Pathways...Partners In Education
The MISSION of the Pathways Partnership is to empower a diverse body of students to achieve their educational goals. We are committed to providing a fresh start to individuals who have left the traditional school environment. The individual needs of each student (academic, emotional, and social) shall be addressed to assist them in becoming motivated and responsible members of society.
The goals of Pathways include:
- Empowering and encouraging students to be lifelong learners.
- Preparing students to interact with the real world in an effective manner.
- Assisting students in overcoming personal barriers to success.
- Utilizing engaging learning methods to create fun and positive learning environment.
- Improving students' self-concept and academic performance.
