The Academy Pathways

The Academy has two semesters per year, and participants can choose different courses and extra-curricular activities each semester. Both pathways include weekly field trips for up to ten participants in a small group setting utilizing our two campus buses. One bus is dedicated to the Pathway to Community Employment and includes job exploration field trips. The other bus is used for the Life Enrichment Pathway and incorporates cultural and civic outings.

Life Enrichment Pathway

Our Life Enrichment curriculum focuses on developing the life skills necessary to increase overall independence and quality of life for individuals with IDD through hands-on learning experiences. Individuals on the Pathway to Life Enrichment will complete the following modules: Personal Productivity, Money Management, Community Skills, Interpersonal Skills, Self-Advocacy and Health, Safety, and Citizenship.

Community Employment Pathway

Our Community Employment Pathway guides individuals seeking employment within the community to find the best-suited career path. Pre-screening will identify an individual’s needs, abilities, skill level, and interests. Training will be provided to help our participants obtain and maintain employment by transitioning them into work settings through the Academy curriculum. This pathway is time-limited; clients have 36 months to move through the path to obtain a job in the community.
