Pathways Abroad

Pathways Abroad is a small family based educational program for teens and young adults. Students live together with our bilingual staff in a family setting.

We are a family based program for “at risk” or struggling teens and young adults between the ages of 16 and 21 who are transitioning from Wilderness Programs, Boarding Schools, and Academic Challenges. We provide a safe and vibrant living and learning environment for our students to discover the best aspects of themselves while gaining a fresh perspective of the world we live in. Our daily activities include Spanish Lessons, Physical Fitness, Community Service, Music Production, Counseling, Outdoor Adventure, and Cultural Immersion. Our personal growth philosophy centers around creating a positive and joyful peer culture. The day-to-day lives of our students are structured and supervised, but in a way that prevents our students from being resentful or overly conscious of the fact that they live in a very controlled environment. Our model tends to diminish "the us and them mentality" that often is prevalent in many larger programs. Another key to creating our positive and joyful peer culture is to keep our enrollments low (the maximum number of students we have at one time is six) and to include our students in all of the things that keep us (family and staff) excited and grateful to be living abroad. As a result, our students usually end up feeling as if they are a part of our extended family instead of "being in a program.”

The Patagonia is famous for its pristine mountains, rivers, lakes, glaciers, and abundant wildlife. San Carlos de Bariloche has a network of world class hiking trails that climb and wind their way through a unique convergence of different bio-zones. During a typical two-day hike, it is possible to go from high desert, to alpine glaciers, to the rainforest. The region offers a range of outdoor activities that are unparalleled anywhere in the world, including trekking, camping, skiiing and sno-boarding, water sports, fishing, eco-tourism, bird watching, and more.

Our Community Service Projects enable our students and staff to give back to the community as well as to learn about the value of serving others. In our years in Argentina, Chile, Spain, Panama, and Mexico, we have initiated a number of our own volunteer projects and have also joined in to help with some pre-existing community service work. The dynamics of volunteering in the community can be complex and sometimes challenging due to the language and cultural barriers that our students face. Nevertheless, we have found that our students invariably find it to be an enriching experience, both to the people they are serving, and for their own expanding sense of being.

Our outdoor adventure component is more recreational than many of the Wilderness Programs that our students have attended. The purpose of our hikes, camping, climbs, floats, and road trips are to develop a love and respect for nature, benefit from different forms of physical activity, and to provide inspirational breaks in our routine.

Listen to Original Music Written, Produced,
and Recorded by Pathways Students

Many of our students have written, recorded, and released full albums while others have learned the ins and outs of digital recording and the joys of selfless collaboration. Our focus is not all about releasing cd's, but rather learning, having fun, collaborating with other musicians, and growing as people and musicians. We rarely encourage students to focus on music as a career goal but more as a way to begin using the creative process as a way toward creating a successful and fulfilling life. There are many other students who did not release full length CDs who have had great success writing and recording music with us.
