At Atlantic Hall, we empower our students to thrive on the world stage through a range of international programs designed to open doors to global opportunities.
We are proud to offer the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) in partnership with KAI Academy International, Ontario, and approved by the Ontario Ministry of Education, Canada.

What is the OSSD?
The Ontario Secondary School Diploma is the official secondary school graduation certificate required for university admission in Canada and is widely accepted as an entry requirement for universities across the globe.
To earn the OSSD, students must complete a minimum of 30 credits, including 18 compulsory credits and 12 optional credits. Additionally, students must engage in 40 hours of community involvement and pass the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Course (OSSLC).

Why Choose OSSD at Atlantic Hall?
Global Recognition: The OSSD is recognized worldwide by universities, making it a strong foundation for your child’s future education.

Convenience: Students can complete their OSSD requirements right here at Atlantic Hall, including coursework, assessments (OSSLT), and community involvement activities, all under the supervision of the Ontario Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO).

Cost-Effective: This program allows families to access international education without the added expense of sending students abroad, saving on foreign exchange costs.

Advantages of the OSSD

Students earn an internationally respected diploma without the stress of additional exams, allowing them to showcase their abilities in various ways.

Every OSSD student is assigned a unique Ontario Education Number (OEN), marking them as Canadian students.

OSSD students can apply directly to Ontario universities, benefiting from clearer and more accommodating entrance requirements.

An OSSD opens the door to fast-track residency in Ontario, including paying home fees after the first year.

OSSD students can apply for various scholarships, including the Ontario Scholars Award for an 80% average.

The OSSD is recognized worldwide, eliminating the need for A-Levels or foundation degrees for students applying to competitive schools.

The OSSD program is designed to cater to students with special needs, as well as competitive athletes.

Students meeting Ontario’s eligibility criteria are guaranteed university placements in top institutions across Canada, the UK, Australia, the US, and beyond.

Students enjoy online access to Canadian tutors at any time.

OSSD students have access to scholarships and training opportunities for competitive sports in Canada.

The program includes over 150 engaging courses, from STEM and Computer Science to AP courses, Core French, and specialized tracks in fields like Medical, Business, Engineering, Design, Visual Arts, and more.

The OSSD curriculum is consistently rated among the top five education systems globally by the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA).

Unlike the more rigorous and stressful IB program, the OSSD is designed to be inclusive and balanced while still delivering exceptional results, with many students gaining entry to prestigious universities.

Atlantic Hall provides an all-inclusive fee package covering high-dosed tutoring, Notebooks & Textbooks, OSSLT Assessment, Admission Processing and many more.

The programme is presently available to SS2 (grade 11) and SS3 (grade 12) students who wish to further their education abroad after Atlantic Hall.

Give your child the opportunity to excel in a globally recognized program that opens doors to top-tier universities worldwide. Choose Atlantic Hall’s OSSD Program for a bright future!
