OSSLT Program
What is OSSLT?
The Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) measures whether or not students are meeting the minimum standard for literacy across all subjects up to the end of Grade 9. Successful completion of the literacy test is one of the requirements to earn an Ontario Secondary School Diploma. All students across the province write this test on the same date, usually in late March or early April each year.

Our instructors will provide coaching and feedback for how to obtain the best possible scores for each type of question.
