ALTERNATIVE ROUTE PROGRAMS
What is the Alternative Routes Program?

- Special Education
- English as a Second Language
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Japanese
- Mathematics
- Instrumental Music
- Early Childhood Special Education
- Bilingual Education
- Choral Music
(Other secondary subject matter shortage areas may be identified by each partnership. Contact each partnership for a list of the shortage areas covered by each program)

PLEASE NOTE: The PESB will not accept applications for admission to any of these programs.
