OSSLT
The Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test ( OSSLT) is a proof of literacy achievement for all Ontario school students that must be completed successfully. It measures whether or not the student is meeting the standardized level of literacy till grade 10. The OSSLT is taken by the students in grade 10. If the student does not pass the OSSLT, he/she may write it again in subsequent years or take the Ontario Literacy Course ( in grade 12 after failed attempts). Students can use the EQAO website to practice for this test using the past literacy tests. The Fee to write an OSSLT is $190 as a M’Learnin Student Centre Student.

Reach Ahead
For Grade 8 students who display outstanding academic achievement during their middle school years, we offer a specialized student enrichment program that provides an early introduction to Grade 9 curriculum, allowing them to excel and advance their learning.
The Reach Ahead Program provides an exceptional opportunity for Grade 8 students to begin their secondary school journey early by enrolling in high school courses. With the approval of their elementary school principal, secondary school principal, and parental consent, students can take one or more secondary courses before officially entering high school.
This program offers several benefits:
Reduce Academic Demand: By completing a mandatory course early, students can lighten their academic load in their first year of high school.
Ease Transition: Participating in secondary courses helps students acclimate to the high school environment, easing the transition from elementary school.
Prepare for Rigor: The program allows students to recognize and prepare for the increased rigor of high school courses.
Greater Elective Choice: Completing compulsory courses early provides students with more options to choose elective courses in Grade 9, enriching their learning experience.
Upon entering Grade 9, the secondary school principal will take responsibility for recording the student's achievement and granting credits for the completed courses. This program is an excellent way for motivated students to get a head start on their high school education.
-
Who can take the course?Anyone! We offer courses to anyone ( high school student, mature student, or an international student) who is willing to complete credits towards their OSSD, from any school whether public or private, any background, any country, province, or city. Please note that all courses are offered in English language, and students should be able to read and write and comprehend in English language in order to succeed in their course.

Who will be communicating with my day school?M’Learnin Student Centre will communicate with your current school if you are taking any online courses with us, and we will mail the report card back to your school. All the credits earned will be added to your Ontario Student Transcript and filed in your Ontario Student records.
-
How does a repeated course show on my transcript?An “R” appears on the student’s OST (for the course with the lower mark). Please note, only one credit is still earned despite the fact that the student took it twice.
-
Where can I find the prerequisites?The student should make sure that they have the prerequisite course before they register for any course, as outlined by the Ministry of Education. The students can find out what course is a prerequisite in the course outline on the “Courses” page. It is the responsibility of students to provide the prerequisite required for the courses and confirm their eligibility prior to registering. To waive a prerequisite course, please email at register@learnincentre.com. The students must complete the courses within the 6-month time period. If the student needs to extend their time, please email admin, in order to prevent the removal from the course. For more info, please read the privacy policy.
-
When and for how long do I have access to my online course?Students who have registered will have access to their online course 24 hours and 7 days a week. Each course is expected to be completed within a time of 6 months. But we understand that each student works at a different pace so these courses can be completed within a time period as short as even 4 weeks to as long as 6 months, all up to the time and effort of the student.
-
Can I change my course?Yes, you can change a course after registration within 7 days ( upon availability).
-
Will universities and colleges accept these credits?Yes. As a ministry approved online high school, our credits are recognized by the universities and colleges just like any regular brick-and-mortar schools. Our curriculum is designed to meet the Ontario curriculum expectations, so students are in alignment with the Ontario education system and have no problem at all succeeding in their post-secondary education.
-
How will I send my marks to OUAC/OCAS?We will send your grades to OUAC/OCAS free of charge once you provide your reference number.
-
What if I would like to withdraw from a course?For any Grade 11 or 12 course, withdrawal within one week of the first report card being issued will result in the mark not being recorded on the OST. For any Grade 11 or 12 course, withdrawal after one week of the first report card will result in a “W” being entered in the “Credit” column of the OST( including mark). For Grade 9 or 10 courses, withdrawals are not recorded on the OST
-
Refund PolicyRefunds will be processed if requested within 24 hours of purchase OR at the discretion of the Principal if prior to 24 hours. Thereafter, no refunds will be provided due to the administrative nature that is required to establishing a student record in our system and granting access to the course content.
-
Can homeschool students take credit courses?Students intending to earn the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and seeking credit for courses completed via homeschooling must submit an Equivalent Credit Assessment Application. This procedure enables our Guidance Team to accurately integrate students into the Ontario education system, ensuring they don't need to repeat prerequisite coursework. Once the Equivalent Credit Assessment is finalized, students are expected to complete all remaining OSSD requirements at an Ontario high school. Without this assessment, any courses previously completed outside of an Ontario curriculum school will not be recognized towards the OSSD.
-
What is a prerequisite waiver?A prerequisite is a course that a student needs to complete before advancing to the next level in a particular subject. If a student has not previously attended a high school following the Ontario curriculum, they must fill out a Prerequisite Waiver Application. Our Guidance Team will evaluate the student's academic records to see if they have studied topics comparable to those in the Ontario curriculum for the specific subject. If the application is approved, the student may be allowed to enroll in their desired course.
