It is never too early to start thinking about high school. There are many schools and programs students can apply too. DDW's home school is White Oaks Secondary School, where all students from DDW can attend high school. However, students can also apply to other regional programs, like the IB and I-STEM programs that run at different high schools. Use the links on this page to explore the options and find out more information. You can also ask your homeroom teacher or contact the schools below directly.
You may also contact me if you have any questions.
