As the nation's schools continue to be challenged to ensure that "no child is left behind;" we strive to help all students reach the level of achievement needed for academic, work, and life success in the 21st century. For schools that serve a great number of at-risk students and are located in underserved communities, this challenge is compounded. Pathway Academy is an untapped resource in the community of Kansas City, Missouri; existing for the sole purpose of promoting achievement and growth in young people. Sponsored by the University of Missouri – Kansas City, our charter school began serving grade K – 8 students on August 23, 2009 in partnership with EdisonLearning, a company that brings a world class educational program and wealth of school management experience. The EdisonLearning model is the result of over 15 years and $475 million of research and development. This state-of-the-art design has a long history of improving student achievement – particularly in urban settings with historically underserved student populations, including Kansas City. Pathway Academy meets the purpose of the Charter School Program by partnering with parents, community based organizations, and educational experts to offer Kansas City a progressive and scientifically supported educational program that addresses both academic and whole learning needs of our most deserving students.
