Welcome to the Pathways Learning Center

Mt. Bethel Christian Academy is a place where students are nurtured, loved, and supported for who they are.

By purposeful design, we are a preparatory school, and all of our students are working toward the same destination – college.

That said, we believe every child is uniquely and wonderfully made by God and reflects His image. That uniqueness means that, although their destination is the same, our students may take different paths to reach a common end.

In order to better support that effort and ensure that all of our students are celebrated for their individual, God-given gifts and talents, we created the Pathways Learning Center. The program allows students in need of additional academic support and more individualized instruction the opportunity to shine!

Pathways Student Profile

So, what does a Pathways student look like? An MBCA Pathways student has diagnosed and recognized learning challenges but is still able to be academically successful in and out of his/her selected Pathways classes. We are able to uphold our high standard of academic excellence by maximizing our learning environment and teaching our students the skills they need to be successful. Our intentionally low student-to-teacher ratio allows a high degree of personal attention to individual strengths and weaknesses. By identifying those areas of need, students gain confidence along with their skills, resulting in increased independence and ownership of their own learning.

US 101 - Rescheduled Sep 5th
8/27/2025

We have an important update regarding our upcoming US 101 – Upper School & Beyond event. Originally planned for this Friday, the day before the long weekend, we’ve received feedback that many of you may be traveling and unable to attend.

In an effort to respect your time and give all of our families the opportunity to participate, we are rescheduling US 101 to take place as part of our Upper School Open House on Friday, September 5. Rather than holding two separate events on different dates, we have decided that integrating Upper School 101 with our Open House will allow us to be mindful of your time while still providing the most comprehensive picture of the Upper School journey. This will allow you to hear directly from our high school students and recent graduates, ask questions, and gain valuable insight into the Upper School experience and beyond.

We will be sending additional details soon regarding the Open House schedule and how US 101 will be included in the itinerary. For now, we encourage you to mark 8:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. on Friday, September 5 on your calendar. If you already plan to attend, you can RSVP at this link, and additional details will follow in another email. We look forward to seeing you there!
