Indigenous Languages and International Languages - Secondary Students

Did you know there are many benefits to taking credit language courses?

International Languages Secondary Courses can be applied toward the Ontario Secondary Diploma as a Group 1 - Compulsory or as an Elective Credit.

Students in the Secondary International Languages program can earn up to three credits towards graduation.

If students successfully complete the Level D - University course, it can be used as one of their top six marks for post-secondary entry. For example, if a student takes Spanish Level B, C and D, the student can submit their Level D mark as one of the top six marks for post-secondary applications.

 Secondary Credit Courses (Grades 9 to 12):

  • The program is delivered virtually through synchronous learning, supported by asynchronous activities. 
  • Please continue to check our webpage for updates.

Courses run from October to June.

The program is open to students, grades 9 to 12, first language speakers and non-first language speakers.

Students must attend the first day of class to secure their position in the course. 

A $20.00 consumable fee is collected in the third class, with more information provided at a later date.

Any book fees will be collected during class hours as required. Students will be responsible for purchasing the course textbook/course packs, which will be sold in September.

International fee-paying visa students are required to pay an additional $520 fee to participate in the program.

A prerequisite is not required for a Level B course. Level B is a prerequisites for a Level C course of the same language. Level C is a prerequisites for a Level D course of the same language. Students must have the required prerequisite course in order to enrol in a Level C or Level D course regardless of fluency.

Official written proof of successful completion of Level B or C in Ontario, or an Official Report Card from an accredited institution that demonstrates successful completion of a course equivalent to Level B or C in the language must be presented to home school Guidance staff and/or the Indigenous Languages and International Languages Principal.

Advance standing is only granted to students who have recently arrived (6-12 months) in Ontario and have an equivalent course prerequisite from the home province/country. If you are uncertain, please do not hesitate to consult us via email at ILIL@yrdsb.ca.
