The Pathway.

The Pathway is the academy's five-stage program architecture. Each stage is designed for a specific age and developmental level, with clear leadership skills and responsibilities your son will build along the way.

Your son moves to the next stage when he is equipped, when he has built the leadership skills and habits needed at that level, not just because he has gotten older.
