Core Lessons™ for High School

What students need now…and beyond.

The High School years are undeniably a crucial time for young people to discover and practice the social and emotional skills necessary for a meaningful and successful life. These years present a tremendous opportunity to engage young people in deeper, more abstract thinking to help them confidently own the advancement of their social and emotional development. 

Core Lessons for High School is an age-appropriate, discussion-focused curriculum to engage and challenge students to develop who they are from the inside out and develop skills that increase their ability to be successful in school...and beyond. With our comprehensive curriculum, school districts can effectively implement progressive SEL programming without duplication, for 6th grade through 12th grade.
