What are Pathways?
Pathways are roadmaps for students to help determine high school electives, future fields of employment, and/or post-secondary opportunities. By participating in a pathway, students complete a standard Grade 12 Diploma with all elective classes being tied to their chosen pathway.
Beginning in Grade 10, each student at Scott Collegiate will be a part of a pathway. This decision is made at the end of Grade 9. The 4 pathways are:
- Construction
- Food Tourism & Hospitality
- Communication Media Arts
- Leadership
