Introducing Pathfinder Microschool!

Pathfinder Microschool is an online learning community for young people 8-18 who want to explore their interests, follow their curiosity, and learn in ways that feel meaningful to them.

Founded by Ganaia Praema, Pathfinder Learning is built around creative expression, individualized mentorship, and the belief that everyone has their own direction to discover.

Quest Classes help learners explore possibilities, discover new interests, and find new directions to pursue. Lab Classes help learners dive into a chosen direction through mindset, skill building, and reflection. Studio Classes give learners guidance while they create original work with independence and ownership of their projects.

Students and families can choose from our core classes, our electives, or they can design their own direction with structure and goal setting support.

We launch our first semester starting this fall, September 7, 2026. Registration is currently open for families who are interested in enrolling. To inquire about enrollment, contact Lead Mentor, Ganaia Praema, at ganaia@themusicmentor.org, (319) 284-9296, or fill out a Pathfinder Microschool Student Interest Form.
