PARTNERSHIP OVERVIEW

The International Coalition of Girls’ Schools (ICGS) is pleased to partner with Challenge Success to research the well-being, engagement, and belonging of students in ICGS member schools. Through this partnership, we have collected actionable data around the well-being, engagement, and belonging of students in ICGS schools. Participating schools will have the opportunity to leverage these data to communicate the unique and powerful benefits of girls’ schools in general, as well as the differentiating factors that exist within their own school communities.

Stay tuned: research report to be released in Fall 2024!

SURVEY OVERVIEW

The Challenge Success Student Survey

The Student Survey (also known as the Challenge Success-Stanford Survey of School Experiences) is an approximately 30-minute, online survey for middle and high school students that helps schools gather data and insights that lead to actionable changes designed to improve student well-being, belonging, and engagement with learning. Over 250,000 students have taken this survey since it was developed by researchers at the Stanford Graduate School of Education in 2007.

Topics covered in survey

  • Physical health and well-being
  • Academic engagement
  • Support and belonging at school
  • Homework and extracurriculars
  • Grades and assessment
  • Parent expectations


[In working with Challenge Success] we were able to put student well-being and student voice at the center of our work. As we articulated and enacted this change, we have become a school that is centered on the students and by the students. A school where the girls are respected and in turn know their voice is valued. And as student well-being has been promoted, we have also seen an uptick in engagement.
