The Traverse

Post-Secondary Support for Our Students

The Traverse Post-Secondary Transition Program (The Traverse) is a Rundle-developed program that supports our graduating students as they transition into post-secondary education.

As demonstrated in academic research, students are most successful in transitioning into post-secondary education learning environments if they have the following skills and attributes: self-determination, learning strategies, and the ability to self-advocate.

Rundle focuses on the development of these skills; however, based on the research literature and feedback from our alumni, these skills may require further development in their new learning environment.

Most post-secondary institutions have student support services and even some week-long transition courses; however, the support is not individualized for the holistic needs of a student. The Traverse aims to seamlessly bridge the gap between high school and post-secondary studies for our students and bring them closer to academic autonomy while maintaining their confidence.

The Traverse Difference

A Traverse Coach will be assigned to each student who will work alongside them throughout the entire year to create continuity and a sense of trust through this period of transition. The Traverse Coach and the post-secondary student will meet weekly via Zoom conference call or in-person meetings.

The program is tailored specifically to a student’s individual requirements; however, also adheres to a curriculum to ensure the program objectives are covered which include goal setting, strategy development and support, academic support, and well-being.
