Quebec Learning & Subject Pathways Guide

Explore pathways

Choose a language or subject

The pathway guides and related courses below open in English. To read this page in French or Chinese, use the website’s language menu. Confirm school placement, course sequences and prerequisites with the responsible institution.

Three questions to clarify the starting point

Where is the student now?

Record the grade, school language, current subjects and recent work samples.

What decision comes next?

Identify a language transition, subject choice, prerequisite or enrichment goal.

What needs practice?

For example, distinguish a question about course selection from a difficulty with reading, written explanations or mathematics. This helps identify the right next step.

Looking for learning methods and enrichment?

Once the next step is clearer, choose the skills that will support it. For example, a student moving towards CEGEP may need stronger note-taking and independent planning, while another may benefit from sustained reading or writing revision.

Questions about Quebec learning pathways

Does a pathway guide replace school advice?

No. Course placement, eligibility and prerequisites must be confirmed with the school or receiving institution.

Is the pathway guide a tutoring course?

No. The guide explains the route; the related course pages describe teaching and practice support.

Does every student need an assessment?

Not automatically. Explain the current situation first; the team can discuss whether a separate assessment would help.
