We Grow GRIT Process

The process at We Grow GRIT is centered around instilling Growth Mindset, building Resilience, and fostering Independence so that students Thrive as lifelong learners. Whether a session happens in the classroom, during afterschool programs, in summer school, or at home, students are always put first. They are validated for their feelings—from frustration and boredom to discouragement or restlessness—supported through their mistakes, offered individualized attention, and given the tools to feel capable and motivated to move forward with confidence.

GROWTH MINDSET

Students learn about grit and growth mindset—the ability to face challenges, make mistakes, and be courageous.

Through hard work, practice, and learning from mistakes, they can grow and do better the next time. Everyone can do it, not just those with talent.

RESILIENCE

Students are recognized for their efforts, even (and especially) when they make mistakes, which builds resilience.

Respect, trust, and empathy between all allow engagement and learning to flourish. 

INDEPENDENCE

Students receive individualized instruction and support, making them stronger, more independent learners.

Support for mastery is tailored to the needs of the individual learner. 

THRIVE

Students thrive when they feel confident in themselves as learners.

We believe in providing social-emotional support and differentiated instruction, allowing students to make progress, learn, and succeed at their own level and pace.
