Ontario’s Strategy for K–12 International Education

Ontario’s strategy for international education will provide an integrated, coordinated approach that will link the continuum of learning from K–12 schooling to postsecondary education and training, to living and working in Ontario.
The Ministry of Education will lead with phase one of the provincial strategy, focusing on K–12 learning opportunities. Ontario’s international education strategy will provide:

• enhanced course offerings and opportunities with an international context, to help Ontario K–12 students and educators build the global competencies, knowledge, and experiences needed to succeed in the worldwide economy;
• high-quality programs and services and a safe, welcoming environment for international students, to promote achievement and well-being and stimulate intercultural learning;
• opportunities to develop and share expertise among Ontario and international educators; and
• pathways for international students studying in Ontario, from elementary/secondary school to postsecondary education and beyond.
