OSSD Diploma: Empowering Your
Future with High-Quality Education

The Ontario

Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) is a valuable credential that can benefit both Vietnamese and foreign students living in Vietnam in several ways.
For Vietnamese students, the OSSD is recognized as an entrance requirement for universities across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and other countries around the world. This means that students who hold an OSSD have access to a wide range of higher education opportunities, including some of the top-ranked universities in the world. This is particularly advantageous for Vietnamese students who want to pursue higher education abroad and increase their chances of being accepted to top universities.

The OSSD at Hanoi Toronto School is delivered through our sister-school, Lynn-Rose College.

  • The OSSD can also benefit foreign students living in Vietnam who are interested in pursuing higher education in Canada or other countries. By completing their secondary education in Ontario and earning the OSSD, these students can demonstrate their academic proficiency and increase their chances of being accepted to top universities. In addition, the OSSD can help foreign students save time and money when applying to universities in other countries. For example, students who hold an OSSD are exempt from writing exit examinations for admission to universities in Australia and New Zealand, and many English-speaking universities throughout Asia exempt students from the IELTS requirement if they have obtained a minimum mark of 85% in ENG4U (Grade 12 English).
  • Another benefit of achieving an OSSD diploma is that it demonstrates a student’s proficiency in English. Since English is the primary language of instruction in Canadian schools, students who complete their secondary education in Ontario have a solid foundation in the language. This can be particularly beneficial for both Vietnamese and foreign students living in Vietnam who want to pursue higher education in English-speaking countries or work in international settings.
