Learning, Connecting, and Thriving Online!
Virtual classes offer the convenience of learning from the comfort of your home. Our virtual teachers provide engaging classes that connect students from around the world. Students get a highly interactive learning experience that caters to their individual needs. Virtual classes are a great option for students who don’t qualify for or live nearby to our in-person program, or students who are sensitive to sensory stimuli. In the virtual space, we have better control over noise levels and can eliminate other distractions that can pose challenges for some students in a traditional classroom setting.

Program Eligibility Statement
When openings exist, enrollment is available to individuals who meet Pathways’ eligibility criteria and who, with or without reasonable modifications that do not fundamentally alter the nature of the program, can participate in Pathways’ group-based programming and community outings.
Pathways is a group-based educational day program and does not provide nursing care, medical services or interventions, medication administration, hands-on personal care assistance (including toileting or feeding), lifting or transferring assistance, or ongoing dedicated one-on-one staffing. Pathways also does not provide Habilitation Specialist services, Daily Living Supports, Family Training, Employment Training Services, Group Home services, Sheltered Workshop services, or Community Integrated Employment services, which are distinct services outside Pathways’ group-based educational program model.
As part of the enrollment, re-enrollment, and continued participation process, Pathways conducts an individualized assessment of each applicant or participant to determine whether the person’s needs can be accommodated within the structure of the program through reasonable modifications that do not fundamentally alter the nature of the program or create a direct threat to the health or safety of others.
