KAI Global School offers what we call “Collaboration Credits”.
These credits involve an approved third party to meet the practical requirements of the Curriculum Expectations of a course.

I love the freedom of self-studying. I can work on my own time. I also have a flexible schedule and super supportive teachers.
Besides the fact that Kanata Academy International helped me to enlarge my field of knowledge and be eager to learn, what I love most about it is how understanding and kind the teachers are. Their motivational words and their encouragement helped me more than anything to develop self-confidence, discover my strengths and work on my weaknesses.
I love everything about KAI; especially the assignments in the courses. My teachers always ask me to do interesting projects and presentations… I felt a sense of achievement every time I completed my work. I also felt so energized and motivated when receiving encouraging feedback from my teachers. The kind of assessments I did at KAI really encourages me a lot.
Kanata Academy International has given me the chance to explore my academic abilities and excel in all the courses. The teachers are very supportive and kind, and they were by our side until the end. I am grateful for this wonderful learning experience!
