At Educational Pathways Academy, we understand the unique challenges that come with dyslexia, and we’re committed to providing the best support for our students. One of the ways we meet the needs of struggling readers is through the Orton-Gillingham approach. This evidence-based, multisensory method was specifically designed to help students with dyslexia by breaking down language learning into manageable steps. Through a structured, sequential, and personalized approach, students actively engage with reading, writing, and spelling—building skills and confidence along the way. By adapting our teaching to each student’s pace, we empower them to overcome obstacles and thrive in their academic journey.

Our recent Meals of Hope packing event was a tremendous success, showcasing the dedication and compassion of the EPA community! Families, teachers, and staff came together to pack over 12,000 meals, with half distributed to families in Southwest Florida and the other half sent to support those impacted by Hurricane Helene in North Carolina. An EPA Parent shared her reflections on the event, saying, 'The generosity of EPA families and staff never stops amazing me. The energy and excitement, especially from students cheering with each box packed, made the time fly. We even surpassed our goal and finished early!' This event not only provided much-needed support to communities in need but also strengthened the bonds within our own. Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to making a real impact. We are proud to be part of such a generous and committed community at Educational Pathways Academy. #educationalpathwaysacademy #mealsofhope #communityservice #swfl
