Brett Killen, Principal at Canyon Crest Academy

"What I really appreciate about YouSchool is they got to know us—our strengths, our values, our needs, our goals—and then worked alongside us to customize programming and do what’s right for our young people and community, now and in the future. We realized we couldn’t do this important work alone, and the YouSchool has been a great partner in helping us to actualize our goals."

Life Foundations SEL Curriculum

Connecting with students is critical to achievement. We know teachers want to connect- it's what drives their passion for the work. Not to mention- students need support now more than ever before.

But...building connection these days is...different. And, prepping relevant, engaging lessons is too time-consuming.

Sometimes teachers feel hesitant to ‘go there’ with students; they aren’t sure what’s most relevant or appropriate.

With the mental health challenges kids are facing today, there's no time to waste. The curriculum has to be engaging as well as tied to learning standards. Whether your school has an advisory or homeroom period or not- this curriculum can help you.

Watch a short video together

30 short, engaging videos on CASEL's five big SEL themes.

Assign reflection questions

Thought-provoking questions, whether delivered fully digital or in person.

Easily facilitate discussion

With little or no prep, you can get your students talking and listening with each other.

Professional Development Offerings

The last thing you want is to spend money on training that is ineffective. Perhaps worse, you really, really don’t want to burn any trust with your staff. The training has to be relevant. And high quality. And worthwhile. Simple to understand. And simple to put into practice.

We get it. We don’t want to waste your time or money, either, so we promise we won’t. If we didn’t feel confident about the impact our training can have on your climate and culture, we wouldn’t be in this business.

In other words, we promise to be good!
