Mont. Tue Duc is Pathway School's Montessori-inspired preschool program used in Doan Ket Kindergarten. The first six years are shaped by Montessori education, Vietnamese education, Harmony SEL, extensive English language support, physical education, and music sensory activities. Mont. Tue Duc emphasizes Love and Respect, mindfulness, and gentle yet firm guidance to help children understand themselves and develop self-respect. The curriculum develops knowledge, skills, and emotions through hands-on activities, focusing on concentration, environmental awareness, and interpersonal learning. English language development is integrated via Pathway's ESL program with immersion and 25% of English lessons taught by foreign teachers, and it is complemented by the Doodle Town Curriculum for English language learners.

The school nurtures ethics, develops intellect, and builds resilience. Character development and personal growth are fostered through experiential learning, moral education, and resilience-building activities. Learning through real-life experiences helps children think clearly, develop concentration, and cultivate a love of learning. The classrooms are airy and well-organized, helping children feel safe and comfortable and form positive study habits.

The school provides a spacious and safe outdoor play area and safe indoor learning spaces.

Enrollment Process. Pathway School conducts the enrollment process attentively to ensure that parents and teachers understand the educational perspectives and teaching methods and have an effective cooperative relationship to best assist a child's development from preschool through middle and high school. There are four steps: 1) School information research. Pathway School provides general information about Pathway School on its site. After selecting a suitable campus, parents move to the next step. 2) Register for advice. After choosing a campus, parents fill in the registration form; the Division of Enrollment provides a detailed curriculum and fee policy and arranges a campus visit. This visit gives families an opportunity to discuss fit and next steps. 3) Take an input test. The Division of Enrollment schedules a testing day after registration. Content varies by level: Preschool tests cover age eligibility, psychological and physical readiness, plus English, Vietnamese, and Maths, with a conduct assessment; Primary tests include English, Vietnamese, and Maths, with a skill survey for Grade 1; Middle and High school tests assess English, Literature, Maths, and Psychology and require a certificate of completion of the primary program. 4) Finish the enrollment process.
