Our Goal

To initiate engagement beginning at the middle school level, Pathway establishes a dialog with students — across the full spectrum of socio-economic backgrounds — inviting them to begin assembling a picture of themselves, their interests, and their goals.

Employing the engaging and immersive features of digital platforms with which students are familiar, Pathway’s agile and responsive tools and features will accompany students throughout their entire secondary school experience.

Featuring a highly customizable portfolio, students can use Pathway to construct a personalized digital picture of who they are and where they want to go, all while continually being informed and updated about key milestones and opportunities relevant to their post-secondary school lives.

As a valuable resource for educators and parents, Pathway provides adult influencers in students’ lives with unique and organic insight as to their students’ ambitions, challenges, and goals. Uniquely designed to share information, tips, and insights, Pathway is the indispensable digital tool and resource.
