Deeper Learning Pathways (formerly known as Academies) at Orange Lutheran are optional, discipline-specific programs (similar to a college major or concentration) that allow students to discover and hone their unique strengths, interests, and passions as they relate to potential future career pathways. Students who complete a Pathway program will be given an endorsement on their transcript and will be recognized during graduation festivities for completing a well-rounded, challenging program in their chosen area.

Pathways start accepting applications during the spring semester of a student’s freshman year. For more information, including program fees, please explore specific Pathway offerings below.
