Units

Units is an online high school for students in Ontario, Canada, that issues Ontario Secondary School Diploma credits through an accredited school partner. Courses are self paced and designed to be completed in 4 to 8 weeks per credit rather than over a semester, and the credits appear on an official Ontario Student Transcript. The site says the credential is accepted by Canadian universities and that Ontario certified teachers review student work. Lessons are interactive rather than text based, and every unit ends in a real world artifact such as a published video, an essay, a pitch or a shipped product, so students build a portfolio alongside a transcript. A built in AI tutor gives one to one coaching, adapts to the student's pace and is available at any hour. Assessments are mastery based: students must demonstrate a concept before moving on, and they create, defend and critique work, including grading AI generated drafts, instead of sitting multiple choice tests. Progress is tracked with experience points and streaks. The school is aimed at ambitious teenagers who want to graduate faster or free up time for outside projects. Students apply by email or Google sign in. Tuition and fees are not published on the site.
