Dear Students and Parents,

We welcome you to Norstar College. NC is dedicated to providing the best education for the children of our local and international community. We are deeply committed to being a professional learning community which means doing whatever it takes to help our students succeed.

For our international students, studying abroad is both challenging and rewarding. At NC, we are dedicated to providing international students with opportunities to enhance their knowledge and immerse themselves in an exciting cross-cultural environment. It is our belief that great students make a great college. We nurture the intellectual, social and personal development of each and every student.

This website has been designed to inform you about our courses and services, our faculty and staff, our academic policies and administrative rules and procedure here at NC. I invite you to discover the quality and effective learning opportunities at our college. You will see that our courses and services have been carefully developed to equip students with qualifications and skills that are essential to meet the demanding requirements of Canadian universities and, later on, to succeed professionally in an international setting.

Our ESL and University Preparation Courses set an ambitious goal of smoothing the transition difficulties that are often associated with first-year university studies. We help students develop confidence in their knowledge and communication skills so that they are fully prepared to face the challenges of university studies and keep up NC’s reputation for academic excellence.

The teachers and staff at NC continue to support and encourage our students to strive for academic excellence.  Our programs and courses provide our students the means in which to explore careers and colleges in preparation for life beyond their high school experience.

Our college is located in one of the most multicultural cities in the world – Toronto. Every year, students from many countries choose our city to obtain their education. At Ontario Institute of Technology, we offer students a rigorous program of study in a modern educational facility, open-access computer labs with high-speed internet, a safe, friendly and supportive environment, as well as individual attention to each student’s needs.

At this stage you undoubtedly have many dreams and plans for the future, and I wish you all the best in the pursuit of your educational and personal goals. I look forward to welcoming you to our campus.

Kind regards,

Ms. Anne-Louise Power B.A.Grad.DipGenCouns Grad.Dip.Education, M.Ed
