 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.
