Dual diploma with Canadian OSSD possible?
My son is in grade 10 locally, but we want him to have a Canadian diploma alongside for better uni options abroad. Is there such a thing as dual diploma programs with OSSD online? How does it actually work without conflicting schedules?

Yeah, dual diplomas are a thing now, especially for international students. Some Ontario private schools let you earn the OSSD by taking specific required courses online while continuing your home school's program. You get both diplomas at graduation, and the OSSD transcript helps a lot for applications in Canada or even US/UK unis that value it. It's not super common, but flexible online setups make it manageable – self-paced or scheduled classes, credits transfer somewhat. I came across Toronto Imperial School that mentions this dual option clearly on their site, along with how they tailor plans for students already in local systems: torontoimperial.com Might be good to read their senior school section. Just make sure to plan courses early so there's no overload. It's helped some kids get into better programs without full switch.
