Our mission:
To help schools foster
whole-child excellence
in every student.
whole-child excellence
in every student.
To make it happen, we're empowering middle school students with a unique set of life skills. Skills that complement the academic skills they're learning in school. Skills that spark a zest for life and help them thrive as a whole - academically, mentally, socially and emotionally. Skills that set them up for success – in school, college and beyond. So, is your school ready to spark it up?
Powered by technology
Driven by empathy
Precision is important to us. We rely on data science and tech to bring you fresh new student insights and growth metadata that help you assess your school climate and measure student progress. We conduct extensive research to assess the learning, behavioral, mental and socio-emotional needs in middle school students. And our guided curriculum provides guidance and learning strategies to students that help bring about long-term changes and improvement in their behavior, and in turn, life.
