Life Building Blocks
"Taking GRiTedu in my sophomore year was the most crucial building block in my life. This class is about knowing yourself to be a superior person, fixing bad habits, and most importantly leadership. It has taught me many things in life; including responsibility, resilience, and leadership. I found out what I lacked and worked on it. I can now talk to others without feeling nervous and can properly speak up when necessary. It’s like I finally found the instructions for my Lego set, and by following it, I’ve been able to assemble new parts of myself."

School Administrator: Visible Impact, Promising Results
"GRiTspark and GRiTsel has been a game-changer in our middle school, helping students better understand themselves while building skills that impact all areas of their lives, now and well into the future. The ability to track data makes the impact visible, and the initial results are incredibly promising. We’re excited to see how GRiT continues to evolve."

Language That Changes
"Some of the changes I’ve seen, not only in myself and other people, are that our language has changed. I’m hearing a lot more of “I get to” instead of “I have to,” and that for me is a humongous thing. With that little change in our language, we start to become more positive and more motivated."

School Psychologist: Brain-Based Student Readiness
"GRiT offers students insights into personal and interpersonal competencies that support their abilities to engage in high level learning, manage their mental health, apply effective decision-making skills to meet goals, and demonstrate leadership in their community. In one lesson, students were led through engaging activities based on current neurological, psychological, and social-emotional learning frameworks. What a great opportunity for students to be career and college ready."
