Within each area of study, there are a variety of courses that students can choose to take, depending on their interests and career goals. The curriculum also includes requirements for physical education, the arts, and other elective courses, as well as opportunities for students to participate in co-curricular activities, such as sports teams, clubs, and volunteer work.
The Ontario Secondary School Curriculum is regularly reviewed and updated to ensure that it remains relevant and effective in preparing students for the challenges of the 21st century.

The evaluation will determine the total credit equivalency of the student’s previous learning and the number of compulsory and optional credits still required to obtain an Ontario Secondary School Diploma. The school principal will conduct the evaluation using the guidelines set by the Ontario Ministry of Education document, Ontario Schools: Kindergarten to Grade 12, Policy and Program Requirements (2011).
