Great Path Academy

Great Path Academy is an inter-district, magnet high school located on the campus of Manchester Community College. As a magnet school, our primary goals are to promote an academically rigorous program and to reduce racial and economic isolation by recruiting a diverse learning community, which draws students from various towns. In addition to celebrating diversity, our magnet school’s curriculum is based on the school model known as “middle college high schools.” Middle college high schools are part of a nationally growing trend to establish high schools on college campuses. The purpose of a middle college high school is to bridge the gap between secondary and post-secondary education by immersing high school students into the college community, as well as to provide access to college coursework. Great Path Academy is committed to providing an innovative learning environment that supports each student to become college-ready. Students will develop the values of self-discipline: to be respectful, to demonstrate effective work habits, to be responsible, and life skills to be safe. These skills will help each student achieve success.
