school every day, Monday to Friday, two hours for each class you choose. The first class of the day
begins at 8: 15 a.m.and the last one at 1:00 p.m. Check our website to learn the date of the next
registration session An Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD)is earned after thirty credits are
successfully completed. If you have been to school elsewhere, held a job, raised children, immigrated to
Canada or had other learning experiences, you may apply for Prior Learning Assessment Review
