Grade 11
Grade 11 is the third year of High School which is a part of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) certificate. To successfully complete Grade 11, students should achieve 7 Credit Points (3 Compulsory Credits + 4 Elective Credits) as part of the OSSD requirements. Further, students should take 3 Credit points [Computer literacy (1 cr) + Cognitive Skills Development (1 cr) + Sustainability (1 cr)] and Religious studies (non-credit) as part of the NIST Hybrid Curriculum (NHC).
