WHO WE ARE
Mission: To provide educational support to Christian homeschool families of K-5th grade students.
Pathways Enrichment Program is a ministry of The Cause Church. We are a homeschool program that offers faith-based hybrid enrichment classes to support Christian homeschooling families in grades K-5th.
Classes will be taught by qualified instructors on Tuesdays and Fridays from 9 am - 2:30 pm and will utilize a pre-selected curriculum in the core subjects of Bible, Writing, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Families will receive monthly lesson plans to follow the curriculum on at-home days.
This is a drop-off program, and there is no requirement for parents to stay on site. However, we encourage families to connect with each other and develop community through field trip days and other activities in our program.
Pathways is not an accredited school, and therefore no academic files will be kept nor transcripts issued. Parents are considered the primary educator and will be required to oversee education during at-home days.
For Kindergarten, your child must be age 5 by September 1, 2024.
Location: We are renting space at Preston Ridge Church: 5849 Hillcrest Rd, Frisco, TX.
