The Archer Pathway programs are a combination of English language training or our High School Diploma, and focused diploma programs in specialized areas. These programs provide students with the opportunity to develop their English language skills and broaden their educational background before taking on the challenge of completing one of our registered programs...all within the Archer Education System.

Stage One: English Program or High School Diploma Program
For students in our language program, the first stage of the pathway will help you develop fundamental English skills. The length of this stage of the program will depend on your current English level and how quickly you progress. After completing our Advanced English course, you will move on to the second stage of your Pathway program.
Stage Two: Academic Bridge
In stage two you will develop skills that will help you be successful in the diploma portion of your program. In general, students spend 1 - 4 months in this stage, depending on your particular needs and objectives. Before moving on to the diploma program you will be required to take an in-house aptitude evaluation to determine your strengths and weaknesses.
Stage 3: Diploma Program
In your diploma program you will focus on your particular area of interest. Upon completion you will receive a Diploma, which is recognized by the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (Ontario), or registered with the Private Career Training Institutions Association (British Columbia).
