At Pathways in Education, we know that some of the most powerful lessons don’t always happen in front of a whiteboard—they happen out in the world.
That’s why we’re proud to be pioneers in
Experiential Learning: a hands-on, real-world approach to education that encourages students to learn by doing, seeing, and exploring. Through this model, students gain academic knowledge along with real-life skills, new perspectives, and unforgettable memories.

For Students, By Heart
What makes this program so special is that it’s offered completely free of charge to participating students. We know that many of our students face financial barriers—and we don’t believe cost should stand in the way of growth, discovery, or joy. That’s why Pathways covers travel, lodging, meals, and activities, ensuring that every selected student can fully embrace the experience.
These trips reflect our commitment to students’ growth. Whether it’s their first time out of their zip code or their first passport stamp, each experience helps them learn and gain new perspectives.

A Passport to Self-Discovery
When students travel with Pathways, they return with more than souvenirs—they come back with confidence, curiosity, and a renewed sense of purpose. They’ve tried new foods, met new people, and faced challenges that show them what they’re truly capable of.
