Principal’s Message

Welcome to Pathways College Preparatory School!

As principal of  Pathways I have the honor of leading one of the most dynamic team of professionals.  As a family we are deeply committed to the success of all children who walk through our doors.  The path we take to achieve this goal looks different for every child.  This is what makes Pathways such a great school. 

Creating a balanced formula to produce students who are college and career ready and who have the skills necessary to live a responsible lifestyle is our goal.   All students at Pathways will experience rigorous course work starting in the middle school grades to prepare for regents exams in Science, Algebra and U.S. History at the end of eight grade.  In the high school grades students will enroll in AP and college courses through Adelphi University once they reach 11th grade.  Additionally, courses in the expressive arts such as dance, choir and music are offered to enhance our students emotional and social development.  We also have a dynamic advisory program where each student is paired with an adult who advocates on their behalf.  Lastly ensuring our students are physically and mentally healthy before they step out into the world, by including sports and other physcial activities to our program, ensures students are able to maintain a healthyand responsible lifestyle. 

As professionals we embrace the home unit and believe parents are partners.  We engage parents by hosting college readiness workshops, career day presentations, and discussions at PTA meetings.  If students struggle we work together to ensure their success.  As a result parents are better able to support their children at home which means students acheive greater success. 

I hope this small snapshot gives you a sense of our level of commitment and dedication to our students.  Thank you for visiting our website and I hope you find the resources and information we have provided useful.

 

Sincerely,

Principal Kim Mitchell
