Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD)
Laureate offers credit courses that lead to the completion of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). This diploma is achieved by obtaining 30 credits of which 18 are compulsory credits and 12 are elective credits. In addition, a student must complete 40 hours of community service and pass the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT). If the final average of the top 6 grade 12 credits is 80% or higher, a student may also receive an Ontario Scholar Certificate.
The OSSD will provide the opportunity to advance further in the post-secondary education programs in Ontario as well as other provinces in Canada and other countries.
