Academic & Admissions Strategy for Grades 8–12

At Pathways by Design, we provide high-touch academic pathway planning and admissions strategy for students and families who want clarity and results — organized by grade, so you always know exactly where your child stands and what's next. Our approach draws on decades of experience in guidance, curriculum development, and classroom teaching, so every plan is grounded in how students actually learn and succeed.

Whether the goal is a strong Ontario pathway, a competitive US or Ivy League application, or — for our student-athlete families — NCAA, NAIA, or USports eligibility alongside academics, every plan is built around one thing: the right next step, not the hardest one. As former national-team athletes ourselves, we also understand firsthand what it takes to balance high-level training with academics.
