High School Credit

Did you know that you can earn a high school credit during your Outward Bound Canada adventure?

Outward Bound Canada is an Ontario Ministry of Education inspected Independent School, and a provider of External Credits in British Columbia. We offer students 15-years-old or older the opportunity to earn high school credits upon successful completion of most Outward Bound Canada courses of 14 days or longer. That means youth can earn credit while canoeing in Algonquin Park, hiking the Rocky Mountains, or kayaking along the West Coast. Furthermore, because some of our courses also include a “give-back” service project, students are eligible to apply these hours to their compulsory community involvement requirement for Ontario high school graduation.

Credits obtained through Outward Bound Canada courses are in many cases transferrable to schools outside of Ontario (e.g. in other provinces), subject to the school’s acceptance.  Please discuss credit transfer with the guidance counselor at your school.

Inspected and approved by the Ontario Ministry of Education, our current high school credit options include:

• Grade 12 Healthy Active Living (PAD4O)
  – Available on most courses
• Grade 11 Leadership and Peer Support (GPP3O)
  – Available on Ontario Wilderness 32-day Leadership
• Grade 12 Interdisciplinary Studies (IDC4O)
