Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) is the Ontario’s Province High School Diploma, which is accredited by the Canadian Ministry of Education as the Secondary School completion certificate. Grade 12 is widely known as OSSD (Ontario Secondary School Diploma) and marks the completion of the Secondary school journey. Upon graduating with the Grade 12 OSSD Diploma, students prepare for post-secondary education.
As such there are more detailed requirements for entry to our Grade 12. Potential students may need to provide either IGCSE O’ level, with a minimum of B in each subject, (or) 10th Standard Matriculation results, with a minimum of 425 marks and a minimum of 67 marks for each subject. Additionally, the school transcripts from previous 3 grades may be required to transfer credits for the subjects , students have taken at their previous schools to add up to 30 OSSD credits.
Canadian High School offers the OSSD Program in partnership with Rosedale Global High School, which is authorized by the Canadian Ministry of Education to grant OSSD diploma certificate. The Canadian High School Program starts from Grade 9 and culminates at Grade 12. While our Grade 9 and Grade 10 subjects adopt both the National Curriculum for England (NCfE) and the Ontario curriculum, the subjects taught in Grade 11 and Grade 12 are solely based on Ontario curriculum, which is recognized by the Canadian Ministry of Education. Students are required to obtain 30 credits throughout the Canadian High School Program from Grade 9 to Grade 12 as well as complete 10 hours of community service to work towards the successful completion of the OSSD diploma.
Assessment and evaluation of OSSD program is not only dependent on the exam results, but also on the overall process of learning, which include knowledge inquisition and research and the ability of the students to apply the knowledge gained from their lessons to solve existing problems using creative ideas and solutions with available resources. Additionally, improving the student’s ability to present and communicate their work is considered an important part of the curriculum. The assignments account for the 70% of the course evaluation, while the final project and/or final exam accounting for 30%. This accumulative assessment throughout the secondary school education ensures an inclusive environment for children with different learning needs and support, as the evaluation is not solely based on rote learning and exam results and supports an overall development of children during their learning process.
