About Pathify Global
"We believe in the spark and potential within every individual learner, the power to guide their own learning journey and growth with purpose. Learning knows no bounds of place, time, or person"
Our Mission
At Pathify Global, our goal is to ignite learners' curiosity about the world and help them feel deeply connected to the environments around them. Unlike traditional programs, we don't separate learning from life. We make it relevant, immersive, and alive through real-world learning experiences. We emphasise process over product, valuing exploration, reflection, skill development, and meaningful application along the way.
Through this journey, learners build the human skills that shape who they are, strengthen relationships, and help them thrive in learning and life. At the same time, they apply knowledge in authentic contexts and develop future-focused competencies that equip them to adapt, innovate, and lead with confidence and creativity in an ever-changing world.
This unique blend not only prepares learners for academic success but also empowers them to flourish far beyond it.
Our Vision
Finally, learning is no longer one-size-fits-all — but a rich tapestry of themes and skills shaped by each individual.
Our Pedagogy
We believe the education that best serves today's youth is interdisciplinary, experiential, student-centred, and competency-based. It connects learners directly to the people and places around them, bringing core subjects to life through meaningful application. Our students become adaptable problem solvers in every environment they're immersed in.
Our learning experiences invite learners to engage with real-world challenges through a lens of sustainability, innovation, and design—encouraging them to think critically, act creatively, and lead with empathy, bringing both their minds and hearts into purposeful learning. This journey is captured in an evolving student portfolio that showcases their growth, experiences, and emerging sense of purpose.

Our Two Guiding Pillars
Human Skills
Timeless qualities like empathy, communication, collaboration, creativity, and resilience. These are the capacities that make us deeply human and enable us to thrive in relationships and communities.
Future-Ready Competencies
Adaptive abilities like entrepreneurial thinking, critical thinking, problem-solving, digital literacy, and lifelong learning. These prepare us for a rapidly changing world and equip us to navigate uncertainty with confidence.
We believe that both are essential. Human skills anchor us in who we are, while future-ready competencies propel us into who we can become.
Our Story
Two educators. One shared conviction. A journey that began on opposite sides of the world.
The First Journey
Emma Gleeson spent years travelling and working across continents, immersed in the world of international education. In classrooms from Asia to Africa, from Europe to South America, she saw a strikingly familiar pattern: learners with bright eyes and limitless curiosity gradually shrinking into systems that measured them only by test scores. Emma met young learners who could tell captivating stories, solve complex problems, or lead their peers with confidence — but those gifts rarely counted. Too often, their human potential remained unseen by the very structures meant to nurture them.
Then everything shifted. Emma stepped into innovative, project-based learning environments where the rules were different. Instead of memorising, learners were building. Instead of repeating, they were questioning. Instead of being told who they were, they were discovering it for themselves. Designing curriculum and co-creating these experiences with students was electrifying — she could see sparks of confidence, creativity, and agency reigniting before her eyes. It was in those moments that the trajectory of Emma's own life changed. She realised that education didn't have to limit learners — it could set them free.
The Second Journey
Emily Kerrigan began her career in classrooms across the United States, working in a wide variety of schools and communities. For years she witnessed the challenges of trying to reach every learner within systems that often prioritised efficiency over individuality. The turning point came when she worked with SCALE (Stanford's Systems Change for Advancing Learning and Equity), where she was pushed to reimagine education through a new lens: meeting each child where they are and giving them a reason to learn through creating projects aligned to their content with the focus on embedded skills and application.
That shift deepened when Emily became a parent herself. Watching her own children learn revealed something powerful: when kids are interested, invested, and given choice, their energy and retention soar. She saw how voice and agency didn't just engage learners — they lit them up. Emily became convinced that education wasn't about pushing content into students; it was about designing experiences that draw out their curiosity, creativity, and confidence. Her conviction is clear: with technology shaping our world, human skills and future-ready competencies must sit at the very heart of learning.
The Convergence
Their paths converged when they began working together on an education initiative. At first, it was collaboration out of necessity, but quickly it became something more. Long nights of discussion turned into shared visions. Together, they experimented, tested bold ideas, and witnessed how small shifts — a more personalised pathway, a portfolio that captured growth beyond grades — could reignite a learner's confidence. These moments of transformation were fuel: proof that change was possible.
From these early experiments, their vision crystallised: to create an edtech platform that empowers learners to grow not only in knowledge, but in character, skills, and agency.
Learning is better together — building a community where families grow, explore, and thrive.
What We've Built
Their platform brings these values to life by creating highly personalised learning journeys that adapt to each learner's pace, style, and aspirations. Beyond academic mastery, it builds a living portfolio - a dynamic record of real-world learning experiences, reflections, and experiences that highlight not just what a learner knows, but who they are becoming.
What began as the story of two educators discovering a shared purpose has grown into a mission: to make education a lifelong, life-wide journey that honors individuality, unlocks human potential, and ensures every learner is ready to thrive in the future.
When learners are truly engaged, something shifts. Confidence grows, purpose deepens, and wellbeing flourishes — especially as they grow older and strive to find their place in the world.
