Pathways School
(618) 355-4410
Several years ago, BASSC developed the Pathways program in order to assist the BASSC member districts in providing specialized learning opportunities for students who have substantial social, emotional and behavior disorders. Students who are typically referred to Pathways have not been successful in a public school setting. For these reasons, Pathways was approved as a “special public day school” by the Illinois State Board of Education. Pathways currently serves students aged 6-21. Both the Pathways Elementary and High School buildings are located adjacent to the BASSC central office. Placement decisions to refer students to either of the Pathways programs occur at IEP meetings. Pathways staff are skilled in providing a therapeutic learning environment to support and guide each student’s specialized needs. Staff are trained in delivering current best instructional practices.

Superior Waterproofing & Restoration Co., Inc.
(314) 531-6100
Superior Waterproofing was founded in 1979 by Thomas John Schmitt. Tom sought to obtain the vision of the ideal ‘American Dream’; to build his own small business. He learned his skill in the trades from his late father Ralph Bernard Schmitt and his former employer. Superior made its entrance into the industry through the residential market waterproofing homes, basements and small commercial spaces. All the while, with the help of a few loyal hard working employees and friends; a reputation of quality, honesty and hard work was built.
Through an evolutionary process the term ‘restoration’ was added to the name in 1986. The demand within the St. Louis market for qualified masonry & concrete restoration contractors was on the rise. Tom quickly realized this and was not going to allow this opportunity to be overlooked. Superior Waterproofing & Restoration Company, Inc. was forever transformed in a dramatic way. Superior thus began to take the commercial market head on to fulfill the demand. With perseverance as one of the key driving forces the company grew over 34 year’s by completing one quality project after another.
