Welcome to Pathways Learning Academy. We are proud to serve families in Arlington, Virginia, from our location inside Ballston Quarter Shopping Mall in partnership with Grace Community Church. You can find us on the second floor, conveniently located across from the elevators for easy access during drop-off and pick-up.
Our school serves families in Ashton Heights, Ballston–Virginia Square, Bluemont, Buckingham, Waycroft-Woodlawn, and nearby Arlington neighborhoods.
We offer Toddler, Preschool, and Pre-K programs designed to provide a nurturing environment where children build confidence, curiosity, and a strong foundation for future learning.
At Pathways Learning Academy, our curriculum supports social, emotional, and academic development through hands-on learning experiences that encourage creativity and exploration. We also offer enrichment opportunities such as Spanish, yoga, and additional activities that help expand each child’s interests beyond the classroom.
Families stay connected throughout the day with SproutAbout, our exclusive mobile app that provides live streaming classroom video and real-time updates about their child’s experiences and progress.
