The Future Leaders
Pathway at R. H. King Academy provides student leaders with the background
knowledge and skill necessary to reach their leadership potential and be
positive agents of change in the world. Grounded in a strong
understanding of the Canadian social, political, and economic framework in
which they live and hope to lead, the courses in the program will focus on
aspects of the curriculum that will be necessary to advocate for and lead the
changes that the students want to see in the world, whether that be local or global.
The courses will give students a chance to explore their own identities as
leaders within their communities and to consider the problems/concerns that
they want to dedicate themselves to. In addition to the contextual and
theoretical exploration of our world, and the many ways leaders affect change,
the courses in the Future Leaders Pathway will give students a chance to
practice their leadership skills by working in groups, as part of teams, and to
take on different roles to explore their own leadership styles and gain
leadership experience.
The course based
learning will be enhanced by school and community involvement, through
engagement with the co-curricular activities within R. H. King Academy, as well
as an additional 40 hours of community involvement before graduation.
Students will be supported and connected with many opportunities to volunteer
and earn their additional community service hours both inside the school
environment and in the broader school community.
Please note: Due to
enrolment constraints at R. H. King Academy, a minimum of 20% of available
seats will be assigned to applicants living in the school’s local catchment
area.
