How many total mathematics credits are required for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD)? 

Three mathematics credits (one at the senior level—grade 11 and/or 12) are required. 

If I do not do well in the grade 9 destreamed should I continue with Academic grade 10?

You are advised to take a mathematics course in the level in which you will be most successful. Think about your ability, interests, and future career options. In Grade 10 we offer a grade 10 essential, a grade 10 applied, a grade 10 academic and a grade 10 pre-ap.

If I plan to go to University, do I have to take Academic math? 

No. Only math-based University programs require Academic mathematics. If all of your courses are at the Academic/University level and only your math courses are at the Applied/College level, then you may apply to a non-math related program (e.g., Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences). Students must check admissions requirements for post secondary university programs.

Do I have to take all my core subjects at the same level? 

No. You may take a combination of LDCC, Applied and/or Academic courses depending on your strengths.
