To support this policy, the government introduced the Learning to 18: Student Success strategy. At the heart of the Student Success initiative are six innovative new programs that allow students to customize their high school experience around learning that's relevant to them. These six ways include new Specialist High Skills Majors that let students bundle courses to prepare for specific careers. Students can also take advantage of dual credit programs, expanded co-operative education and innovative Lighthouse projects that could include credit recovery and alternative education. Students are also receiving better support through new Student Success Teams and a new Grade 8-9 transition plan. To learn more, visit the six ways website at www.ontario.ca/6ways. |
