THE FOUR PATHWAYS

Liberty Launch Academy is built around four pathways. Every student picks a direction and their entire education is optimized around it. Academics, life skills, mentors, and real world experience all align to where they are headed.

Before the pathway choice is final, every student is exposed to all four. By the end of 10th grade they commit, and the final years of their education are shaped by that commitment.
