At CIST, our students graduate equipped with the globally respected Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), a credential that opens doors to leading universities worldwide. As an internationally benchmarked qualification, the OSSD reflects not only academic achievement but also the skills, discipline, and readiness required for success in today’s world.

Our Upper School program is inspected annually by the Ontario Ministry of Education, ensuring that every credit earned meets the highest standards of Canadian educational excellence. This external validation allows CIST to confidently grant OSSD credits and ensures our students benefit from a rigorous, future-focused learning pathway.

Graduating with the OSSD means our students leave CIST prepared, empowered, and positioned to thrive in competitive university admissions and beyond. They carry with them the confidence, global awareness, and academic foundation needed to shape their futures with purpose.
