JOINT PROGRAM with VIET ANH

Program Overview

The Ontario Integrated Program is a collaborative educational initiative merging distinctive subjects from the Ontario curriculum with those mandated by the Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam (MOET). This program endeavors to furnish students from grade 6 to grade 12 with a comprehensive and diversified learning journey, leveraging the strengths of both education systems.

To implement this program, Toronto Academy of EMC is very pleased to partner with Viet Anh 3 Primary, Secondary, and High School, the pioneering institution in Binh Duong (Vietnam).

The most novel component of the Ontario Integrated Program is the OSSD Program (Ontario Secondary School Diploma Program), leading to the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD).

The OSSD offers students a distinct advantage, opening myriad avenues for pursuing further education at renowned institutions in Canada or internationally.

All subjects belonging to the Ontario curriculum will be taught exclusively in English by teachers who are carefully chosen and overseen by the Toronto Academy of EMC.
