Welcome!

Founded by Amanda McBreen, creator of the original Academy and Brain Bridges program, PATHS of Hampton Roads is a unique educational program that supports the educational needs of families in the Hampton Roads area. Centrally located within the region, PATHS offers a variety of classes and educational services. PATHS is neither a co-op nor a private school. PATHS is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization, hybrid educational program with highly qualified professionals that partner with your family to support your educational needs. To participate in PATHS, an approved membership is required.  

PATHS is an educational support program here to guide you in providing the best education possible for your K-12th grader. We offer a range of both academic and recreational classes to suit your needs; you can take just a couple classes or build a full schedule. Operating hours are 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM Tuesday through Thursday. The building opens at 8:40 AM. Registration to PATHS costs $250 per year and classes have their own supply fee and individual monthly cost (starting at $45/month). Registration to PATHS for the 2025-2026 school year is coming soon. Join today or contact us for more information.

PATHS is a professional school support program, not a coop. Academy is for Kindergarten-7th grade students who are on or ahead of grade level. Academy requires an entrance exam to assess grade level placement. Students may be enrolled in the academy and be in more than one grade, for example, 7th grade English, 6th grade math. Non-Academy academic classes 1st-12th and elective classes are taught by experts in their fields. Therapeutic Services includes one-on-one, small group, and classes designed for students with learning issues that include low processing speed, low working memory, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and a wide variety of learning issues. PATHS is not an Autism Spectrum Disorder program. However, some students with mild ASD benefit from therapeutic services. Entrance to all therapeutic services requires full therapeutic testing of a WISC and a Woodcock-Johnson. PATHS will only enroll students in Therapeutic Services once a baseline is established and the professionally licensed therapists agree that the student will benefit from services. An annual assessment is included to verify that progress can be demonstrated.
