Welcome to CSM 's Senior School - Milan’s top choice for international high school education, offering both the IB Diploma and the Ontario Secondary School Diploma to prepare students for success at top global universities.

 

Welcome to the Senior School at the Canadian School of Milan—a vibrant and inclusive learning community where curiosity, critical thinking, and student voice are at the heart of the educational experience. Here, students are empowered to take ownership of their learning, challenge themselves academically, and grow as thoughtful, principled individuals ready to lead with purpose in an ever-changing world.

Anchored in the academically rigorous International Baccalaureate programmes and enriched by CSM’s own signature initiatives, our approach combines academic excellence with real-world relevance. Students benefit from an inspiring team of educators, a strong focus on experiential learning, and a culture that values integrity, leadership, and global citizenship.

Through engaging academics, collaborative projects, and community-building experiences, our students not only develop the skills to succeed at top universities—they grow into confident, compassionate leaders ready to make a difference.

The Senior School consists of:  

1. Grade 9 and 10: the last two years of the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP); followed by
2. Grade 11 and 12 with 2 pathways: IB Diploma Programme (DP) or Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD)

In these last four years of school at CSM, our students embrace new challenges as they explore a rich and relevant curriculum. They are prompted to think critically and creatively, developing the skills needed to find solutions to real-world problems and elaborately expressing their opinions.

At CSM one can sense the feeling of the many benefits of being part of a small school community, whether it is students engaging in House challenges and fundraising for the less fortunate, older students mentoring younger ones, or teachers guiding students one-on-one through their Personal Projects and Extended Essays.
