About OSS
OSS is a rural 8-12 school in sunny Osoyoos. Our three-building campus overlooks Canada's warmest lake and our students spend plenty of time outside enjoying our terrific weather. For a small school, we have lots going on and pride ourselves on offering our students quality academics while remaining a close-knit school community. We also offer a wide range of elective options including automotives, robotics, drafting, woodwork, foods, musical theatre, computers and metal shop.Over half of our student population is involved in athletics whether it is on a school team or lunchtime intramurals. Students have the opportunity to be involved in many other ways including Drama club and Rattler Club. OSS also offers a sports academy program. In the spring, students have the opportunity to take part in the golf academy at Osoyoos Golf Club, which is a world class 36-hole course. If you would like more information about our academies, please contact the office.
We run a five-block non-rotating timetable at OSS with 61 minute classes. The five-block schedule allows us to offer more courses at OSS as each teacher teaches 8 courses rather than the traditional 7. Our students gain the benefits of small school, with small class sizes, combined with the course offerings of a larger school. Most students from grade 10-12 have at least one learning centre block which affords students time to work on assignments under the supervision of a teacher.
