Ontario Public Elementary School system in Canada

There are important facts for ex-pats to know about the Ontario Public Elementary School system that are difficult to understand in their entirety until you experience them. This information may help you decide what type of school to consider. This essay details what we have learned about the Ontario Public School system and how it is different and weaker than the US/Michigan system. (Comparisons are made primarily to the Michigan Curriculum due to our particular needs).Indeed, our experience in the Oakville Public Schools has been the only disappointing factor in our ex-pat move to Canada. We moved to Canada as our children entered Grades 1,3 and 6. Upon arriving and experiencing the Oakville public schools we have learned that the Ontario elementary curriculum is behind the Michigan curriculum. This experience has led us to move our children out of their Ontario Public School and to a private school which we believe is much more in line with Michigan standards.
