The Ontario Scholar Program (OS 6.6) The Ontario Scholar Program recognizes students who have earned an Ontario Secondary School Diploma in the current or previous school year and who have attained an aggregate of at least 480 marks in any combination of ministry approved courses that provide a total of 6 credits. Upon the recommendation of their Principal, these graduating students receive a certificate from the Ministry of Education. Approved courses include: • any Grade 12 university preparation, university/ college preparation, college preparation, workplace preparation, and/or open courses authorized under OSS, including locally developed courses approved by the ministry; • cooperative education courses related to any of the above courses; and • dual credit courses in college-delivered dual credit programs approved by the ministry.

Requirements for the Certificate Of Accomplishment (OS 6.4)

Students who are leaving secondary school upon reaching the age of 18 without having met the requirements for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma or the Ontario Secondary School Certificate may be granted a Certificate of Accomplishment. This certificate may be a useful means of recognizing achievement for students who plan to take certain kinds of further training, or who plan to find employment directly after leaving school. The Certificate of Accomplishment is to be accompanied by the student’s Ontario Student Transcript. For students who have an Individual Education Plan (IEP), a copy of the IEP may be included. Students who return to school to complete additional credit and non-credit courses (including courses with modified or alternative expectations in special education programs) will have their transcripts updated but will not be issued a new Certificate of Accomplishment. The Ontario Secondary School Diploma or Ontario Secondary School Certificate will be granted when a student has fulfilled the appropriate requirements. (Canada. Ministry of Education, Ontario. Policy and Program. Ontario Schools Kindergarten to Grade 12 : Policy and Program Requirements. Toronto: Ministry of Education, 2016. Print. Section 6.4 p 68) On the recommendation of the Principal, the Minister of Education grants diplomas and certificates at any time during the year to students who have successfully completed the necessary requirements. The diploma or certificate will be issued by the Principal of the school that holds the student’s Ontario Student Record when the final credit is earned. If the final credit is earned through the Independent Learning Centre, the student may choose to have the diploma or certificate issued by the director of the Independent Learning Centre or the Principal of the school last attended. The person issuing the diploma or certificate will submit the necessary report to the Ministry of Education. (Canada. Ministry of Education, Ontario. Policy and Program. Ontario Schools Kindergarten to Grade 12 : Policy and Program Requirements. Toronto: Ministry of Education, 2016. Print. Section 6.5 p 69) The Granting of the Diploma and Certificates (OS 6.5)

Secondary School Courses and Related Procedures (OS 7)

The secondary school program is designed to provide all students with the fundamental knowledge and skills they will need in any area of endeavour as well as the opportunity to specialize in and/or explore areas related to their postsecondary goals and personal interests. This program keeps options open for students in the earlier grades and prepares them in the senior grades for their postsecondary destinations. Course selection for students under the age of 18 must be made with parental approval except in the case of 16 or 17 year old students who have withdrawn from parental control.
