PREPARING FOR WHAT’S NEXT

We’re committed to ensuring that every student who graduates from Urban Pathways understands how to succeed and thrive academically and socially. Students take College Prep and Graduation Project/Senior Seminar classes during their junior and senior years. Through these courses, students receive the tools and resources necessary to transition into their chosen direction after high school, whether it is post-secondary education, entering the workforce, or joining a branch of the U.S. armed forces.
