	Ontario Academic Credit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ontario Academic Credit (OAC) was part of the curriculum(s) codified by the Ontario Ministry of Education in Ontario Schools: Intermediate and Senior (OS:IS, oh-sis) and its revisions.
		OAC courses were the highest level courses in Ontario high schools until the formal elimination of the Ontario Academic Credit.
		Informally, OAC is used to refer to the OS:IS curriculum and Grade 12 is used to refer to the OSS curriculum in discussions of the double-cohort.

		Ontario is bounded on the north by Hudson Bay and James Bay, on the east by Quebec, on the west by Manitoba, and on the south by the U.S. states of Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York.
		Ontario shares with bordering states, namely Lakes Superior, Huron (which includes Georgian Bay), Erie, and Ontario (for which the province is named; the name Ontario itself is a corruption of the Iroquois word "Onitariio" meaning "beautiful lake" or "Kanadario," variously translated as "beautiful water").
		Ontario's right to Northwestern Ontario was determined by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in 1884 and confirmed by the Canada (Ontario Boundary) Act, 1889 of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

	Ontario Academic Credit - Gurupedia
		The Ontario Academic Credit, usually referred to as OAC or grade thirteen, was, until 2003, the final year of Ontario High School.
		OAC replaced grade 13, and more formally allowed for the completion of schooling after only 12 grades, where previously this was an exceptional circumstance.
		The elimination of the OAC year in 2003 produced a double cohort caused by both the last OAC class and an entire class of grade twelve students graduating in the same year.

	Response to the Education Tax Credit Discussion Paper
		We know that the Education Tax Credit is a $3,500 voucher for parents who choose to send their children to private or religious schools.
		The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario believes that this private school tuition tax credit is clearly designed to destabilize public education and pave the way for significant expansion of private education in Ontario.
		In 2000 and 2001, almost one-third of our Ontario Academic Credit (OAC) graduates ranked as Ontario Scholars for achieving an average of at least 80% in their top six OAC courses.

		In Sept. 2003, Ontario’s post-secondary institutions will experience an unprecedented boom in applications when the elimination of the Ontario Academic Credit (OAC) causes the last students from the old five-year program and the new four-year program to enter university at the same time.

		A poll that was conducted in the region by the Feedback Research Corporation for the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA), found that 75 per cent of Niagara residents are “somewhat or very concerned” about the possibility of their children receiving post-secondary education.
