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.
