Instead of panicked and packaged,

the teen years should be 

Authentic

Together, let’s make high school and college

Eight Great Years

Our Mission

For too long, we’ve been asking students "What’s wrong?" instead of building on what’s strong. 

Our teens’ education should be a truly strengths-based and developmental path, where students explore interests, build competencies, connect learnings and passions, and continually master the art of becoming.    

 

Eight Great Years works with parents, students, and schools, and shares ideas and insights to help create a culture and tools for authentic student development.
