The first couple of weeks at Educational Pathways Academy have been off to an amazing start! Students are making new friends, settling into their routines, and diving into their studies. It’s incredible to see the connections forming and the smiles on everyone's faces! For many students with learning disabilities, though, school can often feel like a place of failure. From a young age, they may be seen as "dumb" by peers and even teachers, causing them to lose confidence in themselves. This can lead to behavioral issues, frustration, and isolation as they struggle to cope with academic challenges. But at EPA, we understand these struggles and are here to support them. Our school is designed specifically to meet the needs of students with learning disabilities and build on their strengths, creating an environment where they feel understood and valued. Watch the video from our first day of the new school year at the North Campus in Estero and see how the right educational environment can build confidence and foster success for students with learning disabilities!

Educational Pathways Academy recently hosted a Back-to-School Bash that effectively kicked off the new academic year. This event brought together students, families, and staff for a day of engaging activities, creative projects, and meaningful connections. From a lively dance class led by Blue Zones to creative stations and delicious food from Dave’s Neapolitan Pizza, the event brought our community together in a memorable way. The strong sense of community and enthusiasm we experienced at the event will undoubtedly set a positive tone for the 2024-2025 school year. We look forward to building on these connections and continuing to support each other throughout the year. Here’s to a fantastic school year at EPA!
