Pathways:
Student choice: ProgramMingVirginia Beach City Public Schools offers a personalized experience for students to support their academic and career aspirations. This includes many programs and services that help students acquire skills and knowledge that support their academic achievement and growth as learners, workers and citizens. Career planning is also available to ensure every child is challenged and supported to reach his or her full potential. Lastly, in the classroom, our intent is that all students be challenged and supported to create their own personal pathways to learn and demonstrate knowledge.

This laserlike focus on student agency epitomizes the balance between equity and personalized leaning with connections to instructional design, learning environment, purposeful use of technology, and opportunities for students to design their own paths.

The graduate profile is intended to inspire, motivate, and guide the work of students, teachers, schools, and the division. Click here to learn more about our graduate profile.
