to excel in university studies, start their own businesses, and become leaders in their communities. Their stories show the long-term value of choosing the right educational path. Parents can be confident that their commitment today can open doors for their children tomorrow.
