RCIC which delivers the Cambridge curriculum, will extend its academic pathway through senior secondary for the first time by offering the OSSD<\/p>\n

Bringing the OSSD to RCIC isn’t just about adding a program \u2014 it’s about giving our community a complete academic journey, without ever having to leave home\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Tola Najm, General Manager, RCIC<\/p>\n

SULAYMANIYAH, KURDISTAN REGION, IRAQ, September 3, 2026 \/EINPresswire.com<\/a>\/ — Royal Canadian International Community<\/a> (RCIC), an international school serving the Kurdistan Region since 2025, today announced a new partnership with Rosedale International Education<\/a> to deliver the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (Rosedale OSSD<\/a>), extending the school’s academic pathway through senior secondary for the first time. <\/p>\n

RCIC currently delivers the Cambridge International curriculum from Early Years through Cambridge Lower Secondary (Grade 8), after which students have historically transitioned to other institutions to complete their secondary studies. Through this partnership, RCIC will introduce the OSSD as its own in-house senior secondary pathway, allowing students to continue their education at RCIC through graduation while earning a globally recognized Canadian diploma with direct routes to universities in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and beyond. <\/p>\n

“Since our founding in 2025, we’ve built a Cambridge curriculum framework that families in Sulaymaniyah trust \u2014 but we were worried that we would have to say goodbye to our students after Grade 8. This partnership will change that. Soon, we will be able to walk alongside our students all the way to graduation and send them into the world with a diploma that opens doors at universities everywhere.” \u2014 Sarwar Mahmood, Principal, Royal Canadian International Community <\/p>\n

Under the agreement, RCIC’s own teaching staff will deliver day-to-day instruction, while Rosedale’s Ontario-certified educators oversee academic evaluation and credentialing, ensuring full compliance with Ontario Ministry of Education standards. <\/p>\n

Rosedale International Education, a leading provider of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma to international students, supports schools across 19+ countries through its Rosedale Global School Network. <\/p>\n

“Since opening in 2025, RCIC has established a strong presence in Sulaymaniyah, and we are excited to support the school as it expands its academic pathways through the OSSD. Together, we are creating new opportunities for students to continue their education through graduation and bringing the Rosedale OSSD to Iraq for the first time.” \u2014 Ravi Kumar, Regional Head, Global Education Partnerships, Rosedale International Education <\/p>\n

The inaugural OSSD cohort is targeted for 2027 – 2028, with enrollment open from July 1st, 2027. Information sessions for interested families will begin May 1st, 2027. <\/p>\n
