About Apex Academy Online
Apex Academy Online is an Ontario Ministry of Education-inspected private school delivering Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) courses to students across Canada and internationally.

- Maintain accurate assessment records and student grades using our online learning management system.
- Apply the principles of assessment and evaluation outlined in Ontario's Growing Success policy.
- Communicate professionally and effectively with students from a range of educational backgrounds.
Qualifications
Required:
- Ontario College of Teachers (OCT) certification in positive standing.
- Qualifications and experience teaching senior secondary Physics.
- Strong knowledge of the Ontario Grade 11 and Grade 12 Physics curriculum.
- Excellent written communication and organizational skills.

Preferred:
- Previous experience teaching online or supporting asynchronous learners.
- Familiarity with Canvas or similar learning management systems.
- Experience supporting international students pursuing the OSSD.
- An ability to explain complex mathematical and scientific concepts clearly and accessibly.
What We Offer
- Fully remote work with flexible scheduling.
- Established course materials and assessments.
- The opportunity to work with students from Canada and around the world.
- Administrative support and guidance.
- A professional environment that values academic integrity, meaningful assessment and student success.
- An opportunity to contribute to a growing online secondary school.
