Ontario Secondary School Diploma

The Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) is a certification awarded to students who complete the required coursework, credits, and mandatory education standards set by Ontario’s Ministry of Education. It signifies that a student has met the necessary academic and practical requirements to graduate from high school in Ontario. To earn the diploma, students typically need to complete a specified number of credits in subjects like math, science, language, and arts, as well as fulfill community service or engagement hours. The OSSD is a prerequisite for post-secondary education and employment opportunities within and outside Ontario.
