With so many universities to choose from… how can YOU support your son or daughter in making the right educational pathway choices to succeed? Let’s take a look at some of the multiple high school pathway plans our SLSS student population can consider…

3 very popular university programs that our SLSS student population consider are: ENGINGEERING HEALTH SCIENCES LAW

Engineering university pathway, as this program requires: Let’s look at the Engineering university pathway, as this program requires: the largest number of Grade 12 prerequisite courses a solid foundation and understanding in maths and sciences to succeed at university very competitive marks to be accepted into the program

BACHELOR of ENGINEERING Degrees require High School Graduates to successfully complete six Grade 12 U and/or M coded courses: ENG4U MHF4U and MCV4U SPH4U; SCH4U (and/or sometimes SBI4U, depending on the type of ENGINEERING program) one additional 4U or 4M coded course

University 85% + 75% + 70% + High School Engineering Pathway for a High School Student taking Academic & University Coded Courses with strong marks … increasing each year University 85% + 75% + 70% + Grade 12 University English, Math & Science High School Grade 11 University English, Math, & Science Grade 9 & 10 Academic English, Math & Science

English … Science … Math? But what about the student who has dreams of becoming an ENGINEER and is struggling in: English … Science … Math?

There are always alternative pathways to help every student choose courses best suited to their abilities and interests. S-U-C-C-E-S-S should be the end goal!

Students who are still interested in becoming engineers, but are finding some of their high school courses a challenge, will have to: seek extra remedial help, upgrade their grades and knowledge at Summer School, enrol in alternative courses to strengthen skills and knowledge or change their pathway.
