We are committed to reaching every student to help them achieve a successful outcome from the secondary school experience.
It is very important that students complete a secondary education to have opportunities to further their education and have better career opportunities. In Ontario, it is a requirement to remain in secondary school until the student has reached the age of eighteen or obtained an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD)
