Now enrolling grades K-8 for the 2025-2026 school year.
Why Pathfinders?
In a landscape where education often adheres to convention, we dare to be different.
We care about more than test scores.
Adaptive Learning
We know the world is rapidly changing and it is our aim to prepare students to meet this change with ingenuity and competence. We tailor each individual's academic program to bolster their strengths and give special care to their weaknesses.
Discover Your Unique Purpose
We believe that each student possesses a God-given distinct purpose and mission in life. Our educational approach seeks to help students discover this purpose and foster a deep understanding of its significance within their generation and its place in time.
Education Beyond Memorization
We teach for more than just results on standardized tests. Success for every student hinges on fostering critical thinking, logical problem-solving, and engaging cross-disciplinary projects that translate knowledge into practical experience.
Who We Are
We built a school for our kids…and yours.

Pathfinders Academy believes that every child possesses a God-given distinct purpose and mission in life, and our educational approach aims to foster this purpose. We provide an environment that encourages and guides students to think rationally, critically, and creatively. At Pathfinders Academy, students are given agency over their learning, instilling the importance of responsibility and leadership at a young age. We believe that students are inspired to learn in an educational setting that focuses on experiential learning over worksheets. Stepping away from the traditional educational model of standardization, we give students the freedom to learn at their optimal pace and not be held back by the confines of their grade level, thus challenging each and every student. We value giving students the space to fail, learn from their mistakes, develop resilience, and embrace a growth-mindset. If these values resonate with you, then Pathfinders Academy may be the right fit for your child.
Our goal is to build up the next generation of world changers. However, it's essential to note that our focus on self-directed learning makes us less equipped to address chronic behavioral issues or significant learning disabilities. Our approach thrives in an environment where students take accountability for their academic progress, making us the optimal choice for those seeking a unique and empowering educational experience.

At Pathfinders Academy, we believe that grades alone should not and do not define a student's success and accomplishments. We assess student progress through comprehensive portfolios showcasing growth across subjects, through student exhibitions, as well as emphasize mastery of state standards in a transparent, regularly updated system. While we value and utilize standardized tests as one measure of accountability, our focus remains on nurturing well-rounded individuals.

Our Pathfinders Adventure Program is an outdoor-focused program where kids meet weekly with their mentors to learn spiritual principles, logic and reasoning, useful skills that promote independence, and engage in physical challenges.
We are presently in the process of developing additional extracurricular options to offer a wider range of choices for our students.
