The Center for High School Success provides training, coaching, data analysis, peer learning opportunities, tools, and resources to help high schools substantially increase the number of 9th-graders on-track to graduate. Using the Ninth Grade Success Approach, we partner with high schools committed to becoming communities where all students excel academically, and race and socio-economic status do not predict success.

Kinder schools are safer schools. Kindness is a powerful, common-sense solution to some of schools’ and society’s biggest challenges.

By teaching children to practice kindness on a regular basis and to manage their emotions, actions, and words, they become better equipped to navigate our complex world and these challenging times.
