Ontario Secondary School Diploma
The benefits of earning an OSSD.
The OSSD curriculum focuses on fostering 21st-century higher-order thinking skills and transformative competencies through intentional curriculum design, assessment, and teaching methods. According to the Ontario Ministry of Education, “The goal is to prepare students to solve messy, complex problems—including problems we don’t know about—associated with living in a competitive, globally connected, and technologically intensive world”.
In contrast to education programs focused on standardized testing, the OSSD curriculum employs a progressive evaluation model that assigns substantial weight to all term work in a student’s final grade. This approach offers students multiple, diverse opportunities to demonstrate their learning throughout each course.
The OSSD is a globally recognized education program and is consistently ranked among the world’s top education systems by the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), an international study conducted every three years by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to assess education systems worldwide.

Our Solutions
Innovative academic models for modern education
We provide a diverse range of programs tailored for the sports and arts market. These programs can be offered individually or combined to create a comprehensive educational package, ensuring flexibility and adaptability to meet various needs.
Partner with one of our campuses to deliver athletic or arts training as part of a day training program. Our students complete their studies by 1:30 PM, allowing them to dedicate their afternoons to training. This model is currently successful in several campuses, where students are shuttled from the campus to our partner facilities to receive additional training and coaching. This partnership leverages the availability of facilities and coaches in the afternoon, providing students with additional practice time over their peers.
For sports or arts organizations that want to provide academics on-site, we can establish a school at your facility. Our academic programming (grades 4-12) is designed to fit seamlessly with training schedules. This model helps organizations attract parents by offering top-notch education from a respected provider alongside their specialized training programs.
"Small class sizes, flexible schedules, and a strong working relationship with staff are key benefits. The biggest advantage is the liberty to hire individuals in dual roles, such as teacher and coach, which isn't possible with the Public Board due to seniority rules. Having on-site academics seamlessly integrates both hockey and school."
- Canadian International Hockey Academy
Through Blyth Academy Online (BAO), our asynchronous model, we offer affordable education for grades 5-12.
