Our pathways provide students with modern facilities and real-world learning environments where they can build skills through hands-on experiences. Through partnerships with local businesses, industry professionals, community organizations, and surrounding schools, students also gain exposure to authentic workplaces and career opportunities beyond the classroom.
Our facilities are an important part of the Pathways experience, giving students access to spaces designed for hands-on, career-connected learning. Use this page to discover some of the spaces you may want to check out during your visit at Old Saybrook High School. From our Business Center and Medical Simulation Lab to our Engineering & Innovation Lab, culinary spaces, art studios, auditorium, wood-shop, and more, these facilities give students opportunities to explore their interests, build skills, and experience learning beyond a traditional classroom.
