Our Services

VitalPath Initiative

We invite you to explore the wide range of services we offer. At VPI, we strive to be a catalyst for transformative change, empowering individuals and institutions through our programs to achieve success and make a meaningful impact in their communities.

Programming Options

All of our programs run for six weeks and include 12 interactive sessions. Each program also offers an optional field trip experience at an additional cost, providing students with hands-on learning beyond the classroom.

To ensure high-quality, effective programming, most of our classes are led by two VPI staff members, all of whom are background-checked and Virtus-certified. When we bring in a special guest, we guarantee they are never left alone with students—they are always supervised and supported by our trained staff.

Our experienced classroom managers allow you to give your staff a much-needed break, while we lead engaging lessons that support student growth. Additionally, several of our programs—such as Health, Financial Literacy, Imaging Journal Journey, and Sustainably Nourished—are aligned with Ohio Learning Standards, allowing them to count toward mandated learning minutes. Schools also have the flexibility to use our programming as an elective or special course.

At VPI, we are deeply committed to partnering with local organizations to provide students with opportunities they may not otherwise have access to. We understand the challenges private schools face, from being understaffed to struggling to bring their full vision to life despite their best efforts. That’s why our mission is to support your school and community, ensuring that you can truly do it all and make your vision a reality!
