The Byrne Pathway at Regina Dominican
At Regina Dominican, we believe every young woman deserves the opportunity to succeed. The Byrne Pathway was created to support students with documented learning needs, ensuring they can fully experience our all-girls, Catholic, college preparatory environment.
Rather than a separate program or track, the Byrne Pathway offers an individualized academic pathway, with tailored support designed to help each student thrive and reach her highest potential.
Who is eligible?
Students with a documented IEP, 504 Plan, or Catholic school education plan in certain categories may qualify for the Byrne Pathway. Conditions supported include:
- Specific learning disabilities (dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, processing deficits)
- Developmental delay
- Mild intellectual disabilities
- ADD/ADHD
Rooted in Dominican values, we honor the dignity of every student and provide the tools, resources, and support she needs to succeed.
Support and services not offered at Regina Dominican High School
We are not staffed to support, and are therefore unable to offer admission to students with diagnosed emotional disabilities and behavioral disorders (including but not limited to oppositional defiant disorder, intermittent explosive disorder, and school refusal) .
Although our small and personalized environment is supportive, we do not provide a therapeutic educational program.
Note: In order to be eligible for admission, parents must disclose educational needs and provide the required documentation during the application process. If the needs are not disclosed, the student will be ineligible for Byrne Pathway services.
Prestigious Partnerships
We continue to enhance our current academic offerings and experiences with the multiple partnerships we have built with other programs, schools, and the community. We are proud to partner with and be accredited by the nation’s most prestigious educational organizations such as:
- The International Coalition of Girls’ Schools
- National Catholic Education Association
- Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development
- Global Online Academy (GOA)
- National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS)
