At iLEAD AV Exploration, our mission is to ignite a passion for learning that lasts a lifetime. By fostering each student’s innate curiosity and wonder, we empower them to meet rigorous academic standards and spark a lifelong love of learning.
Incorporating California Content Standards
To provide a comprehensive and challenging education, we adhere to the California content standards across all core subjects, including English language arts, mathematics, history-social science, science, arts, and more. Our curriculum is designed to meet and exceed these standards, ensuring that learners are well prepared for future academic endeavors and real-world challenges.
The Joy of Learning
At the heart of iLEAD’s educational philosophy is the belief that learning should be joyful and engaging. We strive to create an environment where learners feel excited to explore new ideas and confident in their ability to succeed. This joy of learning is cultivated through personalized, project-based learning (PBL) and support from highly qualified credentialed educators as well as mentorship from industry experts.
Emphasizing Lifelong Learning
The ultimate goal of our educational approach is to inspire learners to become lifelong learners. We want our learners to leave iLEAD with the skills, knowledge, and mindset needed to continue exploring, questioning, and growing throughout their lives. By integrating California state standards with innovative teaching practices and a focus on the joy of learning, we inspire our learners to stay curious, embrace lifelong learning, and make a positive impact on the world around them.
Save the date and plan to join us at Vince’s Pasta & Pizza on Friday, August 9, from 5:30 – 7:00 PM for iLEAD AV Exploration’s Meet the Facilitator Night! Come meet your new teacher and have dinner too! A portion of the night’s sales will be donated to our school!

Dear Parent/Guardian:
This spring your child took the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments for English Language Arts and Math. Learners in grade 5 and 8 also took the California Science Test.
These tests can be combined with other measures like MAP scores, Reports of Progress grades, individual learner work, and facilitator observations to give families and educators a more complete picture of each child’s learning. These results will be used to identify where your child is doing well and where they might need more support. It is important to know that summative test results are not used to determine whether a learner moves to the next grade. Facilitators will use the individual data points to support their learners where needed next year.
You can access your child’s score report through the Pathways parent portal. Not all assessments may have been scored yet, but we anticipate that they should all be completed within the next two weeks.
Your child’s score report will give you information about how well they met the expectations of the grade level and where they are doing well or need more support in each subject. This is helpful information to discuss with your child’s facilitator to understand how they can be better supported and how you can support learning at home.
To learn more about your child’s scores, go to the Starting Smarter website at https://www.ca.startingsmarter.org/. There, you will find information about test results, sample test questions, and free resources to support your child’s learning at home.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact your EF to arrange a conference or get assistance accessing the Pathways Parent Portal.
Sincerely,
The AV Exploration Leadership Team
