Pathways and learning for all
Future planning
School staff work together with students and parents/guardians to help them create an individual pathway plan (IPP). Encouraging your teen to try a range of programs and courses, and valuing all post-secondary pathways (apprenticeship, college, university, and workplace), will help keep options open for your teen. Students will be more driven and motivated if they’re encouraged to pursue a pathway and discipline that aligns with their own interests.
Pathways
There are five post-secondary pathways that students may choose: apprenticeship, college, community, university and work. The SCDSB offers programs and resources to support students in achieving their goals, no matter what pathway they choose.
It is important to keep in mind that pathways are individual, flexible and dynamic. Pathways may be straight and direct, or they may also take some turns or bends along the way. There is always more than one way to reach the final destination, and every student’s pathway is unique to that student.
