I like this school, for me it was the best choice Ive ever made.

Students who need an alternative placement and learn differently or just have situations in life that don't fit around a traditional school, this is the place for you!

The administration employs people who actually want to get to know and build relationships with their students. They care so deeply and have a unique ability to push and believe in students that otherwise would not believe in themselves.

Pathways is absolutely amazing! Its the only school I found my daughter is able to succeed in. We have no issue with her now attending every day and she even goes the extra mile. I couldn't ask for more.

This school is incredible for students who may struggle with the traditional school system. The way the curriculum is designed to be very manageable for students to work as slow (within reason) or fast as they would like. They do not allow failure, the teachers work independently with the students to make sure they pass every test. The staff is incredible!

The teachers do not talk to you like you are just another kid in a 25+ person classroom. The one on one personal conversations about the work and learning helps a lot.

Your Education, Your Way.

We get it—traditional school isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. At PIE, we’ve traded rigid schedules for flexible learning that actually fits your life. Whether you’re catching up on credits or racing ahead, you’ll have teachers who truly have your back and treat you like an adult. Beyond the classroom, our experiential learning trips turn the world into your campus. It’s not just about getting a diploma; it’s about finding a place where you actually want to show up.

My SGI teachers are really good with not making class boring and keeping us engaged. They also like to ask for feedback on how to be more engaging which is nice.

I feel like I’m making myself proud. I’m accomplishing things that I never actually wanted to before I dropped out of my old school.

The way Pathways is set up—with individual, one-on-one support—and the fact that my I.S. teacher, Emma, along with the other staff, genuinely believed in me—even when I didn’t—helped me find my footing again.

The way the curriculum is designed to be very manageable for students to work as slow (within reason) or fast as they would like. They do not allow failure, the teachers work independently with the students to make sure they pass every test. The staff is incredible! Very friendly and always looking to personally connect with each student to encourage their development and success! A few of my favorite things about this is school: connection, communication, digestible and manageable work load, student accountability, and positive reinforcement!

I couldn’t ask for more. The whole staff is absolutely amazing and care so much about their students. I most definitely would recommend Pathways to any high School student that needs the additional help. Thank you all for what you do and your time. ❤️

What Makes our Programs Different?

Flexible Learning

No two students are the same, and your schedule shouldn’t be either. Our hybrid approach blends in-person support, online learning, and independent study so you can learn at your pace, on your time.

Hybrid Learning (In-Person + Online)

Hybrid learning at Pathways means students get a mix of online learning, one-on-one help, and in-person classes. Students work on their online classes and also come to the center for extra support from their teachers.

We also offer Small Group Instruction (SGI) for core subjects like Math, Science, and English. These SGI classes are like regular classrooms but with fewer students—usually 5 to 15 in a group—so teachers can give more attention and support.

This mix of learning helps students stay on track, ask questions, and feel supported every step of the way.

One-on-one Support

Every student at Pathways receives individualized guidance tailored to their unique needs. From free tutoring in core subjects to personal mentorship, our staff is dedicated to helping students thrive both academically and personally.

Our one-on-one support pairs students with dedicated teachers and advisors who are there to guide them every step of the way.

  • Why it matters: Personalized attention helps students overcome challenges, build confidence, and achieve their goals.
 
  • How we do it: Regular check-ins, tailored feedback, and individualized learning plans ensure you’re never left behind. You’re not just a number here—you’re our priority. 

Dual Enrollment

Why wait for college when you can start earning credits now? With dual enrollment, you can take college-level courses while completing your high school education, saving time and money.

  • Why it matters: Dual enrollment gives students a head start on their future, letting them experience college-level work and stand out on college applications.

 

  • How we do it: We partner with local colleges to provide accessible, high-quality courses, ensuring that you’re ready for the next step in your academic journey.

Personalized Schedules

Life is busy, and we understand that every student’s circumstances are different. That’s why we offer personalized schedules designed to fit your unique needs.

Whether you’re balancing a job, caring for family members, or managing responsibilities as a young parent, we make it possible to earn your diploma while honoring your commitments.

  • Why it matters: Students shouldn’t have to choose between their education and their responsibilities. A personalized schedule ensures that education is accessible and manageable for everyone.

 

  • How we do it: We work with you to create a plan that fits your life, offering flexible options like part-time schedules, evening classes, and online coursework. Our goal is to meet you where you are so you can succeed on your terms.

Empathy-Based Discipline

At Pathways, we lead with empathy. We take the time to learn about each student’s challenges, strengths, and goals so that we can provide the support they need to thrive.

  • Why it matters: Students thrive when they feel heard and respected. Compassionate guidance builds trust and fosters personal growth.
 
  • How we do it: Our team uses restorative practices and positive reinforcement to help students navigate challenges while developing accountability and emotional intelligence.

Experiential Learning Trips

Our experiential learning trips take students out into the world, offering hands-on experiences that connect their education to real-life applications. These trips are designed to inspire curiosity, build confidence, and deepen understanding by immersing students in new environments and opportunities.

  • Why it matters: Experiential learning bridges the gap between theory and practice. It gives students a chance to explore new perspectives, develop critical thinking skills, and make lasting memories while enriching their education.

 

  • How we do it: From college campus visits to cultural field trips and outdoor adventures, these experiences are thoughtfully planned to align with academic goals and personal growth. Students gain insights into potential career paths, discover new interests, and build relationships with their peers—all while learning outside the classroom.
