WELCOME TO SEQUOIA PATHWAY ACADEMY


Pathway is a tuition-free, public charter school in the city of Maricopa. We are a highly performing school that serves students in Kindergarten through 12th grade. Every child at Sequoia Pathway will be known. This simple statement is our promise to get to know your child and provide him or her with a program that recognizes their own special qualities and abilities. Classrooms are set-up in a manner to promote cross-curricular activities and teachers work within teams to ensure that this takes place. In budget conscious times, it has been our goal to continue to provide students the exposure to subjects such as physical education, music and art.

K-6- Our school program is geared toward state standards and run as a regular school with smaller class sizes and more hands on, activity-based learning. Onsite teachers are highly motivated, highly qualified and involved in every child's individual success.

7-12- Students will benefit from our state standards based approach. Based upon benchmark results, students have the opportunity to progress in subjects above grade level. Junior high students have many elective options with some opportunities to earn high school credit. Students in 9th through 12th grade will have online options to go along with their face-to-face courses. Online courses allow students to move through courses at their own pace. College courses become an option for some students. All students in grades 6-12 can be a part of our growing sports and musical programs.

Senior perspective: Anything but your typical girl
Senior perspective: Anything but your typical girl
Posted on 05/21/2013
As a senior this year, there’s a lot to look forward to after these next three days are up. The “real world,” and all it entails, can seem daunting. I have nightmares about Smurfs; pretty soon my nightly terrors will morph into Smurfs in business attire claiming they’re from the IRS and I need to be audited. After 12 years of schooling, I’ve just about had it: Working for six hours a day, five days a week, for 180 days out of a year – come on people, this isn’t North Korea. You’re (I’m talking to you, public school system) running one messed up operation. I’ve worked about 70 percent of my life away and for what? A chance to maybe work for less than eight bucks an hour. Don’t I deserve more?  more
