Which Pathway is Right for Me? 

Students have access to smaller classes and more flexible schedules than they would get in a traditional high school setting. Depending on which pathway they choose, students may have a hybrid schedule bringing both in-person and online coursework together.  The passionate, talented teachers for Roseville Pathways teach at RJUHSD’s Middle College, Adelante, and Independence High School.
