Secondary Programs
Kingsway’s Secondary Program serves students ages 14–21, encompassing grades 8th–12th and our transition students (12+). The program provides clear, individualized pathways grounded in each student’s unique abilities, interests, and future goals. It fosters independence and essential life skills while recognizing the value of interdependence and natural supports as we prepare diverse learners for real-world experiences.
The goal is to ensure a seamless transition from school to adult life by engaging students in meaningful, personalized learning experiences. The PATHS (Pursuing Abilities Through Hands-on Skills) program empowers students by equipping them with the skills and experiences necessary to reach their personal goals and succeed in transition planning.
Students move through three identified pathways within the PATHS program based on their individual needs and growth. Each pathway has a specific focus area that supports continued development of functional, vocational, and community living skills.
Pathway to Engagement – Building Foundations for Community Living
Career Cluster: Health & Human Services (in partnership with clusters in Pathway to Practice)
The Pathway to Engagement supports students in developing the essential skills needed to actively participate in daily life at home, at school, and in the community.
Pathway to Practice – Progressing Skills Through Career Awareness
Career Clusters: Hospitality & Tourism, Manufacturing & Marketing, Agriculture
The Pathway to Practice introduces students to career awareness and helps them build the foundational skills necessary for future workplace readiness.
Pathway to Application – Career Exploration in Real-World Settings
Career Clusters: Determined by job site experiences
The Pathway to Application provides students with hands-on career exploration through real-world job site experiences and partnerships with community organizations, preparing them for meaningful post-school opportunities.
