The Garda School follows an Ontario-style curriculum, rooted in the Canadian tradition of rigorous academics, balanced learning, and well-rounded development.
We are not an International Baccalaureate (IB) school. While our program offers the same academic challenge and global perspective, we also provide greater flexibility and personalization. Our approach allows us to tailor learning pathways to each student’s strengths, interests, and future goals. This balance of rigour and adaptability ensures students are well prepared for top universities worldwide, while also developing as confident, curious, and well-rounded individuals.
At the high school-level, through Canadian College Italy, which is accredited and inspected annually by the Ministry of Education in the province of Ontario, our students follow the Ontario curriculum and, upon successful completion, earn the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). This internationally recognized credential is respected by leading universities across the globe, including in Canada, the UK, the United States, and Europe.
