Welcome to the Pathfinder Education Program

Welcome to the Pathfinder Education Program website.

The Pathfinder Program has served Lancaster County’s youth since its inception in February 2002. Our grade 7-12 education program is specifically designed for students housed at the Lancaster County Youth Services Center.

We prioritize addressing each student’s individual needs, providing a tailored instructional environment that incorporates individualized instruction with specialized differentiation. This ensures that every student receives the attention and resources they need to succeed academically, regardless of their starting point.

Our commitment to our students extends beyond the classroom. Recognizing the importance of a smooth transition, we offer comprehensive support services for students entering and exiting the program. These transition services ensure students can complete their academic requirements while preparing to return to the community. We focus on creating personalized transition plans that address educational goals and the practical steps needed for reintegration into society.

At the Pathfinder Program, we believe in every student’s potential and strive to empower them to lead positive and productive lives. By fostering a supportive and adaptive learning environment, we help our students build the skills and confidence they need to achieve their full potential.
