 | Hello and Welcome to Pathways Academy Alternative School! Pathways Academy is the alternative school for the Flagler County School District. We serve students in grades 6 – 12 who are removed from the home school setting due to discipline or other issues. Over the course of a school year, we enroll about 500 students. We have a staff of 16 working with no more than 125 students at any one time which keeps our adult to student ratio at 1:8. Students are offered smaller classes, readily available adult intervention, and counseling services. Our goal is to help students remain in school while they work on a plan of action which will return them to their home-zoned school. Our students earn regular middle and high school credit while working on anger management and other skills to make them successful. Our counseling program may include individual and group counseling, as well as family counseling and referrals for case management. Students involved with the Juvenile Justice system are supported through the process. Our kids also have service learning projects where they serve not only our campus, but also out in our community. Students participate in several field trips each year to practice appropriate social skills. Program completion is based on portfolio assessment. Students earn daily points for appropriate behavior and meeting the expectations of the school. Point sheets, samples of student work, and other recognitions make up the portfolio. Success for students is achieved through a joint effort of the student, the family, and the school. We work diligently at Pathways on “Raising Student Achievement Every Day, Every Way”. As students are eligible, they are returned to their home-zoned schools where they continue to achieve. Many of our former students have earned academic and/or athletic scholarships to further their educational goals. Pathways is a place for students to practice new behaviors and coping skills … a place to get off the “wrong road” and onto the “right path”. Katrina K. Feaster Principal |
