SCDSB’s Pathways to Success is part of the province-wide Student Success Initiative. This program is designed to ensure the success of all students in Grades 7 to 12. Through customized curriculum, individual support and work placements in the community, this program values the dreams of all students and focuses on equal opportunities for success.

The Pathways to Success Program has four pillars:

Literacy
Literacy skills are at the heart of learning. Students are explicitly taught a repertoire of reading, writing and oral communication skills.

Mathematical Literacy
The latest thinking and research are applied to the way mathematics is taught and learned.

Program Pathways
Students have a right to an educational experience that respects and meets their needs and prepares them for the destination of their choice.

Community, Culture, Caring
This concentration on “character education” is one of the main goals of Catholic education. Our emphasis on the building of community, the study of scriptures, and the exploration of moral reasoning are all designed to form in the young person a strong moral character based on gospel values.
