REQUIREMENTS FOR THE OSSD

To be awarded the Ontario High School Diploma (OSSD) program, students must earn 30 credits.

A credit is defined as a 110-hour course in which the expectations are laid down and will be monitored by CWS inspectors. Of the 30 credits, eighteen are compulsory, earned in courses from a list of subjects every student must take. Twelve credits are optional, earned in courses that the student may select from the full range of courses offered by the CWS World schools.

CWS Students must also complete 40 hours of Community Involvement Activities and pass the Canadian National Literacy Test, normally taken in Grade 10. This test is a test of the literacy of all students and it is a standardized test that applies to all students in Canada who are studying Grade 10 level. CWS students will have a choice to receive their High School Diploma in person.  Each CWS may be invited to attend graduation ceremonies and awards of their High School Diplomas in Canada.

The process of obtaining a Canadian visitor visa, Canadian Study Permit/Visa $1250, and CWS Visa Invitation $499, will be facilitated by the CWS immigration department.
