Defined Identity

Students who engage in guided self-reflection become more confident in their values, beliefs, and self-worth.

Clear Purpose

Students who reflect on their innate talents, interests, and passions are clearer about the path they're on.

Strong Connections

Students who have stronger social ties feel more confident, do better in school and experience better mental health. 

YOU CAN DO WELL IN SCHOOL BUT STILL MISS OUT ON THE LIFE YOU’RE MEANT TO LIVE.

We all want students to be successful. But more so, we want them to be prepared to lead meaningful lives. 

It's not automatic, though, and it's not currently what school is prepared to deliver.

"I would recommend the YouSchool’s LifeScript course to other students because it really helped me understand what kind of person I want to become someday."

Raul R.
San Diego High School

Teenagers are forced to make decisions that determine how the rest of their life goes for them, but they aren’t given the right guidance to make wise, informed choices.

So we created a series of interactive courses (that actually work!) to help students find the clarity and confidence they need to make the right choices for the right reasons at the right time.

We get it- students are over-worked already. But we’ve found that getting them to start is the hardest part. Once they realize our courses aren’t lame, don’t feel like busy work, and in fact, are incredibly relevant to their lives because it’s about them- they jump in with both feet.

There’s never enough time to focus on everything that’s important. When you’ve got multiple kids in different sports and activities and school work and practices and games and tournaments and recitals and rehearsals…It’s too much! But the one thing we know is that time will pass, your kids will make decisions about their future and those decisions matter. There’s never an easy time to take a step back and do reflection work, but it’s the most significant priority you can make.

Maybe. But time is precious, and there’s a better way to figure out your life than by trial-and-error. What if you could’ve gotten clearer about who you are, what matters most to you, and how to construct a good life before you started to put it together?

We can't promise your kid will figure it all out, but the skills of self-reflection, thoughtful conversations about important life questions is critical to any kid making their way in the world.

Yeah, we think so, too.

The education system really started to focus on test scores and graduation rates back in the nineties, and they’ve squeezed everything they can out of it. Now, there’s a resurgence to put kids first and care for not just their minds but their hearts as well. We dream of a future where kids go through our courses every day at school as core curriculum- it’s just as important as you know how to make wise choices in life aligned to your own values as it is to write a five paragraph essay, wouldn’t you say?

Until then, we offer our courses to parents as well as schools. We charge money for these courses so that you have buy-in to get your kid to do the work and receive the benefit of self-awareness.
