Are you concerned about your student finding the right friends in school?
Does the gap between traditional education and the real world concern you?
Do you think students learn best by doing?
We Understand! Many of us on the leadership and staff at Wayfinder are parents ourselves. We understand that finding the right school for your student can feel like a daunting task with high stakes.
LIFE SKILLS
All content areas are taught through the lens of L.I.F.E. (leadership, innovation, faith and entrepreneurship) skills that are relevant for every stage of life.
EXPERIENCE-BASED LEARNING
Our team has the experience and resources to give your student the practical, experience-based training he or she needs to be a competitive, relevant member of society.
PROBLEM-SOLVING
The Wayfinder approach to education totally rejects spoon-fed answers. The constant change of the real word requires innovators, not just students who regurgitate information. The Wayfinder Experience is designed around opportunities to apply those problem-solving skills to real-world issues.
RIGOROUS ACADEMICS
Simply put, we stand for the very best in academic excellence and will work tirelessly to ensure your student grows into his or her full academic potential. Our class sizes are limited to ensure we can provide a personalized experience for all students.
CRITICAL THINKING
Our teachers have a proven track record of helping students hone their critical thinking skills. The modern workforce requires fresh, analytical thinking that results in forward-thinking solutions.
CHRISTIAN VALUES
World-class academic education can only truly prepare new leaders if students are taught how to ground their innovative thinking in values that have stood the test of time. Wayfinder encourages students to use their skills and abilities for good to discover their full potential.
