Pathfinder School Calendar 2024–2025 is not a datebook. It’s the tale of a year of dreams, discovery and learning. Meaning on every page. Something new every day.
It is not a datebook. A rhythm. It makes teachers, students, and parents one family. It’s a joy of learning, community and love of learning.
The First Day of School: New Beginnings, New Faces
Party day, school opening day. A pretty and colorful scene. Smiling teachers welcoming the students. Smiling faces at every hallway, creaky lockers.
Parents’ farewells. Kids walk by new shiny footwear and huge packs that are maybe just a little too big. Seniors welcome freshmen with a wave.
Sitting its toes in things the first week, orientation welcomes all to where to be found. Campus life by Friday again is alive and about. At last, the year somehow comes full circle to beginnings.
