Creating Pathways to Success
Guidance and Career Education is mandated in our schools through a Ministry of Education Policy Document called “Creating Pathways To Success”. Creating Pathways to Success sets out the new career development policy for Ontario schools, which involves the implementation of a comprehensive Kindergarten to Grade 12 education and career/life planning program designed to help students achieve their personal goals and become competent, successful, and contributing members of society. This is a whole-school program delivered through classroom instruction linked to the curriculum and through broader school programs and activities.
The program framework is a four-step inquiry process built on four questions linked to the
four areas of learning in education and career/life planning – Knowing Yourself; Exploring Opportunities; Making Decisions and Setting Goals; and Achieving Goals and Making Transitions.

We look forward to working with you and your children this school year.
