Management strategy

Curriculum
Academic
The school is proudly occupying the number 1 spot in the Chitungwiza District following an astounding 100% pass rate for the ZIMSEC 2015 grade 7 exam.
The institute is also a registered Cambridge International School whose pupils sit for the Cambridge Primary Checkpoint.
We have classes from ECD, Primary and Forms 1 to 3.
ICT
We offer First World technology in the form of Brainchecker Technology. This is an advanced dermatoglyphics technique of revealing any individual’s genetic potential through fingerprints. A child’s potential career can be determined through this.
In today’s society, Computing and IT is fundamental in ensuring inclusive, personalised, enhanced and extended learning experiences. At Pathway, we believe that Computing / IT has an essential role in helping us to achieve these wider aims.
We have two dedicated Computer suites that are very reliable and up to date. We use a wide variety of software ranging from Authoring Systems, Desktop Publishing, Graphic Software, Reference Software, Tutorial Software, Educational Games, Math Problem Solving Software and Utility Software.
We constantly monitor the opportunities available to students regarding both hardware and software and this encompasses VLEs and free software for students when and where available. Our computer lessons are enhanced by the use of interactive screens which are installed in the lab. Much appreciation to Mr Gotamie, Mr Mavu and Mrs Jena in this department.
