The Unity Pathways School Division (UPSD) and its schools are narrative settings created for The Belonging Project. The stories within this ecosystem are inspired by real experiences in education and community life, thoughtfully fictionalized to protect privacy and illuminate inclusive practice.
Unity Pathways School Division exists to honour the diverse journeys of learners, families, and educators. The name Unity Pathways reflects our dual commitment: to fostering unity across difference and to supporting the many unique pathways learners travel as they grow, contribute, and thrive. We believe that every path deserves to be seen, supported, and celebrated—and that when we work together, we create the conditions where all learners can flourish.
​
Rooted in the belief that belonging is not just an outcome but a starting point, our division is committed to building inclusive learning environments where every individual is valued and every journey is honoured. Our work is shaped by a clear sense of purpose, a vision grounded in community, and a deep commitment to creating spaces where students are seen, supported, and empowered.

The statements below articulate the mission, vision, and values that guide our schools, our leadership, and our learning. They reflect our belief that when we design with intention, lead with compassion, and honour each story, meaningful learning becomes possible for all.
