CTA GUIDANCE

Central Toronto Academy’s guidance department is a supportive space and resource for students throughout their high school years. Our purpose is to help students through the process of discovering, developing and meeting their academic, career and personal goals. 

Our school guidance program is based on three core beliefs*

• all students can be successful

• success comes in many forms 

• there are many pathways to success

Academic & Career Counselling

Our guidance counsellors help CTA students identify strengths and interests, explore opportunities, make plans and establish goals. We do this through individual and group sessions designed to support students in knowing themselves, exploring opportunities and also through the course selection process and individual pathway planning.

Personal Counselling

Our guidance counsellors are available to support CTA students when personal issues arise. We also work closely with in-school support services (such as our social worker and our child and youth counsellor) as well as external community agencies.
