What is pathways?
At ANS, we see academic excellence as a journey starting from early childhood, grounded in a robust foundation. With 80 years of expertise in education and global leadership, we’ve developed a distinctive program tailored for 3-4-year-olds.
We use the renowned “Creative Curriculum,” aligning early childhood learning objectives with the academic goals children will encounter in Kindergarten and beyond. This curriculum ensures a smooth transition to kindergarten by preparing children for their academic journey.
Our program
Is grounded in research and has proven to increase Kindergarten readiness, particularly when children start the program at the age of 3. Through a curriculum that emphasizes play, exploration and discovery, we foster an environment where young minds can thrive.
Through our daily activities, children will:
- Enhance problem-solving, critical thinking, social-emotional intelligence, self-regulating skills and independence.
- Learn to count, measure, compare, and recognize mathematical concepts in daily life.
- Develop their language skills, Identify letters and names, expand vocabulary, and engage in reflective conversations.
Pathways also collaborates with parents to extend learning at home, aiming to provide children with the tools they need for a successful educational journey.
Our key Pillars
Academic Excellence
Our Pathways curriculum supports young learners in math, literacy, cognitive, social-emotional, physical, and language development. In our fully immersive English classrooms, children engage in meaningful interactions to develop essential skills.
Emotional Intelligence
We emphasize social-emotional regulation. Teachers help children recognize and label their emotions, teaching self-regulation techniques. This helps them empathize and resolve conflicts better.
Leadership Skills
In Pathways, children are empowered to lead their own learning through group projects and team-building activities. They learn to communicate, share ideas, and work together, building confidence and decision-making skills.
Talents and interests
Educators observe and engage with each child to understand their strengths and interests. At ANS, students receive early exposure to various fields such as athletics, art, music, robotics, and leadership, tailoring experiences to support individual growth.
Teaching Excellence
Pathways teachers are trained, accredited, and licensed to create a nurturing environment where children feel safe and confident to explore. Our educators use the latest educational practices and innovative teaching strategies to engage and inspire students.
Community Ties
At ANS, early childhood education goes beyond learning; it’s about building strong relationships and community ties. With over 4,500 alumni from 48 countries, our students join a diverse, globally connected network.

Mario Javier has become more independent and creative, and at the same time he has learned to be more patient with his classmates. When we went on our trip, it was amazing how the teacher made time to give him private lessons in zoom so he wouldn't miss his routine, I love that his classmates would send him drawings telling him how much they missed him. The promptness of the teacher's responses to emails is amazing, no matter the time of the day. The Storypark app is the best because we can see our child's activities. Pathways was really a very nice experience that my son enjoyed a lot. Thank you very much for everything and every detail you do for the well being of our children
