Education with Purpose. Life with Direction. All for Jesus.
First and foremost, we love Jesus. We believe education is all about teaching children to love the Lord their God with all their hearts, souls, minds, and strength and to love their neighbor as themselves. We are passionate about helping churches to help parents to educate their children--raising up the next generation of godly leaders in Christ's Church, in the business world, and in every other sphere of life.
We believe Jesus has a unique journey for every person's life and that we are called to help each member of our community become a Pathfinder. Come join the adventure.
Our Mission
To equip and empower church congregations to provide for parent-led education that forms disciples of Jesus Christ.
Our Vision
A world where Christian students stand as faithful witnesses in every sphere of culture to which they are called, knowledgeably and wisely contributing to discourse and decision making.
Our Team
Rob Rye, President
Our President, Rob Rye has an abiding passion for education and Christian discipleship. Since Rob met Jesus over 35 years ago at Stanford University, God has been preparing him for such a time as this. Though he earned a PhD from Harvard, he considers his most important credentials to be his life as a Christian husband, father, and mentor.
Rob and his wife, Elizabeth, have educated their three daughters at home for their whole lives. With over 20 years of experience in parent-led discipleship, the lessons they have learned in raising their children are myriad. Rob has had no greater teacher than their middle daughter, who has Down Syndrome. It is her simple faith and love that God has most used to show Rob the value of focusing on the two greatest commandments rather than on proving to the world how smart he is.
In his journey with the Lord, Rob has had many experiences that he has only recently learned would contribute to his life calling.
He has been a member of the National Board of Trustees of American Heritage Girls for over a decade including his current service as Board President since 2016. He has served on the Board of Directors of Trail Life USA since its inception. American Heritage Girls and Trail Life USA are ministries that use the scouting method to disciple girls and boys respectively. Rob has learned first-hand that ministries flourish when you build and maintain a team of passionate, faith-filled volunteers and employees, all pulling in the same direction.
As a teacher, Rob has experience instructing and developing curriculum for students at all levels, from four-year-old geographers to graduate students. Rob and his wife have developed and delivered a complete set of core academic high school courses over the past five years to homeschooled high schoolers. They will bring all of what God has equipped them with to bear in leading KAP to success: enabling each child to truly master each subject they study and to see how all that they learn fits into getting to know and learning to follow Jesus–the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
