Empower Your Child's Learning Journey with the Pathfinder Program!

Is home-based learning the right path for your K-6 child? The Pathfinder Program from Crater Lake Academy offers a flexible and personalized option designed to help families thrive who want a home-based learning environment!

We understand that you know your child best and family needs are unique. That's why our Pathfinder Program empowers you to tailor your child’s education to their unique needs, all while benefiting from the support and resources of Crater Lake Academy.

With the Pathfinder Program, you'll enjoy:

  • Greater Flexibility: A learning schedule that fits your family's needs.

  • Curriculum Support: Access comprehensive curriculum, online resources, and oversight from CLA Teachers.

  • Dedicated Teacher Guidance: Weekly connection meetings, extended learning experiences, and on-demand tutoring with a certified teacher provide ongoing engagement and communication opportunities for scholars.

  • Community Connection: Optional field trips, enrichment classes, and events create a connection with families within the Pathfinder Program and the larger CLA school community. 

High-Quality Curriculum & Progress Monitoring

Pathfinder scholars will benefit from high-quality instructional materials used across CLA programs. Along with curriculum support, we ensure accurate tracking of your child's learning with NWEA MAP Growth Benchmarking. This allows scholars, families, and CLA Teachers to track academic growth and celebrate achievements collaboratively.

As a parent or guardian in the Pathfinder Program, you are your child's primary Learning Coach, a truly vital partner in their educational success. This enriching role involves:

  • Guiding Daily Learning: You'll facilitate approximately 4-5 hours of daily learning activities, helping your child engage with the curriculum and complete assignments.

  • Monitoring Progress & Needs: You'll be on the front lines, observing your child's understanding, administering assessments, and identifying areas where additional support or challenge might be needed.

  • Maintaining Records: Fulfilling daily attendance requirements and tracking daily academic progress are key daily responsibilities.

  • Collaborating Weekly: You'll connect weekly with your assigned Crater Lake Academy teacher to discuss progress, troubleshoot challenges, and plan upcoming learning activities. Your insights are invaluable to our shared success!
