Virtual Summit: GRiT for Charter Schools

A Neuroscience-Driven Blueprint for Stronger Students & Stronger Cultures

A clear, practical path to help students feel better, think better, and lead better—built on neuroscience, relational intelligence, and real data.

A Reality Charter Leaders are Facing

Students are walking into classrooms carrying more than ever before-stress, anxiety, pressure, uncertainty. And the ripple effects land on teachers, counselors, and administrators daily:

Attendance is slipping.
Discipline is consuming precious time.
Emotional dysregulation is becoming the norm.
Staff are stretched thin, trying to do everything for everyone.
Existing programs feel disconnected from what students actually need.

This isn’t a lack of effort but a lack of tools that match the moment.

What we'll cover in this one hour summit

This session is designed to give charter leaders clarity around what’s actually working in schools right now, and how GRiT is helping students shift from overwhelmed to equipped.

What GRiT really is

A neuroscience-driven relational intelligence curriculum that helps students understand:

how their brain works,
how emotions shape behavior,
how habits form,
and how to lead themselves with greater awareness and confidence.

Though CASEL aligned, this course offers neuroscience-driven learning that is powered by relational intelligence and gives students executive tools, redefined for education.

The data that makes the difference

We’ll show the real numbers coming out of GRiT schools, numbers that continue to surprise leaders:

15% increase in student mindset
11.09% improvement in Peace Index
Nearly 60% fewer discipline interventions
2.87% higher attendance

You’ll see why these shifts matter and what they look like in daily school culture.

Stories from the field

We’ll take time as a group to talk honestly about what you’re seeing in your own buildings—what’s working, what’s wearing people down, and where students are needing more support. This shared perspective matters. It helps us name the real challenges clearly and understand the patterns that are showing up across charter environments. Together, we’ll use that insight to make sense of the work ahead and the kind of tools that actually move the needle.

How GRiT scales in a charter environment

We’ll walk through the train-the-trainer model, showing how schools build internal capacity without relying on outside facilitators.

The goal: sustainable culture change that lives beyond a single school year.

What GRiTedu Teaches High School Students

A practical, neuroscience-informed curriculum that builds real-world leadership, responsibility, and self-management.

Relational Intelligence (Ri)

Students learn to understand themselves, read others, communicate clearly, solve conflict, and build healthy relationships using tools like the 5 Voices, support–challenge framework, and team dynamics.

Why it matters: stronger peer connections, fewer conflicts, and better classroom culture.

Identity & Self-Leadership

Students discover who they are, how they think, and how they make decisions under stress — then learn to lead themselves through mindset, language mastery, values, and internal drivers.

Why it matters: improved behavior, greater accountability, and stronger self-direction.

Emotional Regulation (Ei)

Students learn the neuroscience of stress, focus, and decision-making, gaining tools to regulate emotions, recover from setbacks, and stay composed under pressure.

Why it matters: fewer emotional blowups, calmer classrooms, and healthier coping skills.

Habits, Systems & Follow-Through (Si)

Students build the routines and internal systems that turn goals into consistent action through habit science, journaling, reflection, and accountability.

Why it matters: improved academics, stronger attendance patterns, and long-term student agency.

What you'll walk away with

By the end of the summit, you’ll walk away with:

A clear understanding of GRiT and why it resonates with students
The neuroscience helping students regulate, engage, and build healthy habits
Real outcomes from real charter schools

Next steps for exploring GRiT within your school or network

No pressure.
Just clarity.

"GRiT has made a measurable impact on our students’ mental well-being. We’ve seen stronger resilience, better attendance, and fewer behavior issues. GRiT gives students the tools to understand themselves and navigate real-life challenges."
