“Nature's path academy - in 2019, one step assumed ownership of a school that was on the verge of closing its doors. We recognized that the school was located in a low income area of virginia beach and that there was a need for quality education at rates that the families could afford. Within a few short months after obtaining ownership, the school went from being on the verge of closing to doubling enrollment and becoming fiscally sound all while lowering the tuition rates to make it more accessible to the families in the area. We further assisted the community by enrolling in the vendor program through social services. By the end of 2019, over 40% of the children enrolled at nature's path were from families receiving assistance through the subsidy program offered by social services.”
