Hello 1st Families!August 12, 2022

We are thrilled to welcome you back to Pathfinder K-8 for the upcoming 2022-23 year!


This year we are thrilled to have some big changes K-8! To support our scholars throughout their 9 years at Pathfinder we made the hard decision to transition to two 1st grade classes.


During budget season we invited the community to share their priorities, one of those priorities was small class sizes. We took this feedback seriously and prioritized small classes as much as possible - which is why we will continue with three K classrooms.

While we know change can cause discomfort, both Genya and Brendan are thrilled to welcome our new Turtles or Orca scholars! While we know change can cause discomfort, both Genya and Brendan are thrilled to welcome our new Turtles or Orca scholars!

This new model allows our scholars the following benefits, among others:


  • An opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with a wider range of adults at Pathfinder, including Mo.
  • Reading intervention supports, based on greatest need, 1st - 8th grade.
  • A higher teacher to student ratio throughout the academic day.
  • A larger menu of elective courses for our Middle School scholars.
Thank you for your understanding of this challenging decision and we look forward to the positive outcomes of it.
