Courses for Grades 9–12 – OSSD Credits & Upgrading
Canadian Virtual School offers the full range of courses for Grades 9 through 12, so that Greater Sudbury students can earn every credit needed for their OSSD remotely. You’ll find all the core subjects – English, Math, Science, History and more – as well as a wide selection of electives. Every course aligns with the Ontario curriculum and is taught to the same standards as in any brick-and-mortar school. Whether you’re in Greater Sudbury or elsewhere in Ontario, you can complete our courses at your own pace and receive an official credit toward your diploma.
In addition to full-time online students, many Sudbury teens use CVS for individual courses. You can take a single course for specific needs like credit recovery or upgrading – for example, retaking a class to improve your mark – or to study a subject not offered at your local school. Our flexible program allows you to catch up on missed credits or get ahead of schedule if you want to fast-track graduation. Every course you complete through CVS is recorded on an official report card and counts toward your OSSD, just as it would at any other school.

Canadian Virtual School is a fully accredited private online high school, regularly inspected by the Ontario Ministry of Education. Families in Greater Sudbury can rest assured that CVS meets all provincial requirements for curriculum and instruction. An OSSD earned through our school is 100% equivalent to one earned at any public or Catholic high school. We undergo the same inspections as any brick-and-mortar school, so your education is held to Ontario’s highest standards.
As a result, credits from CVS are recognized by all colleges and universities. Greater Sudbury students who graduate from Canadian Virtual School receive the same Ontario Secondary School Diploma as any other student in the province. You can apply to post-secondary institutions with confidence. Whether you plan to attend a local school like Laurentian University or Cambrian College, or any other university in Canada or abroad, your online OSSD will be accepted and respected by admissions offices.
How Online Education Works – Flexible, Asynchronous Learning
At Canadian Virtual School, learning is designed to be flexible and asynchronous. This means Greater Sudbury students can log into their courses anytime that suits them – there are no scheduled class times you must attend. You’ll access interactive lessons, videos, and assignments through our online platform, which is available 24/7. Study from home, the library, or anywhere you have internet, and progress through the material at your own pace.
Even though you’re learning online, you’re not on your own. Ontario-certified teachers lead each course, grade your assignments, and provide feedback to help you improve. If you have questions or need clarification, you can reach out to your teacher via email or the course messaging system – they’re there to support Sudbury students just like teachers in a classroom. We also have guidance counselors and support staff available to assist with course selection, academic advice, and any issues that come up during your studies.

Students who need to catch up or get ahead: If you need to recover a credit or want to graduate early, CVS lets you complete extra courses on your own timeline. Sudbury students can catch up on missed requirements or fast-track their graduation without being held back by the traditional school calendar.

Many students enroll in a CVS course (for example, over the summer) while still attending their local school for other classes. This way, you won’t miss out on any subject you’re interested in.
Adult learners: If you’re an adult in Greater Sudbury who didn’t finish high school, CVS gives you the chance to earn the credits you need to graduate. It’s never too late – you can study on a schedule that fits your life, balancing coursework with work or family responsibilities while you complete your diploma.
