Each road, each path, will be different and we encourage our grads to do what they feel is right for them. Some know what they want to explore and study, and some do not. Both are equally acceptable, and we are here to help. February/March 2026 A one-on-one discussion will take place with each grade 10 student and at least one parent/guardian. The purpose of this is to ensure we are all on the same page. This discussion is to hear from the student, what their goals are and their thoughts on how to get there. Saying that, some students are unsure of what their next steps are, and we are there to help support and offer suggestions as is needed. Sign up details to come shortly via email. Entrance Requirements for Universities Entrance requirements for post-secondary programs are available online through each university website. Some websites are better than others and it requires students to do some research. This is not negotiable. The student is the one who will be attending the post-secondary institution and, therefore, must be at the center of this process---with us guiding and advising along the way. Thus, research on post-secondary programs, prior to submission of the online course selection, is essential.
