July 4th to August 1st, 2026 (4 weeks)
Join us for the 2026 Summer School Program in the heart of Toronto, open for international students between the ages of 14-17. As part of the Keystone School Summer Program, students will receive an Ontario Education Number (OEN), officially registering them in the Ontario education system. Upon successful completion of the program, students will earn an Ontario Secondary School credit toward the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). Keystone School will provide an academic transcript recognized by the Ontario Ministry of Education, listing their completed courses. This credit and transcript are valuable credentials for students pursuing further education in Canada or abroad.
This unique summer program invites students to experience life in Canada while earning two Ontario Secondary School credits — Career Studies (GLC2O) and Civics & Citizenship (CHV2O) — officially recorded on the Ontario Student Transcript (OST).
Morning sessions feature interactive, project-based lessons; afternoons include supervised volunteer placements and curated excursions that bring learning to life. Students build leadership skills, gain community experience, and discover Canadian culture while developing a strong sense of global citizenship.
