Our Programs
“The development of competence AND character — building future-ready skills alongside ever-needed values.”
Competence & Character
Our programs uniquely combine future-ready skills with timeless values
Future-Ready Skills
Covers both future-ready skills and ever-needed values—the development of competence AND character.
Our curriculum addresses the critical skills gap, preparing children not just academically but for successful personal and professional lives.
Ever-Needed Values
Rather than training ‘memory machines,’ we nurture curious, confident, and creative individuals with strong character foundations.
We focus on the ‘PREPARE’ job at school—building lasting character traits that make an early and enduring difference.

As referenced in “How Children Succeed” by Paul Tough
Grit
Self-control
Zest
Social Intelligence
Gratitude
Optimism
Curiosity
What matters most in a child's development...is not how much information we can stuff into her brain…What matters instead, is whether we are able to help her develop a very different set of qualities, a list that includes persistence, self-control, curiosity, conscientiousness, grit and self-confidence. Economists refer to these as non-cognitive skills, psychologists call them personality traits, and the rest of us sometimes think of them as CHARACTER.
According to this new way of thinking, the conventional wisdom about child development over the past few decades has been misguided. We have been focusing on the wrong skills and abilities in our children, and we have been using the wrong strategies to help nurture and teach those skills.
