PHILOSOPHY
Pathfinder’s online summer school aims to address the basic skills, motivations, and work habits which help our students not only make-up their lost credits, but also to become more successful, productive students. To meet this goal, students when in class will:
- Be seated and ready to work at the beginning of class.
- Work independently on their own curriculum.
- Progress quietly through the different stages of their assignments.
- Work productively while logged in.
- Be respectful towards others when attending help sessions.
