Pathways & Learning Model

Pathways

Pathways are structured sequences of courses and experiences that allow students to explore and go deeper in a specific field. They may include:

  • CTS credits
  • Career exploration
  • Dual credit (earning both high school and post-secondary credits)

Current pathways include:

  • Aviation
  • Business & Entrepreneurship
  • Animal Sciences
  • Health Sciences
  • Skilled Trades
  • Discovery & Exploration

Grade 10 is intentionally designed as a year of high exploration. Students are encouraged to experience different fields, discover their interests, and build confidence before specializing more deeply in later grades.

Additional Option Courses

Based on student interest and teacher availability, options may include:

  • Leadership
  • Graphic Design
  • Art
  • Drama
  • Learning Strategies
  • Computer Science

That’s completely okay. Many students are still exploring their interests. We offer specially designed off-campus learning experiences and career exploration opportunities to help students discover what excites them. Our team works closely with students to design experiences that build clarity and confidence.

Yes, students may switch pathways if space is available. We recognize that interests evolve, and we aim to support students as they refine their goals.

Dual credit allows students to earn both high school and post-secondary credits at the same time.

There are no tuition fees for dual credit courses.

Gap Year Programming

Gap Year students are individuals who have completed high school and are seeking support in their next steps. This includes:
 
  • Graduates upgrading courses

We meet with each student to create a personalized plan that supports their transition into post-secondary education, training, or skilled employment. We also help students who are still exploring what they want to pursue. Plans are flexible and no two plans need to look the same. We work to design a schedule and plan that works for you!
