Pathway Information
The Antioch Unified School District is pleased to provide many educational options to our high school students. To prepare our students for college, career, and life, our high schools offer rich curricular and instructional programs based on a pathway design. Eighth grade students are encouraged to review the available options and to select a high school program based on their interest.
Linked Learning Pathways are built upon the following principles:
- Students take a sequence of career technical courses that link the content across the curriculum
- Students experience career-based learning activities
- Pathway course work meets college entrance requirements
- Pathways are open to all students; no prerequisite requirements
- Pathways provide a system of support to ensure student success
