Anxious about your next faculty meeting? Dreading your upcoming parent conferences? Conflict is hard. Really hard.
But aren’t excellent opportunities surrounded by difficulty? By learning how Jesus pursues love through diversity and conflict, your team will become a unified, cohesive unit best positioned to accomplish your school’s goals.
After decades of research and hands-on application through workshops, we developed the 5 Practices of WayFinder. These Practices will transform your team and how they seek and engage conflict. From faculty and staff to parents and students, your school will become a place that thinks, acts, and leads like Jesus in the face of division. Become a WayFinder today and experience:
Stronger Together
St. Augustine Preparatory Academy had two enriching WayFinder experiences in 2022, equipping its leadership team and then the entire staff in the practices of Christian conflict transformation.

St. Augustine Prep was introduced to WayFinder at a time when the school was navigating polarizing conversations…
…about topics like race, sexuality, and politics. The leadership desired ways to approach these oft-avoided conversations with staff and students from a Biblical perspective and equipped 30 of their leaders with WayFinder.
As WayFinder began to be implemented in staff meetings and classrooms, St. Augustine Prep’s leadership…
…recognized the incredible opportunity for the entire school to have a common language around conflict and a set of formative practices. Their school realized a vision of freedom as their full staff was trained in this framework.
After experiencing WayFinder, St. Augustine Prep created their annual theme: Stronger Together…
Central to this theme is building deeper relationships between staff, students, and parents that glorify God by leaning into conflict. Now they can deepen and enrich their mission through every divisive situation, whether a difficult conversation or a policy decision.
