Higher Education and Pathways

Your pathway to success is supported by our team of Guidance Counsellors by ensuring that each student receives the required support to achieve their personal and academic goals.

Our Higher Education and Pathways Advisors play an integral role in the career and life planning of our Grade 7- through 12 students. They provide a wide variety of ongoing support related to student academic success, fulfillment of graduation requirements, and social-emotional development. Our Advisors use a whole child approach while counselling to ensure that each student is being met with the individualized support needed to be successful at DSC. All students in the Secondary Section are assigned an advisor who will remain their counsellor throughout their studies at DSC.

During the school year, our Higher Education and Pathways Team arrange individual meetings with students and parents to review academic goals and to ensure a positive sense of wellbeing. Our counsellors assist students in creating an individualized plan for success that includes course selection, involvement in extracurricular activities, and commitment to community service. The Higher Education and Pathway Advisors work closely with students and parents throughout the university application process, offering a series of workshops,  access to university fairs, and one-on-one support.

Over the past year, our Higher Education and Pathways Team have assisted our graduating students in shortlisting the best universities based on academics and interests with many of them entering the top 100 universities.
