According to the Polynesian Voyaging Society, wayfinding is the practice of using natural clues to reach a destination without the use of maps or GPS. To this day, Wayfinders continue to use these skills handed down through many generations to find resources, navigate challenges, and reach their goals.
Wayfinding requires teamwork to succeed. This is why our curriculum is built upon research by leading experts in K-12 education and co-designed with students and teachers nationwide. Through collaboration with our trusted partners, we're able to provide relevant, flexible learning opportunities loved by students and teachers alike.
"[Wayfinders] are confident, highly capable navigators, knowing that there are many, many paths to the same destination."
