Student credit flow
Student signs up on Units
Student completes interactive course (lessons, assessments, projects)
System marks student as credit-ready
Student submits credit request + payment ($249)
Partner school receives a review packet (student profile, course completion, all submissions, assessment scores)
Partner performs final oversight and review
Partner issues official OSSD credit on student's transcript
What you receive for each student
When a student is credit-ready, your school receives a comprehensive review packet containing everything needed for final oversight.
Why Ontario, why now
is how long existing virtual schools take to deliver a single credit
is what most Ontario virtual schools charge per credit
is how fast Units students complete a credit at $249

Revenue model
Per-credit fee
Simple, transparent compensation for every credit you issue. We agree on terms that work for both sides.
No platform costs
No setup fees, no technology costs, no infrastructure investment. We handle the entire student-facing operation.
Incremental volume
We handle all student support, marketing, and technology. You receive credit-ready students with complete documentation.
Academic rigor you can trust
Every course follows Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum expectations. Here's how quality is maintained at every level.
OSSD-accredited courses
All instructional content is reviewed by Ontario College of Teachers-certified educators. Teachers of record hold valid Ontario credentials and oversee final assessment quality. All courses follow the Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum expectations.
Three-layer assessment
Students Create real-world artifacts, Defend their choices in oral assessment, and Critique AI-generated work. AI tools are allowed — the bar is set above what a prompt alone produces.
Mastery-based progression
Students must demonstrate 90%+ accuracy on each concept before advancing. The system prevents compounding knowledge gaps and ensures genuine understanding.
Full audit trail
Every student interaction is logged — lesson completions, assessment submissions, revision history, AI coach conversations, and time-on-task data. Complete transparency for oversight.
Faster doesn't mean less rigorous
The common question: “How can you deliver a credit in 2-4 weeks when we take 4-6 months?” The answer is simple — we cut waste, not content.
Active learning time is comparable
A student spending 20-25 hours actively learning on Units does roughly the same amount of actual work as a student spending 110 "hours" at a traditional virtual school — because most of those hours aren't active learning.
The diagnostic personalizes the path
Students who already know plot structure from reading novels don't sit through 3 hours of lessons on it. Traditional schools can't skip material. We can — students routinely skip 20-40% of content on day one.
Mastery-based means no wasted repetition
If a student demonstrates mastery in 3 attempts, they don't need 10. Traditional schools give everyone 10 regardless.
Immediate feedback compresses revision cycles
What takes 2-3 weeks of back-and-forth at a traditional school (submit → wait 3-5 days → revise → wait again) happens in one sitting with AI feedback in 10 seconds.
The credential and outcomes are the same
Same OSSD credit. Same Ontario curriculum expectations. Same transcript. The experience is faster because technology eliminates inefficiency — not because we teach less.
Expanding beyond Ontario
Units is building toward US credit issuance through regional accreditation. If your school holds Cognia or WASC accreditation, we'd like to talk.
Cognia accreditation
Covers ~36 US states and 85+ countries. The largest accreditation footprint and the fastest path to multi-state credit issuance.
WASC accreditation
The standard for California, Hawaii, and the Pacific. UC/CSU a-g course approval and NCAA eligibility both require WASC or equivalent.
Full portability
All six US regional accreditors have mutual recognition. Credits from any regionally accredited school transfer nationwide and are accepted by virtually all colleges.
