Before graduating high school, every student deserves the opportunity to explore college and career pathways that help them plan for their future while earning college credit and career credentials. Savvas is meeting this need with Savvas PathMaker, an all-in-one, digital solution for college and career readiness.
Featuring Outlier by Savvas dual-enrollment courses and Savvas CTE career and technical education (CTE) courses, Savvas PathMaker gives students the opportunity to discover their passions, develop skills and knowledge, and prepare for the next stage of their life, whether that be college, career, or both.
Outlier by Savvas provides asynchronous dual-enrollment courses that enable students to simultaneously earn high school as well as real transferable college credits from the University of Pittsburgh. A flexible, digital solution that is easy for educators to implement, Outlier meets the needs of school districts looking to bring high-quality college courses to their high schools. Outlier’s courses include cinematically produced lectures by top-rated instructors and professors from renowned institutions such as NASA, MIT, Harvard, and Yale. The courses offer engaging, interactive features to increase students’ interest in the subject matter and mastery-based learning to better ensure they understand it. With Outlier, college credit is driven by the student’s overall course grade, not a high-stakes test like an AP® exam.
Savvas CTE courses inspire middle and high school students to explore career paths and develop the skills needed for success in today’s high-interest, high-demand jobs. The diverse catalog offers courses aligned with nationally recognized career clusters. Many courses prepare students to take industry-recognized certification exams and earn resume-boosting credentials employers value most. Savvas CTE offers educators a turnkey learning solution that’s easy to implement and integrates smoothly with learning management systems, including Savvas Realize. Providing engaging content and interactive learning features, Savvas CTE courses are designed to maximize student learning, motivation, and achievement.

Research shows students who participate in dual-enrollment courses are more likely to graduate high school, enroll in a four-year college, and complete a college degree. Studies show CTE programs have a positive impact on high school outcomes, including students’ academic achievement, high school graduation, employability skills, and college readiness. And, according to the Savvas Educator Index survey, K-12 educators see CTE programs (75%) and dual-enrollment classes (68%) as the most effective pathways for student success beyond high school.
Students need opportunities, while they are still in high school, that prepare them for the future of their choosing, not simply by dreaming about it but actively building it.
Savvas PathMaker enables educators to offer a diverse set of personalized opportunities for a wide variety of students’ college and career interests, preparing students to successfully pass industry certification exams and equipping them with transferable job skills and college credits to chart their own path forward.
