Course descriptions

Historical OSSD credit program

The still-accessible school website describes a four-year Grades 9–12 program leading to the OSSD. The Ministry currently lists BSID 884506 as closed (2021–22); do not interpret this as a current offer.

Historical foundation and AP programs

The website describes a six-credit foundation program and AP courses in Mathematics, Computer Science and English for university preparation. Current availability is not verified because the school is recorded as closed.

Historical English-language and test preparation

The website describes language training and a 12-week IELTS, TOEFL or CAEL preparation course. This is preserved as a historical published description, not a current enrollment offer.
