Grade 9 Transitions

Choosing your future path is one of the most important decisions you have to make and education is a valuable companion throughout your journey.

Every student has unique interests, goals and strengths, and each student should be given the same opportunity to succeed in high school.

Support programs are at the heart of our student success initiative. They give high school students more ways to accumulate credits to graduate. Students can customize their high school experience around learning that's relevant to them. And that can make all the difference to their individual success.
