Aduvie Pre-University College has now been approved by the -Ontario Ministry of Education, Canada, to run the Ontario Secondary School Diploma in Nigeria in partnership with Bronston Canadian Academy, Ontario.
OSSD -Ontario Secondary School Diploma is the secondary school graduation diploma required to gain admission into universities in Canada. It is also accepted worldwide as a university entry requirement.
In order to earn an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), a student must earn a minimum of 30 credits, including 18 compulsory credits and 12 optional credits.
Students must also complete 40 hours of community involvement activities and must pass the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test, or successfully complete the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Course (OSSLC).
According to Head of Schoool, Aduvie International School, Mr Olusoji Abiodun, the benefits of the partnership includes “Our Pre-University students get an Ontario Student Number (OSN), which is Canadian Student Trademark.’’
The classes, assessment (OSSLT) and community involvement work would be done here at Aduvie under the supervision of Ontario Education Quality and Accountability Office, which will save parents from the foreign exchange cost of sending their wards to Canada.
“Students who undergo this program are eligible to scholarship not less than 4000 Canadian Dollars (CAD$) in any Canadian University due to the standard of the programme.
Student’s WAEC/NECO/IGCSE result or faculty does not matter as Ontario diploma allows students move from non-science courses to science courses and vice versa; and also overrides O’Level results.
Olusoji said students get accustomed to Canadian Higher Education style of learning which is different from the UK/Nigeria style, thus when they move to Canada, the academic transition is seamless, adding that this program also takes care of the whole process of securing the child’s admission and providing career services.
