TORONTO, ONTARIO, COUNTRY, February 17, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Free Guidance and post secondary counseling for Ontario students affected by the pandemic

Ontario Virtual School today announced StudentSuccess.life, a FREE guidance and post secondary counseling service for students impacted by the pandemic. StudentSuccess.life by OVS is a portal that will connect Ontario students, parents and teachers to OCT Guidance counsellors. The service will offers wider access to guidance and career pathway counsellors 7 days a week between 10am and 6pm ET.

“ If a student was in grade 9 or grade 10 at the start of the pandemic, they are now in grade 11 or 12. These students have unanswered questions about pathways to post secondary. The traditional guidance counsellor system in Ontario wasn’t designed to support this many students at once, or the volume of mental health challenges they face today,” says Dwayne Matthews, Head of School, Innovation & Partnerships at OVS “Among secondary schools with guidance counsellors, the average ratio of students to guidance counsellors is 396:1. Access to guidance counsellors in Ontario is limited or non-existent, and we decided to fill a much-needed gap with the Free guidance counselling service.”

StudentSuccess.life by OVS aims to help students with their educational journey from high school applications through to post-secondary. All guidance counselors are Ontario Certified Teachers (OCT).
Counsellors can help students in several areas, including:

academic questions
course selection
graduation requirements
career pathways
post-secondary applications
mental and social support
other academic concerns

StudentSuccess.life by OVS will be available starting February 8th 2022, and will be free to all middle and high school Ontario Students. For more information visit www.studentsuccess.life

“We believe it’s important to always have someone available for students,” says OVS guidance counsellor Borzou Salavati. “Whether that’s during summer or winter break or even past school hours, we want to ensure there is a guidance counsellor students can talk to about their academic and personal wellbeing.”
