A Better Fit for Today's Students
Async Academy is a modern, 100% online private school built to work in synergy with your student's regular day school. Because we build our own adaptive courseware in-house and partner directly with your home school's guidance office, your tuition goes straight into what actually matters—1-on-1 teacher coaching—at a fraction of traditional private school costs.
Works With Your Day School
-
•
Keep Your Home Base: Your student remains enrolled at their regular high school, which continues to maintain their Ontario Student Record (OSR).
-
•
Official Credit Transfer: When a course is completed, we submit final marks directly to the Ontario Ministry of Education and send official report cards to your day school guidance department to update their transcript.
Total Schedule Freedom
-
•
Zero Timetable Conflicts: No set bell times, no mandatory Zoom lectures, and no commute. Work whenever and wherever fits best.
-
•
Built for Real Life: Ideal for competitive athletes, working students, artists, or anyone who needs learning that adapts to their daily life.
Lower Cost, Higher Value
-
•
Built In-House, Zero Bloat: Because we develop our own courseware and coordinate directly with your day school, 100% of your tuition goes toward real teacher coaching rather than software middlemen or administrative overhead.
-
•
True Pay-As-You-Go: No large upfront tuition fees. Your $50 annual registration fee lets you start studying immediately, and then pay just $50 per unit assessment only when you submit work.
Education Built on Mastery, Not Upfront Risk
We believe students learn best when they are free from the pressure of arbitrary deadlines and non-refundable tuition fees. Our unique pay-as-you-go model unbundles course access from grading: pay just $50 to enroll for a full year, and then $50 per unit assessment only when your student has polished their work and is genuinely ready to submit. No recurring subscriptions, no hidden fees, and zero upfront tuition risk.
Pay Only As You Learn
Conventional private schools lock you into paying $600 to $800 upfront before your student even begins. At Async Academy, you only pay for what you actually use: start with a simple $50 registration fee, and never pay for grading until work is done.
-
✓
Zero Upfront Tuition Risk: Life happens. If sports training intensifies, timetables change, or family priorities shift, you haven't lost hundreds of non-refundable tuition dollars.
-
✓
$50 Annual Registration: A single $50 annual fee unlocks official Ontario private school enrollment, digital course materials, and interactive courseware for a full 12 months.
-
✓
No Subscriptions or Hidden Fees: No monthly recurring memberships, auto-renewing credit card charges, or unexpected technology fees. You have complete transparency and control over every payment.
-
✓
Complete Schedule Freedom: Complete an entire course in an accelerated 4-week sprint, or take up to a full calendar year at a comfortable pace. Need more time? You can extend your course indefinitely simply by registering again at the end of the year.
-
✓
Half the Cost of Competitors: A standard 4-unit credit course (4 units + 1 exam = 5 assessments) costs just $300 total ($50 registration + $250 assessments). Subsequent courses in the same year are just $250.
Mastery-Based Unit Assessments
Grading is unbundled from course access. When your student completes a unit's assignments, they purchase a $50 assessment for comprehensive evaluation and personalized coaching from an Ontario Certified Teacher (OCT).
-
✓
Personalized Video Feedback: Teachers don't just return a letter grade with red pen marks. For every unit, your teacher records a personalized 1-on-1 video walkthrough explaining strengths, reviewing rubrics, and giving actionable guidance.
-
✓
Submit Work Only When Ready: No arbitrary midnight deadlines or late-submission point deductions. Students polish their assignments until they are proud of them, submitting when ready.
-
✓
Catch Learning Gaps Early: Step-by-step unit evaluation ensures misconceptions are identified and coached before moving ahead to subsequent material or the culminating final exam.
-
✓
Built for Iterative Coaching: Most courses have 4 units + 1 final exam. Communication-intensive courses (English) are broken into 5–6 focused units + 1 exam so students get more frequent 1-on-1 teacher feedback loops as they build their writing and video skills.
-
✓
Official Ministry Transcript: Unit assessment marks compile into an official Ontario report card. Final grades are submitted directly to the Ministry of Education and transferred to your day school transcript.

Register NowHigh-Trust, No-Stress Exams
A final exam should measure what a student actually knows—not how well they handle a ticking clock or invasive spyware. We engineered our proctored exam workspace from the ground up so students can think clearly, work at a humane pace, and demonstrate their best thinking with complete academic integrity.
One Answer at a Time
Instead of staring at a massive, overwhelming exam paper, students write and finalize exactly one answer at a time. This keeps focus sharp and anxiety low.
- Focus entirely on the active task without cognitive overload.
- No scrolling back and forth or second-guessing past work.
- Clean, minimalist workspace designed for deep focus.
Breaks Between Questions
Exams don't have to be a grueling multi-hour marathon. Students can complete a question, upload the proctoring segment, securely save it, and exit to take a break.
- Take breaks between questions to rest your mind and stretch.
- Your completed answers are locked and saved immutably.
- Close your browser and resume writing whenever you are ready.
Student-Led Proctoring
No high-stress live proctors watching your screen or tracking your eye movements. We use verification-based camera recording that students control.
- Restart a question's recording any time before submitting if you want a fresh take.
- No invasive browser extensions or software takeovers.
- Continue recording in a single stream or upload per question.
Custom Courseware & Included Software
At Async Academy, we equip students with a professional-grade software suite to help them learn to use tools actually used in the real world. Through every course, students develop their skills using:
Full Canva Subscription
Unleash creativity with a fully-unlocked Canva subscription containing all features. Students get a full year of access to premium design tools, templates, fonts, and assets to build compelling videos, visual presentations, and digital portfolios for their courses.
Google Workspace
Every student receives a dedicated school Google Workspace account. It includes 5 GB of secure Drive storage, Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, providing the perfect toolkit for organizing files and collaborating.
Adaptive Courseware
We develop our own educational apps in-house, designed to adapt directly to your student. By utilizing advanced, secure AI, our coursework customizes its projects and readings to match your student's unique interests and learning style. It's an engaging, modern approach that goes beyond the textbook.
Student-Friendly Gemini AI
Access the power of Google's Gemini assistant in a safe, education-focused environment. Our courses use AI in a way that lets students use modern tools to learn more and faster.
