  • 95% are chronically sleep deprived
  • 8 in 10 experienced a stress-related health symptom in the last month
  • 3/4 feel chronically worried and pressured about doing well in school
  • 87% are not fully engaged in their learning
  • HALF don’t feel accepted at their school
  • 1 in 4 doesn’t have a trusted adult connection at school

OUR IMPACT

Our partner schools have learned to apply our research in school settings to improve student well-being, belonging, and engagement with learning. Through our co-design model we have partnered with many types of schools: public, private/independent, religiously-affiliated, charter, magnet, single-gender, boarding, and more. Students and educators who have engaged with Challenge Success show improvement in a number of ways. A few examples of our direct impact include:

  • Reduced stress, more sleep, and more balance
  • Increased engagement in learning
  • Increased teacher support
  • Improved sense of belonging and connection
  • Increased academic integrity (less cheating)
  • Greater understanding of the importance of finding the right fit for post-secondary education
