About Pathway Higher Education Service

OUR MISSION

Pathway Higher Education Service was established with a mission of helping schools, parents and communities foster well-rounded and world class citizens. We believe that education is not just about knowledge, classroom teaching and technical skills, but also about inspiration, responsibility, discipline, ambition, persistence, citizenship, collaboration, and the ability to overcome failure. In many schools and institutions, classroom teaching needs to focus on the collection of knowledge, and there is not much room in extra curriculum activities that will allow them to train students in other important aspects.


We believe that quality education happens both inside and outside of the classroom, and that education should start early and should last life long. We strive to complement the traditional form of knowledge based classroom teaching with a focus on


  • global competency
  • culture awareness
  • leadership quality
  • good citizenship
  • talent development
  • mental health
  • spiritual growth

Pathway Highe Education Service has a taskforce of experieced teachers and program directors who have been in the education field for decades, who have in-depth knowledge of education systems of various countries and who have been leading forces in cultural exchange. We work with universities, schools or learning centers to help training overseas students in the above area, by introducing exchange programs, organizing short-term training programs, or helping students find schools taylored to their talents.


We help international students through short term training camps as well as school admissions, from junior high to college level. With students and their future as our best interest, we work with parents, counselors, universities and various institutions to help making wise decisions and place the students where they best belong.


We are constantly looking for partners. With the world becoming smaller and smaller, we hope that you would join us in utilizing the strength of education systems from different countries to train world class citizens. We look forward to hearing from you, and together we can make a difference!
