Community Pathway

What is the Outlook?

Special Education staff, parents, and community support agencies work collaboratively to plan and prepare students for life in the community upon exiting secondary school.
Options include, but are not limited to volunteer work, paid employment and participation in recreational programs.
Some students may be able to access specialized programs offered at Ontario Community Colleges ( i.e. CICE – Community Integration through Co-operative Education ).

What is required of me?

Students with Special Education needs who are primarily accessing non-credit courses leading to a Certificate of Accomplishment need to display significant progress in completing individual, personal, and educational goals.
Students working towards an Ontario Secondary School Certificate [OSSC] need to successfully complete a minimum of 14 credits including 7 compulsory and 7 elective, or optional courses.
Students in this pathway may remain in secondary school until June of the year that the student turns 21 years of age
