Students need to complete a certain number of courses, do 40 hours of community service and pass a literacy test, the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) or Ontario Secondary School Literacy Course (OSSLC).

High school programs are on a credit-based system. Students must earn a minimum of 30 credits to obtain a high school diploma. Eighteen of the credits are compulsory, acquired in a specified number of courses from a list of subjects that every student must take. The remaining 12 credits are optional, earned in studies that the student may select from the school's full range of options and interests. In Grade 9, most students take eight courses and, if passed, will receive one credit for each of those classes.
