PATHFinder

INNOVATION DESCRIPTION

  • The PATHFinder (Personal Actions Towards Happiness) initiative provides students with opportunities to discover their passions through research, exploration, and experience. Students engage in building their personal, educational, and professional growth by pursuing their areas of strength and interests. PATHFinder supports students on their path to high school readiness and inspires students to work towards their college and/or career aspirations.

What is the most innovative feature of this program?

  • Conversations regarding colleges and/or careers typically start in high school. The PATHFinder initiative provides opportunities for elementary/middle school students to identify their strengths and discover their passions at a much earlier age. Various classroom activities and schoolwide events are held to encourage students to explore their passions and interests, creating a pathway for high school, college, and career.
