The beginning of the school year is traditionally a time for students, parents, and teachers to get acquainted with the learning expectations and to lay the groundwork for a productive school year for academic achievement, learning skills, and developing work habits.
For students graduating in elementary or middle school, however, the beginning of the school year is a time for transitional planning. It is during this time that parents should receive information about admissions for specialized program options, including:
- Advanced Placement (AP) for enriched curriculum or advanced standing at university.
- International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma for pre-university preparation and internationally recognized credits.
- Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) Program diplomas in Arts and Culture, Health & Wellness, Information’s and Communications Tech, Non-Profit
Parents can navigate these programs through their local school boards. See below for your regional school board options:
- Peel District School Board (PDSB)
- Toronto District School Board (TDSB)
- Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB)
- York Region District School Board (YRDSB)
Students enrolled in these programs have the opportunity to benefit from tailored learning and development towards a future career path that matches their skills and interests.
