The education system in the province of Ontario requires four years of study (grades 9 - 12) to obtain an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). To earn an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) you must:

- earn 18 compulsory credits,
- earn 12 optional credits,
- complete 40 hours of community involvement, and
- pass the provincial secondary school literacy test.

A discussion with an Archer counsellor will help place you in the correct level to enable you to complete your High School Diploma (OSSD) and/or to prepare for university or college entrance.
