Student Supports
At Pathways Prep Academy, our Counseling Program is here to make sure every student has the support they need to succeed in high school and beyond. With a counselor-to-student ratio of 1 counselor for every 100 students, we are able to provide personalized attention and guidance that helps each student feel seen, supported, and prepared for the future.
