Who Are We

The Chart Your Story (CHYS) curriculum consists of 12 lessons designed specifically for teens. This nautical based theme is evidence based, research backed, and people proven.  Through our curriculum, your teen can learn to direct the ship, avoid pitfalls, and stay afloat during the storm. Safe arrival comes through understanding the instrument panel, using exterior and interior guidance tools, and utilizing the support of the crew. With sites set on a new harbor each week, this curriculum is designed to introduce a new concept with a practical application, which can be practiced with a guide by their side in shallow waters during class. They will gain confidence to ride the waves towards their ultimate, self-created, heart-centered, enriched desired destination they’ve created.

As teens begin to chart their own stories, they will discover how their narratives influence the communities they belong to. They’ll learn to connect with and listen to others, seek opportunities to serve, and find the courage to share their experiences to benefit those around them. Our commitment is to provide a learning experience that enriches not only the participating teens but also creates a positive ripple effect throughout their peers, their homes, communities, and the broader world.

What educators are saying

“This is in alignment with the focus we have tried to work on in our district the last few years. Emotional resilience is a skill that is so important for the youth of today and there are so many students that are lacking these skills. We know that if we can help students to make these skills innate character traits they will be better able to survive and thrive in the world before them.”

“This has been an amazing program here at the high school. I have seen students who have oftentimes been comfortable hanging in the background I have seen them come to the surface and really share their story. These students' stories matter not just to them, but to their families and to their peers. As students begin to understand that their story can make a difference in the world around them is huge. I don’t think we can measure the impact of that and the impact it will have in their lives. We are so grateful as a high school to take part in this project and I would encourage anyone who is going to have this opportunity to embrace it wholeheartedly.”
Vice Principal Liddell, High School
“This opportunity was incredible for my students. It gave them a context to create the story they want for their future in a safe, inviting, and welcoming environment. Anytime you can give young people the opportunity to share their story, it’s important. So often, we discount what our youth have to say and what they feel. We think they are immature and don’t understand how the real world works, but the longer I work with kids, the more I learn from them on a daily basis than I do from most adults. They have important things to share, and this gives them the credibility to share.”
