Accent on Achievement
Pathways College Preparatory School (PCPS) is designed to promote academic excellence through our caring and qualified staff members whose goal is to get to know students well. Student achievement in all areas of life is our primary purpose. Each student designs a RoadMap used to develop a personalized pathway to success in secondary school, college, and life. Pathways College Preparatory School fosters the high achievement and healthy growth and development of every member of the community.
The school is uniquely structured to educate, support, and guide students from middle school through high school graduation, building the bridges from the earlier grades that ultimately lead to college success.
