The only SEL program of its kind
Guiding young minds into a future of possibilities
Today’s teens are dealing with more pressures than ever—from social media to mental health struggles and figuring out who they are. But what if these challenges could be turned into opportunities for growth and self-discovery?
That’s where our Into Adulthood program comes in. Not your typical SEL program, Into Adulthood is a year-long journey that equips students with the skills they need to thrive—not just in school, but in life.
Backed by the CASEL framework, we help young people understand themselves, build strong relationships, and make decisions that align with their values. This program is about more than just getting through high school—it’s about preparing for a life full of purpose, passion, and opportunity.
What is Into Adulthood?
A social & emotional learning program, lighting the path to adulthood
Imagine a school that doesn’t just educate but transforms.
The Into Adulthood program offers more than just SEL education—it’s a complete reimagining of what education can be. Designed for years 7-12 and features immersive lessons, workshops, and real-world activities that build self-awareness, resilience, empathy, and leadership.
Our schoolwide approach to SEL goes beyond weekly lessons or morning breathing exercises. When fully implemented, you will see SEL woven throughout all classrooms, across the school building, and in the broader school community.
While students learn to tackle life’s challenges, teachers and parents are equipped with the tools to support them, creating a connected school environment.
Here’s a closer look at what makes this program special:
Holistic learning
The program blends classroom lessons, workshops, and real-world applications. Students engage in face-to-face sessions with their teachers, online resources, and hands-on activities.
Focus on SEL
SEL is the foundation for a meaningful life. Our program teaches students to manage their emotions, set and achieve goals, and build safe relationships that last, laying the groundwork for a fulfilling future.
Community involvement
True transformation happens when we work together. The program unites students, teachers, and parents to form a supportive network, enabling everyone to work together towards shared goals.
Personal growth
In a world full of pressures and distractions, knowing who you are is key to thriving. Our program helps students uncover their unique strengths, find their purpose, and celebrate each step of their journey into adulthood.
Support for everyone
Real change requires support. Our program gives teachers and parents the resources and guidance they need to help students grow, ensuring that every young person has a network of care and encouragement.
Rite of passage
Every young person deserves to be recognised for their growth. A Rite of Passage framework creates rituals and events, recognises individual talents, and celebrates their growth and journey.
Why research-backed
schoolwide SEL works best
CASEL research shows that schools with SEL programs help students succeed academically, socially, and personally. Here’s why a schoolwide approach is so transformative:
Better school environment: SEL programs improve the school atmosphere and increase attendance. Schools in CASEL’s initiative saw better academic results, stronger social skills, and fewer disciplinary issues.
Unified services: A systemic approach brings together various school programs into a cohesive plan, boosting staff morale and student learning.
Consistent SEL experience:Students learn SEL skills faster when they get consistent messages. A schoolwide approach ensures everyone—teachers, parents, and community members—works together.
Cultural responsiveness: Partnering with families and community groups makes SEL more relevant, respecting and incorporating different cultural perspectives.
