The Pathways School - Catonsville

Catonsville Center for Alternative Studies is a Baltimore County Public Schools alternative program on South Rolling Road. Students are placed here by a BCPS School Conduct Hearing Officer, in either our in-person program or our virtual program. Each in-person student starts with an enrollment conference where we set the student's schedule, check credits, build a multi-year educational plan, and tour the building. Staff call home each time a student is late or absent. Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports guide our expectations. Four days a week, a Flex period holds character education with homeroom groups and clubs in life skills, chess and checkers, mindful movement, coloring, STEAM, and crafting, where students hand sew small stuffed animals. We also share college and career resources and community school family resources.

ASDEC is the only IMSLEC-accredited center providing reading and math specialists who are nationally certified by ALTA and AOG. Your child will have access to specialists who have trained for up to 1000 hours to deliver intensive one-to-one or small group instruction designed to meet their unique learning needs.
