What
is a Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM)?
Specialist
High Skills Majors let students focus on a career path that matches their
skills and interests while meeting the requirements of the Ontario Secondary
School Diploma (OSSD). Students complete a bundle of courses and gain valuable
work experience through Co-op. SHSM programs lead to all post-secondary
pathways – university, college, apprenticeship, and the workplace.
At
Bayview Secondary School, we offer three SHSM Sectors: Business, Health &
Wellness and Non-Profit. Students can apply to be part of our SHSM
program in their Grade 10 year for completion in Grade 11 and 12.
