Pathways into Teaching
We recognize the value of diverse pathways into the teaching profession. To support this, we collaborate with the South Carolina Department of Education to assist candidates seeking alternative certification. Through programs designed to provide flexibility and support, we help individuals transition into teaching roles even if they initially pursued different career paths. For more information on alternative certification options, visit the South Carolina Department of Education's Alternative Certification page.
