Pathways Early College is a "public school in a private setting." Being a scholar in our community means being part of a vibrant, intellectually curious, and culturally rich environment where students develop their skills in thinking critically and making real-world connections across subjects. Students also develop global-mindedness and civic responsibility through community service requirements in grades 9-12. Our instructional approach is built around inquiry, reflection, and student voice, showcased through Socratic Seminars where students analyze complex texts and Declamation, a beloved tradition where students perform speeches and poetry with power and poise. Our mantra, "7 years, 1 school, 1 family", reflects our Early College model; students remain through grade 12 and graduate with an Associate Degree by earning college-level credits. Students begin taking college courses in 9th grade, with the bulk of courses being completed in their junior year. Students can earn up to 50 credits by January of their senior year. As a Performing Arts school, we offer courses in theater, dance, music, and visual arts. Students express themselves through performance, choreography, and creative design. Languages are taught with cultural depth and linguistic rigor over the course of seven years. Our House System (Columbia, Yale, UTech, and Howard) builds identity, leadership, friendly competition, and supports our Restorative Justice program. Our Classrooms of the Future include certification opportunities: Python, JavaScript, Cloud Computing, Data Analytics, and Cybersecurity, as well as internships with S&P 500 companies. Our global Study Abroad trips to Spain, Puerto Rico, Greece, and soon, Africa. Students leave our middle school not only ready for high school, but also envisioning their future.
