Welcome from the Head of School

Dear staff, students and families,

Welcome to our HTS Online community. 2023-2024 will be a remarkable year in our school’s history — the first cohort of students and staff, the first year of being a connected global community, and the first year of redefining learning as a team of passionate learners.

It will be our year of many firsts, most importantly a year of extraordinary learning and leadership.

The HTS Global Online Campus is a division of the HTS Learning Network which has its home campus in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada. HTS is a not-for-profit, registered charity, with an incredible 42-year history of providing an exemplary educational experience to learners in Ontario with an extraordinary alumni network making an impact around the world.

The Board of Governors and I, alongside many experts in our vast HTS network, have been building this vision for an exceptional online learning experience. We are excited that our visionary learning model, centred around community and personalization, will be part of your child’s learning journey.

HTS intentionally charts pathways that are rooted in personalized, interdisciplinary, and competency-framed learning to support graduates develop into agile problem-solvers, with a strong moral compass willing to make a difference in the world.

The power of personalized learning is not in what we teach or how we teach it — the power comes from deeply knowing and understanding who we teach.

This is the HTS difference and promise.

As a member of our community, you can count on:
