Our Mission

The Pathways Schools’ mission is to enable our students to acquire the skills they need to succeed in school, career and life through individualized education and supports.

Our Vision

The Pathways Schools are non-public special education schools that provide diverse quality programs to meet the individual needs of students ages 11-21 with emotional and behavioral disabilities.

To meet the myriad of diverse student needs, Pathways works to access community-based opportunities and support from various businesses, agencies, and organizations to work with families and students. Our vision is for students to become better advocates for themselves.

Students are taught to identify their strengths and needs while they set realistic goals that will assist them to successfully transition to public school, continued education or work. They learn to utilize available resources and acquire the academic, vocational, social and technological skills to participate and contribute positively in society.

Pathways is committed to the development and dissemination of professional best practices in the field of special education.
