Outstanding International Academy (OIA) is a Canadian-based private high school operating under the Outstanding International Education Group (OIEG) in Toronto, Ontario. OIA delivers the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), one of the most globally respected secondary school credentials in the world, through both in-person and online platforms, making it accessible to students anywhere in the world.
The OSSD is awarded by the Ontario Ministry of Education and is recognised for university admission across Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, and many Commonwealth countries. Students must complete a minimum of 30 credits over four years, pass the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test, and complete 40 hours of community involvement. The curriculum spans the arts, sciences, humanities, and social sciences, all taught at the university preparation level.
For Atlantic Hall students, this partnership creates a powerful Canadian academic pathway. By earning the OSSD through OIA, students gain a credential that places them on equal footing with Canadian secondary school graduates, significantly improving their prospects for admission to top universities in Canada, including Carleton University and its Sprott School of Business.

Every OSSD student is assigned a unique Ontario Education Number (OEN), marking them as Canadian students.

The OSSD is recognized worldwide, eliminating the need for A-Levels or foundation degrees for students applying to competitive schools.
The OSSD program is designed to cater to students with special needs, as well as competitive athletes.
Students meeting Ontario’s eligibility criteria are guaranteed university placements in top institutions across Canada, the UK, Australia, the US, and beyond.
