In the age of AI & our expanding digital landscape, traditional academic models alone aren’t going to cut it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And with employers prioritizing digital literacy, innovation, adaptability & problem-solving, incorporating entrepreneurship into public school systems supports students future economic mobility & development.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Within our wellness curriculum for public schools, we teach students entrepreneurship & digital literacy to become aware of industry’s within the market, areas of opportunities & product-market fit.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not only does this diversify their skills & opportunities, it builds self efficacy, market value & accountability, all of which are supportive skills for college readiness & career advancement.

Economic mobility is a top priority in public education policy
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But most frameworks only measure 4 main qualifiers...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And they’re missing the emotional drivers that actually set economically viable students apart from those who are economically disadvantaged.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The main 4 qualifiers include:
- Housing
- Healthcare
- Jobs
- Education
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, these qualifiers focus solely on external factors without taking into account the development of:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•emotional resilience
•skills & aptitude
•self image & social identity
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These is why we incorporate our 5 internal elements into our “whole child” wellness curriculum for public schools.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
According to the National Institutes of Health, “resilience is now identified as a key component informing, ‘personal development’ by the English national school inspection framework (Ofsted, 2019)... Firstly, a sense of self-esteem & confidence, secondly a belief in one’s own self-efficacy & ability to deal with change & adaptation, & thirdly, a repertoire of social problem-solving approaches.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A students internal beliefs about themselves, their social standing & the world around them inform what jobs they choose & overall economic mobility.
