Online learning graduation requirement

Beginning with students that entered Grade 9 in the 2020-21 school year, students must earn at least two online learning credits to get their Ontario Secondary School Diploma.

Note that "Remote" learning credits such as those taken through the Continuing Education Summer School program DO NOT count as an online learning credit. Credits earned through the eLearning Summer School program do count towards this requirement.

Families may choose to opt out of this requirement. To do so please go to our Course Selection page.

For more information, visit the Government of Ontario’s High School Graduation Requirements site.

Students graduating are required to earn 40 hours of community service in order to meet their graduation requirement.
