History
Pathway Primary School, an emerging centre of education excellence in Chitungwiza. The school started its operations on the 1st of January 2009 at temporary sites at Waterland where the founders were operating an Early Childhood Development Centre. The school was then registered as an Aided Primary School on 1st May 2010.The successful establishment of Pathway Primary School was hinged around the impressive performance of Waterland ECD. Most parents were impressed by the caliber of children the centre produced. They were however dissatisfied by the primary schools which absorbed these children. They were ill-equipped to perpetuate the culture of excellence. The parents appealed to Waterland authorities to establish a private primary school to ensure continuity of standards.
