3rd Grade Teacher
Pathfinder Elementary

Hello! My name is Ava Stanley. I am excited to join Pathfinder as a 3rd-grade teacher this year. I graduated with a Bachelor's in Education from Grand Canyon University. I enjoy traveling, reading, pickleball, playing card games, watching movies, the outdoors, and quality time with friends and family. Some of my favorite authors include Jane Austen and C.S Lewis.  

My teaching philosophy: Every child is uniquely equipped with strengths, and it is my role to nurture these gifts while supporting them in areas of growth. Children's belief in themselves is foundational to their learning journey. Every child deserves an education where they are inspired to explore, grow, and develop into confident, capable individuals. I am committed to building an environment that provides meaningful educational opportunities and the right tools for success.
