Project PathBuilder
Project Overview
Project PathBuilder is independently developed and operated by Justin N. Howard. It helps rural Kentucky homeschool families provide academically grounded science education while retaining the flexibility of learning at home. The current biology course combines assigned reading, guided notes, written work, concept review, interactive activities, and selected instructor-led demonstrations. Parents remain central to their students’ education, while the project provides course structure, scientific instruction, and dependable educational resources.
How the Program Works
Project PathBuilder provides structured science courses for homeschool families. Parents and guardians remain responsible for how the course is recorded in their own homeschool records, whether credit is awarded, and how grades are used.
The PathBuilder Portal manages family registration, required agreements, student information, and classroom-account readiness. Moodle is a separate classroom system that hosts course materials, assignments, activities, progress, and grades.
Foundations of Biology
BIO 001 Foundations of Biology is independently developed and taught by Justin N. Howard. It is not sponsored, administered, or endorsed by Somerset Community College or the Kentucky Community and Technical College System, and it is not a dual-credit or college-credit course.
