WHAT IS THE PATHFINDER PROJECT?

The Pathfinder Project: Exploring the Power of One is an easy-to-implement program for classroom instruction that helps students reach higher levels of personal and academic success. The project demonstrates that when students are in the right environment, they are able to find their way to the ideas and knowledge that truly excites them. When students are inspired and their sense of possibility about themselves is tapped, they can break through the barriers, the fear, and the limits that prevent them from realizing their aspirations and potential.
