Student Services

It is the goal of King’s to equip students for whatever path they may choose beyond their high school education. While the vast majority of King’s graduates pursue a university or college degree, they are also well prepared for the workforce, having applied the rigorous disciplines of critical inquiry, study and application. The guidance counsellors are poised to assist students in making wise choices in planning a program for their learning and for working towards a wide array of post-secondary and career options. The school social workers are equipped to support the needs of our students to flourish in the fullness of life.

Course Selection

In February, Student Services presents students with class choices for the following school year. Students and parents receive information to make appropriate choices to successfully complete diploma requirements and look ahead to post-secondary options. Course selection is completed in each student’s myBlueprint account.

For existing students, all course selection will occur in their myBlueprint account.

For new students enrolling at King’s, course selection documents are provided below:
