About Pathway Educational Group
With over 30 years of combined homeschool and teaching experience we are passionate about educating children well! Pathway Educational Group is a small group of homeschooling moms who share their expertise by encouraging and equipping homeschooling families. If you are homeschooling, it is because you discovered, like us, that there is no single perfect way to educate a child. Our team will partner with you to find the unique path for your student. Our mission is to seek God’s best in education and leave all pathways open so your child is prepared to fulfill God’s calling. In our ever-changing innovative world, we are educating children to fill jobs that might not even exist yet. Our team can coach you on keeping all doors open for higher education or career training. We are here for support, encouragement, advice and accountability.
