Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) Program

The Ontario Secondary School program is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills they will need to lead satisfying productive lives after school. The program prepares students for further education, work, and helps them to become independent, productive, and responsible members of society.

The program is typically extended over four years for local Ontario students and students are awarded the Ontario Secondary School Diploma upon successful completion of the program. An Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) requires the completion of:
  • a minimum of 30 credits, including compulsory and optional credits
  • 40 hours of community involvement activities
  • the literacy graduation requirement
  • the online learning graduation requirement (2 online learning credits)
  • the financial Literacy graduation requirement (Note: Starting in September 2026, students enrolled in a Grade 10 mathematics course must successfully complete a financial literacy graduation requirement as part of the course. They will need to achieve a mark of 70% or higher to pass this new requirement and earn their high school diploma)
