How to Navigate High School

Prepare young people for the journey, not the path

The traditional high school model was designed to prepare young people for a world that doesn't exist anymore. Learn about how the shared language of purpose can transform the school experience to make it more personally relevant, meaningful and enjoyable for students and educators alike.

It's no secret teachers and students are struggling.

However, there are some students and educators who are not only surviving, but thriving.  Research shows that compared to their peers, these thrivers are more engaged in school, are more self-directed, have better GPA’s and score higher on standardized tests. They are more likely to go to college, demonstrate “grit”, and are better equipped to handle mental illness and adversity. The same goes for educators: these teachers are more resilient, find their work more rewarding and have higher levels of meaning and fulfillment. 

What is the secret to their success?

What do they have that their peers do not?

A sense of purpose.

Find a better way

The good news is that people are innately purposeful: we are all intrinsically motivated to engage in the world. As educators and school leaders, our role isn’t to find our students' purpose, but to cultivate it in a world obsessed with performance. 
Whether it’s through our keynotes, workshops, curriculum, or assessments, our work provides educators and students the space and tools they need to cultivate their own purpose in and out of the classroom.

I was able to reflect on my goals before starting college and how I want to pursue them going forward. I realized that my idea of success is no longer only determined by my grades but also by my involvement outside of school and my mental health.
