Toronto is consistently ranked as one of the safest cities in North America. It’s also one of the most diverse, with communities from all parts of the world. Students feel welcome and included, and they can meet peers from many different cultures while learning about Canada’s values of respect and inclusion.
High-Quality Education System
Ontario’s education system is one of the best in the world. At GLCT, we follow the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) curriculum, which prepares students for success in universities across Canada and internationally. With small class sizes and personalized support, our students receive the attention they need to succeed.
