Pathway Highlights
Through this pathway students develop practical skills, build a strong academic foundation in child development and understand the responsibility of working with young children. Twice per week, students gain hands on experience and apply their academic knowledge by engaging with young children in a preschool or elementary classroom. The relationships Paly students build with their buddies makes this pathway a meaningful experience that enhances their learning in powerful ways.
Additionally, students in this pathway can earn college credit through our dual enrollment program and the course grades are weighted (just like AP and honors courses). College credit is earned without having to take an AP test.
After completing this pathway, students will be in a position to apply for teaching permits so that they are able to obtain a salaried position as they pursue their post-secondary education. Accumulating up to 24 college credits can help students graduate (or transfer) on time or early. We are also working with local childcare providers to arrange for internships, which would provide students with the professional skills they need to obtain a position in the field upon graduation.
