Potential Max! combines individualized coaching and guidance for youngsters. Interactive, stimulating and educational tools help them explore many choices as they embark on their journey of learning, and explore the exciting world of careers and work that lies ahead.

Potential Max! helps students move from junior to senior secondary school. The program prepares students for the task ahead of choosing specific subjects to study in Grades 10, 11 and 12. Like its senior counterpart, Potential Max! is administered in the comfort of a student’s home, with the support and guidance of a coach. Communication is through Skype, the Internet and/or the telephone.

Three assessments and tools provide each child with two years of access to their own portfolio, with journals, helpful videos to better understand their own strengths and needs. Potential Max! is a fun and easy way of understanding the grown-up world of work and careers, and learn to plan and organize their activities.

Something few parents ever had: Personalized coaching


Coaches provide a minimum of three sessions with students (and their parents, if they wish) to guide them in understanding the comprehensive reports from the assessments and tests. Coaches also provide helpful ideas for organizing time and events.

Kids learn to maximize learning and use of the tools. They also help make connections to community organizations and clubs that would benefit students as they progress.

A portable skills portfolio


In Potential Max!, students transition easily from one stage of education to another. They use skills, knowledge and understanding of human behavior learned from these programs, and from their coaches. They keep these portfolios for at least two years. When the student reaches grade 10, he or she moves on to a higher level of intervention, such as Career Analytics.

Student Success Program: Success Logics

Enroll Now [ 1,000 CAD ]


Success Logics (formerly "CollegeSkills") is a self-directed, web-based course that helps Grade 12 students who intend to pursue post-secondary education, transition smoothly into a new lifestyle and study environment. It assists students leaving a nurturing classroom environment, and entering an independent facility of self-direction and personal development. This course gives participants the skills and knowledge base to succeed in their new education environment. This awkward transitioning period, when students become anxious, and need reassurances to remain steadfast and focused, is when students are at their most vulnerable.

Self-Directed and Independent Study

Students begin with a self-assessment to determine their multiple intelligences, personality type and learning styles. The fourteen comprehensive chapters of Success Logics that follow provide insight into the three areas that make human beings function in society:

  • Physiological;
  • Social;
  • Psychological.

From self-awareness to developing a plan for success, and attaching support mechanisms, students learn to build confidence and stay motivated while studying.

As students proceed, they keep personal progress journals, and make personal growth observations. Students understand and apply these principles to their own experience. Students then better grasp what it takes to succeed in their everyday lives. It makes a difference in the classroom, lecture halls, private study time, managing time, money, friends, nutrition and inter-personal relationships. Students can keep this e-course for as long as they want it, allowing them to refresh their memory and re-learn or re-visit principles as needed.

Whether students wish to come to school to learn English, or to complete high-school or to start university or college, International Scholars Program (ISP) staff help simplify the process by doing most of the preparation, research and applications for them.

Preparation
Work Plan

To prepare for study in Canada, Canadian Education & Life Skills Network develops a Workplan for each student applicant. It has clear-cut deadlines for the submission of documents and information for processing. Each country is distinct, so different deadlines are developed with respect to countries of origin, and schools chosen. In developing the Workplan, consideration is given for processing times demanded by Citizenship and Immigration Canada for Student Permits and Temporary (entry/exit) visas.

Translation

Canadian Education & Life Skills Network helps to get your original documents translated, and notarized. Our skilled translators accurately translate your documents, such as school transcripts, and certificates. Canadian Education & Life Skills Network ensures that your originals are safely returned to you.

Applications Visa, Permits

Students wishing to go to high school in Canada must begin the registration process with Canadian Education & Life Skills Network between January and April, for a September start date in the same year. In addition to complying with requirements within their home countries, students require two Canadian-issued documents to allow them to stay and study in Canada: (a) Temporary Resident Visa (to enter and exit Canada) and (b) Student Permit (to study in Canada).

Foreign students may also work while they are studying in Canada, and for up to three years after they have graduated. To do this, students must apply for a Work Permit for Students (students can work both on and off campus). They may also apply for permanent residency. Canadian Education & Life Skills Network makes connections for students to prepare for and find jobs and to apply for work permits.
