Frequently asked questions
How does Smartious work with Upper Grand District School Board (UGDSB) homeschool requirements?
Guelph families file the standard Ontario one-time letter with UGDSB (Upper Grand District School Board) or WCDSB (Wellington Catholic District School Board) declaring intent to homeschool. Both boards accept the letter routinely. Smartious provides curriculum documentation for U of G and other university applications.
Does Smartious help Guelph families apply to Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) at U of G?
Yes. Ontario Veterinary College (OVC at University of Guelph — Canada's oldest and one of only five Canadian vet schools) accepts Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level.
