About the Pathway Partners Program

Launched by ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ in October, the Pathway Partners Program is a new K-12 educational partnership designed to create mutually beneficial lifelong learning opportunities between ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ and the students, families and employees of its partner schools. While ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ develops each partnership to address the unique needs of the partner school, agreements typically include a tuition discount, dual enrollment opportunities, continuing education and graduate programming for partner employees, traditional undergraduate enrollment scholarships, special campus events and facility access, and summer camp programming for partner students.

“These newly formed partnerships formalize the long-standing relationships that we have had with these two organizations located right in our backyard,” said Rob Pepper, associate provost for graduate and professional studies and university partnerships at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ. “We are looking forward to many additional years of collaboration. We hope to increase the opportunities for ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ students to work alongside leaders and teachers at Christian School of York and Logos Academy as they gain valuable experiential opportunities. We are also pleased to intentionally work to make a Christ-centered education more affordable at the undergraduate and graduate level for CSY and Logos graduates, parents, teachers and administrators.”
