A St. Thomas High School program for 6th- and 7th-grade girls and boys to nurture independent learners who go to school each day with a positive attitude and intellectual curiosity, motivated to succeed. Independent learners set goals, manage their time, seek help when needed, and monitor their progress- building confidence, responsibility, motivation, and the skills needed for long-term academic and life success.

In the classroom, this looks like:

  • Fewer missing assignments
  • Increased engagement & task completion
  • Seeking help appropriately
  • Improved organization, planning, and time management
  • Greater persistence when tasks feel challenging

Pathways to Independent Learning explicitly teaches the executive functioning, self-management, and learning skills students need to take ownership of their learning. Students learn practical strategies they can apply across all classes.
