The school put unremitting hard work in students to achieve their desired educational goals. We pride ourselves on giving our local and international students an excellent education from certified and exceedingly knowledgeable teachers.

 

 

We offer at high school and secondary school levels:

X  for full-time students –

î  Ontario Secondary School Diploma Program (OSSD, Grade 9-12) 

î  University Preparation Program (Grade 12).  

X  For part-time students - we offer night school and after school help.

 

We also offer OSSD for students who would like to study full time or part-time to get their diploma before applying to universities/colleges in Canada or elsewhere. Students can join the program at any time after finishing grade 8. The test is written in Grade 10 for students to show case their literacy skills are while they still have time to improve them before finishing school.

 

The Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) - is based on the reading and writing expectations in all subject areas up to the end of Grade 9. These skills are the basis for learning in all subject areas throughout both elementary and secondary school.

 

The test includes two test booklets which contain reading and writing activities. In total, there are five reading passages, 41 multiple choice questions and 8 written response activities, including 6 short answer questions and 2 long writing tasks. The test is administered in two 75 minute sessions with a break in between each session.

 

All Grade 10 students in Ontario who are working toward an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) must write this test.

 

The administration of the OSSLT will take place from:

X  Wednesday, October 13, to Wednesday, December 1, 2021, with individual student results reported by the end of January 2022.

X  Wednesday, March 23, to Wednesday, May 18, 2022, with individual student results reported by the end of June 2022.

 

Students who do not pass the test may retake the test the following year. For some students, the best option is to take the Grade 12 Literacy Course and receive direct instruction in needed areas while earning an additional credit towards graduation.

 

 

For students graduating in 2021–2022 school year, the OSSLT requirement has been waived, graduating students will not have to take the OSSLT.

 

Our University Preparation Program (Grade 12) is 1- year program designed for students to get the high school diploma who have finished grade 11 or grade 12 so they can apply to any Universities/Colleges inside or outside of Canada.
