Literacy Requirement

Introduction

Literacy Test

During the Grade 10 year, students will be given the opportunity to write the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT). Students must pass this test (or the OSSLC) in order to graduate. Students who have been eligible to write the OSSLT at least once, and who have been unsuccessful are eligible to take the Grade 12 Ontario Secondary School Literacy Course (OSSLC). When these students successfully complete the OSSLC, they will have met the provincial literacy requirements for graduation.
