Pathways Private School Orlando serves K–12 students who do not fit the typical one-size-fits-all classroom. Led on campus by our principal, Christina James, families say these are the biggest reasons they choose Pathways for their children.
Pathways accepts students with IEPs, offers on-campus speech and occupational therapy, and maintains a calm, structured setting with second chances, clear expectations, and a strict zero-bullying culture.
In K–8, classes are typically between 16 and 20 students, so your child is known by name, not lost in a crowd. Families describe Pathways as family-centered and loving, with staff partnering closely with parents. Students study core subjects plus life skills, and can take part in extracurricular activities like music, art, and Spanish. Before- and after-school programs give working families extra support and consistency.
Pathways combines strong academics and life skills with school sports and activities: basketball, flag football, girls volleyball, track, and other extracurricular options. The school is NCAA certified and SEVIS approved for I-20s, serving both local and international students (no housing provided). Most local families use Step Up or UA scholarships, which can cover most of tuition, so many pay only a small monthly amount to attend.
