Welcome to the Center for Whole-Child Education, where we are dedicated to holistic and transformative learning and development for all young people. Drawing from the latest science of learning and development, we have synthesized the Essential Guiding Principles for Equitable Whole-Child Design. These principles serve as the foundation for our work in creating positive and thriving environments for students.

Our approach includes five key elements: positive developmental relationships, environments filled with safety and belonging, rich learning experiences and knowledge development, development of skills, habits, and mindsets, and integrated support systems. These elements are personalized, empowering, and culturally-affirming, ensuring that every student has access to high-quality opportunities for growth. We are proud to share the inspiring stories of schools across the country that are already embracing a whole-child purpose and putting the guiding principles into action.

From student-led conferences to inquiry-based curriculum, these schools are creating transformative learning experiences that empower students to reach their full potential. Join us in our mission to enhance the lives of all young people through whole-child education. Contact us today to learn more about our services and how we can support your school or district.

Together, we can create a brighter future for our children
