Pathways Academy Is Not Most Schools

In 2003, a parent of a special needs student started the school that is Pathways Academy today after experiencing the pain of watching her student struggle in a traditional educational environment. She needed a place for her student where they could be accepted; a place that would meet them where they were and foster advancement, not stagnation. Almost two decades later we are still meeting struggling students where they are to help them progress and thrive in their learning. 

Often Pathways Academy is thought of as a school for students on the autism spectrum. That is true, but we are also a place for any student that has simply failed to thrive for one reason or another. In our small school we keep student/teacher ratios to no more than 8:1. This gives us the ability to better focus on the needs of each student in the classroom, individualizing a lesson for the abilities of the actual student, not for a perceived average ability level. It's not magic. It just makes sense. And it works.

Admission is capped at 24 students total in grades K-12. Our 3 classroom teachers average 9 years of time with the school each. Our principal has been a classroom teacher here. We know every student in the school, and every student is familiar with every staff member. It's another part of what makes us different.

Are you looking for a school where your student will be seen for who they are and what they can do? Contact us to schedule a tour and see what we're about here at Pathways Academy.
