Helping Students, Parents and Educators Choose the Right Path

Throughout his 41-year career as a teacher and Principal, Tony has maintained a clear objective: keep kids in school.

"They need to have the academic availability and the emotional capability to succeed," he says. "This means finding the right path for each and every individual."

And, not every student follows the same path. The reality is 3 out of every 10 will go to university, and half of those will graduate. The key lies in determining the best destination for students and the best way to get them there.

These days high school offers countless choices and making them can be challenging. From course levels (academic, applied, locally-developed course credits) to programs such as student success, learning strategies, alternative, special and community based (co-op) education, pathways and extracurricular activities, the decisions seem endless.

Tony’s wide-ranging experience in alternative, special and community-based (co-op) education, together with his extensive knowledge of the Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum delivery, allows him to explore all avenues (public and private) with students and their parents in order to make correct educational choices. Already he has helped thousands of students successfully complete secondary school, guiding both academic development along with their social and emotional growth.

When to start?

Secondary school planning begins as early as grade six, while planning for post-secondary education starts in grade ten. Post-secondary education is a lifelong decision-making process and Tony can counsel families about Apprenticeship programs, College placement, University destinations and immediate entry from secondary school to the world of work.

Prior to his retirement Tony chaired the Ontario Principals' Council for York Region. He now brings his vast curriculum knowledge as an educational consultant to students, parents, teachers and administrators.
