Student Success

The Student Success program helps students succeed in high school. Working in partnership with the Ontario Ministry of Education, the Student Success program aims to improve the learning experience for Grade 7 to 12 students, and especially those who are struggling, who need extra attention to help them graduate or who are looking for new challenges in high school.

Schools provide students with more opportunities to customize their high school experience and build on their strengths and interests through a variety of new and enhanced learning options.

Students can:

• benefit from individualized attention and support;

• choose from more options for learning, such as expanded co-operative education, Specialist High Skills Majors, dual credits, e-learning, Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Programs (OYAP) and Level 1 apprenticeship programs; and,

• seek help in solving problems they previously may have faced alone.

Student Success Teams

At each school, a dedicated team of a principal, student success teacher, school support counsellor, guidance counsellor and a special education teacher provides extra attention and support for individual students. The team assists students in selecting learning options towards their graduation requirements so they can earn their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and work towards other future goals.

For more information on the Student Success program, students should contact their guidance counsellor.
