The world is changing, and the needs of our students are changing with it. Increasingly, universities (and employers) are looking for candidates that offer more than just a stellar academic record – they are looking for confident, creative and vibrant individuals who understand the need for we as opposed to me. The Pathways Program is an ideal start for tomorrow’s leaders.

The Pathways Program promotes a focus on leadership skills through the integration of thematic units of study, cross-curricular connections, enrichment activities and field trips (including annual overnight field trips when permitted under health and safety guidelines), and community service. Parents should be aware that some of these activities may have field trip costs associated with them. For the 2024/25 school year, there will be a program fee of $400  (This cost does not cover overnight trips)
