PATHS

PATHS (Postsecondary Access to Transition after High School) is a specialized program that supports students with disabilities who have completed their high school academic requirements but need additional skill development in areas such as employment, education, and independent living. Through a collaborative approach involving students, families, program staff, and community partners, PATHS provides customized transitional experiences and curriculum to help students achieve postsecondary success. This program is tailored for those who are deferring their diplomas to continue their growth in Dublin City Schools' transition programming.

The Bridge is an innovative educational option for students who benefit from a non-traditional learning experience. With a focus on flexibility and individualized support, The Bridge offers a variety of educational pathways, including credit recovery, flexible scheduling, and small class sizes. Students receive on-site support services, such as mental health counseling and career guidance, and are encouraged to engage in community-based learning opportunities. The program is designed to help students achieve academic success, graduate, and transition smoothly back into traditional classrooms or other post-secondary endeavors.
