In 1984, Robinson School received a $500,000 grant from the National Women´s Division of the General Board of Global Ministries of the United Methodist Church to establish a Learning Center designed to help emotionally-sound elementary and middle school students with normal to superior intellectual ability, who were not able to excel in a regular school because of developmental delays in perception and/or motor functions.

In 1993, Robinson School identified the need to develop a Junior High School curriculum for this program.  Once it had acquired the proper accreditation, the Learning Center was authorized to provide its students with a 9th Grade diploma.  In 1995, the Learning Center expanded its secondary school program, developing a curriculum for grades 10 through 12.  Robinson School graduated its first Learning Center Senior class in 1998. All four (4) students were successfully accepted to accredited universities in Puerto Rico and the United States.

During the last twenty years, the Learning Center Program has evolved into a unique educational alternative for students with specific learning disabilities. This program emphasizes skill development in major academic areas through appropriate, effective accommodations and teaching techniques.

Known today as the Pathways Program, it caters to the needs of over 200 students. Our primary goal is to mainstream our students so that they are able to achieve success in a traditional school setting, as well as in a post secondary institution.  In order to understand and educate our students with the best teaching practices, Robinson School has developed a partnership with Landmark schools.
