Frequently Asked Questions
How am I supported?
As a double diploma student, you work independently, but you have a teacher who guides you through the material, marks assignments, gives feedback, and is available for questions. Students usually meet with their teacher once a week.
Do I receive the same diploma (OSSD) as students studying in person?
Yes, you will receive exactly the same diploma as students completing the material in person.
How much time do I have to spend?
In general, students spend between four and six hours per week on each course, though it depends on how quickly and efficiently they work. The program is designed to combine with full-time high school studies at their homeschool. The key is consistency.
