Pathways to Purpose

Academic growth. Leadership development. A stronger sense of purpose.

Designed for students in grades 6–8, Pathways to Purpose is a 10-week small-group program combining focused academic coaching, leadership development, mentorship, and family partnership.

The experience

More than tutoring—a pathway for the whole student.

Students meet in a supportive cohort where academic skill-building and leadership development work together. Each meeting is intentionally designed to help scholars strengthen how they learn, how they communicate, and how they see themselves.

01

Academic Coaching

Focused support with schoolwork, study skills, organization, goal-setting, and academic confidence.

02

Leadership Development

Interactive lessons that build self-awareness, communication, decision-making, discipline, and purpose.

03

Mentors & Speakers

Guest speakers and caring adults expose students to new possibilities, experiences, and perspectives.

04

Family Partnership

Orientation, ongoing check-ins, practical resources, and a final student showcase keep families engaged.

Leadership & personal development

Topics that help students know themselves and lead well.

Lessons are interactive, age-appropriate, and connected to students’ experiences, goals, and future possibilities.

  • Self-discovery, identity, gifts, and strengths
  • Confidence, voice, and self-advocacy
  • Communication and collaboration
  • Decision-making, discipline, and accountability
  • Goal-setting and turning purpose into action
