Eligibility to be considered a team member

[Mark Sheridan]

countries besides the USA can have 5 years of high school. Some of my friends had this option in Ontario and took the extra year. Its getting pretty rare now to see that in Ontario. I think some of my cousins in Quebec are doing this but I forget.

I have not lived in Canada for a while, so I don't know the current systems.

Well, cant American students technically have 6 years of eligibility if they attend a Junior/Senior High School?

In Ontario, 5 years of high school through grade 13 was standard until some point in the 1980s. Then it was changed to 4 years through grade 12 for everyone + 1 year of OAC (Ontario academic credit) for university-bound students only. In 2003, the grade 12 class (which had been using a different, updated curriculum for the last few years) graduated alongside the last OAC class. At the time, Ontario was the last jurisdiction in the U.S. or Canada to have a 5th year of high school.
