School Notes
- Pathway School is designed for bright, creative students in 3-8 with learning differences and unique learning styles. We are a Christian-based school in Orange County and we strive to develop each child to maximize their God-given potential. We offer a strong academic curriculum and utilize teaching techniques tailored to the needs of each and every student. The school equips students with the tools necessary to overcome the ostacles blocking their way to academic and personal success.
- Pathway School understands that no two children learn, develop, or mature at the same pace. Learning differences touch not only academic skills but also the entire child and his or her family. Whatever the specific stumbling blocks to learning, frustration, and some level of anxiety almost always accompany them. At pathway School, attention is given to the student; individual areas of strength are celebrated, struggles identified, and learning programs carefully developed to meet each child's needs.

School Reviews
5 3/6/2020
Our family is so thankful to find Pathways Schools for our 9-year-old. For us public schools weren't working and homeschool wasn't an option. The small class sizes, focus on learning styles, and seeing my child for who he really is and not his quirks and challenges have made school a better experience for him. I cannot rave enough about their principle, office and support staff and teachers and families, we love them all.
