Perfect for internationally minded families who want Canadian school curriculum and also, seeking academic rigor and English fluency. 


Ontario Integrated Program (OIP)
 

A bilingual English–Vietnamese pathway where students graduate with both the OSSD and the Vietnamese High School Diploma. Ideal for families who want their children to be globally competitive while staying rooted in local language and values.
