Provincial Literacy Requirement 

Along with the compulsory credits, students earn 12 credits in optional courses.  Pay close attention to post-secondary requirements and recommendations when selecting optional courses. 

The community involvement requirement encourages students to develop awareness and understanding of civic responsibility and of the role they can play in supporting and strengthening their communities.

Students complete the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test in Grade 10.  Students have two attempts but those who are unsuccessful can enrol in OLC4OR.
