Company Summary

Students are faced with more challenges today than ever before, and they are not taught how to deal with them in 18 years of schooling. We set out to teach students what we wish someone had taught us: how to manage finances, start careers, maintain effective relationships, and reach goals. Organizations (high schools, colleges, greek organizations, and corporations) license our student success web platform to educate, engage, and retain students.
