What an inspiring place! The administration is attentive to parents and students alike, the teachers are stellar and make learning engaging and challenging, and the students are for the most part kind and inclusive! Every school has its quirks, but our three kids (now ages 17, 19, and 24 have LOVED College Pathways and the chance to earn credit at Pikes Peak State University during their junior and senior years. We can't say enough about the dedicated, encouraging faculty (the history and math departments are amazing), and the way they model critical thinking and hold students to a high standard.
If you send your children to CP, you are in for an incredible education and an environment that is supportive and intentional about everything it promotes. Unbelievable place!

College Pathways/TCA is an incredible place. The teachers up to sophomore or junior year are all amazing! Mr. Casson, CP's phenomenal history teacher, is the best instructor I've had in my five years at the school. The community is friendly, classes difficult but excellent, and the whole vibe outstanding!

Our four kids have gone through TCA College Pathways, and it is wonderful! The teachers are gifted, brilliant in their fields, and caring. The community is tight-knit, and academically they are pushed but encouraged. There's a warmth about CP that we have never found anywhere. A handful of teachers have been at the school since it began 11 years ago, and they are favorites because they inspire the very things the school is rooted in.
We can't imagine any other school for our family, and would enthusiastically recommend College Pathways to ANYone at all!

An amazing school with incredible faculty across the board!! I highly recommend this hybrid-online school for its academic excellence and personal touch! Both my kids went through and LOVED it!

The school is very insular. You have to fit in exactly (i.e. Evangelical)or be prepared for barriers to success. The school has more cache than it deserves.

College Pathways has been open for 3 years now, and has grown from 140 students to over 400 students, grades 7-12. If high school students are college ready, they can take classes next door at Pikes Peak Community College, which is really convenient. What makes the junior high and high school very unique, is that the classes only meet once or twice a week, and the rest of the work is done online from home, so with the hybrid online format, students only attend school 2-3 days per week. College Pathways is a college prep school though, so the work is pretty rigorous!
