Path to Graduation
The Quality Schools International Secondary curriculum and course offerings are
comprised of a required program of studies that prepares students for university
entrance. Electives are designed to enhance our program and to allow students the
flexibility to discover and nurture their abilities and interests.
There are four years in our Secondary program. Students starting in their first year of
Secondary with QSI will start from the beginning of our program typically when they are
14 years of age and graduating when they are 18 years of age. Students transferring into
our Secondary program will have their previous school transcripts/records evaluated
to determine where they should be placed. All new students will also undergo a
wide-range of assessments to make sure that the correct placement is assigned. Our
Secondary program accepts students who are still learning English. However, it may
take some students learning English longer to complete our program requirements.
