Educational Pathways Academy (EPA) is a non-profit, private Christian school in Southwest Florida that specializes in the academic, social, and emotional development of students with dyslexia, ADHD, and other learning disabilities, such as dyscalculia, dysgraphia, dyspraxia, & auditory and visual processing disorders. Educational Pathways Academy's Comprehensive Approach to Learning is designed to effectively address the needs and challenges of students with learning differences and to instill a love of learning by nurturing their talents and strengths. EPA offers small classroom sizes and utilizes evidence-based methods and approaches such as Orton-Gillingham (OG) instruction, individualized education, hands-on, multi-sensory activities, assistive technology, and more to provide pathways of success for students with learning disabilities. Educational Pathways Academy has two campus locations that serve students and families in both Lee and Collier counties. EPA’s founding campus, known as Frey Campus, is located in Naples, Florida, and serves grades 1–8. In 2022, EPA opened its second campus in Estero, Florida. This campus serves grades 3–12.
