About PIE

PIE is a non‑profit organization that partners with public schools to provide dropout recovery and prevention programs, including schools (located in LA, TN, and IL); college tours; and experiential programs that help students learn teamwork, resilience, leadership, self‑confidence, and communication.

Pathways’ schools utilize a blended learning model, combining independent study and small group instruction, focusing on academic recovery, experiential learning, and life and job skills development. With a focus on one‑on‑one mentorship, PIE teachers and advisors can show struggling students the potential that they have not been able to see in themselves. PIE’s experiential programs promote not only social and personal growth, but community involvement, environmentalism, and STEAM learning, and have been proven to increase high school graduation rates among attendees.

Blackbird Farm and Rocky Mountain Pathways Ranch both fall under the PIE umbrella.
