What's good about OSSD?

Advantage 1: No Public Examinations

With the OSSD curriculum, students can directly apply to universities based on their average grades in six subjects in Grade 12 (Form 6) of Canadian high school

Advantage 2: Credit Transfer

The OSSD curriculum allows for the transfer of in-school grades from global secondary schools (Grade 9 to Grade 11). This means that students who have completed studies in other countries can have their academic achievements recognized and converted into Canadian credits. This feature facilitates the smooth integration of students into the OSSD program, ensuring that their previous educational efforts are acknowledged and accounted for in the Canadian education system

Advantage 3: Cost Savings

The OSSD curriculum is offered in a blended learning format, combining both online and in-person instruction. This approach offers several advantages, including cost savings on living expenses for studying abroad. Students can have the flexibility to learn from home or choose the duration of their stay in Canada, allowing for more control over their education and minimizing expenses associated with full-time relocation. Additionally, parents can stay informed about their children's learning progress through regular communication with teachers and access to online platforms, enabling them to actively participate in their children's education regardless of their geographical location

Advantage 4: One-stop Service

The OSSD curriculum provides comprehensive support throughout the entire process, from enrollment in Hong Kong to remote learning, applying for a study permit when going to Canada, and even assistance with university course selection. Students receive guidance and support in each step of their educational journey. The OSSD program ensures that students have access to the necessary resources, information, and assistance to make informed decisions and navigate the various stages of their education smoothly. Whether it's helping with administrative tasks, providing guidance on academic planning, or offering support during the university application process, the OSSD curriculum strives to provide students with comprehensive support to ensure their success and a hassle-free experience
