Building one online course properly takes months.You Need a Catalog.
Every credible online course needs sequenced lessons, recorded instruction, assessments mapped to expectations, rubrics, and a teacher workflow. SchoolConex course shells arrive with that work done, loaded into your branded LMS for private schools and facilitated by your teachers or with Ontario teacher facilitation support. This matters far beyond convenience. When your school applies for a Ministry inspection, the courses are the substance an inspector reviews: how each credit course maps to the Ontario curriculum expectations, how it assesses and evaluates students, and whether the evidence holds together. Courses assembled from loose files rarely survive that scrutiny; structured, curriculum-aligned shells are built to. A full Grade 9–12 catalog is also the single largest and slowest thing to build from scratch — often the difference between a launch this year and a launch two years out. Our guide on how to start an online private school in Ontario puts course infrastructure in the context of the whole compliance path, and the free OSSD School Launch Kit shows where it sits among every other system a credible school needs.
What every course shell includes.
Structured units, not loose files
Each course shell sequences lessons, readings, tasks, and checkpoints so a student always knows what comes next, and a teacher can see where they are.
Recorded instruction built in
Video lessons and worked explanations support students learning asynchronously across time zones.
Assessments with rubrics attached
Assignments, quizzes, unit tests, and culminating tasks ship with rubrics, so evaluation is consistent from the first submission.
Organized for the teacher, too
Shells are laid out for facilitation: feedback points, monitoring views, and clear marking workloads per unit.
Progress everyone can see
Students, teachers, and administrators get the same picture of submissions, engagement, and results.
Every course opens like this.Designed, Not Assembled.
These are the actual animated banners students see when they open their courses — one signal among many that the material behind them was built with care: 110 hours per course, interactive activities, and recorded instruction throughout.
Serious academic material, with your school in charge.
Course shells support clear expectations, assessment evidence, feedback, and documentation your inspector can follow. Your teachers facilitate, your principal approves, and credit decisions stay entirely with your school. That division is deliberate: SchoolConex provides the materials and structure, never the credentials. A registered private school cannot grant OSSD credits until it is inspected and granted [credit-granting authority](/resources/can-a-private-school-grant-ossd-credits-ontario), and that authority — like every academic decision — belongs to your inspected school and its principal. Our role is to make sure that when the inspection comes, the courses behind your program are already built to the standard it expects.
Course infrastructure questions, answered.
Course shells are designed around Ontario curriculum expectations to support OSSD-aligned delivery. Course approval, credit granting, and official records rest with your school's leadership and principal-of-record. SchoolConex provides the materials and structure, not the credentials.
The catalog focuses on Grades 9-12 online delivery. Bring your intended course list to a walkthrough and we will map it against what is available and what your program needs.
Yes. Shells are a structured starting point: your educators facilitate, adjust pacing, and apply your school's assessment policies. Your principal approves how every course runs.
