Mission Statement

Pathway School exists to educate the minds, encourage the spirits, and develop the God-given potential of intelligent children who learn differently.

Purpose

Pathway School offers an alternative to traditional schools where 20% of the intelligent children sitting in classrooms are struggling to learn.

Within a nurturing Christian environment Pathway School equips those students, kindergarten through 9th grade, who are not being given the opportunity to realize their true learning potential to overcome the obstacles blocking their way to academic success. Pathway uses programs and strategies targeted to meet the needs of students who learn differently and meets each one at their assessed instructional level.

Our Goal

As students spend time at Pathway, they experience academic success and are encouraged to develop their areas of strength. Our students understand the unique ways they learn and are able to explain what they need to continue their success in learning, becoming advocates for their optimum instructional experience. They develop their ability to think critically about the world around them and are encouraged to continue seeking Biblical truth. Students leave Pathway with an increased level of self confidence and independence, embracing a hope for their future.
