COLA's small focused ENL1W and CHV2O inspection cohort is filled and being finalized for September 8, 2026. Families may request information about future course availability. A public inquiry does not constitute enrolment.

Families in Canada and internationally may request information about COLA's planned Ontario curriculum courses. The focused initial inspection cohort consists of Grade 9/10 learners in ENL1W and CHV2O. COLA cannot grant or record an OSSD credit unless and until written authority is received.

Students outside Canada may submit an expression of interest for future planned course availability. Eligibility, prerequisites, student-record arrangements and any authorized enrolment terms must be confirmed before course access. An expression of interest is not enrolment and does not guarantee an OSSD credit.

ENL1W and CHV2O have no prerequisite. Any records needed for legitimate admission, placement or future-course guidance are requested through a secure process, not a public website form.

COLA does not automatically hold or establish an original OSR merely because a learner takes one supplementary course. For a concurrent Ontario student, COLA will securely provide required results to the verified OSR-holding school. For a homeschooled learner with no verified OSR holder, COLA will maintain the required course-level record and establish the applicable OST arrangement, or follow written Ministry direction, before reporting an inspected credit.

The Ontario Secondary School Diploma is the credential Ontario secondary schools award once a student meets Ministry graduation requirements.

Yes. Families in Canada and internationally may request information about ENL1W, CHV2O or future guidance. A website inquiry is not enrolment and does not guarantee an OSSD credit. The current inspection cohort is filled and being finalized.
