We help our clients focus on what matters most – the students. Our support ranges from operations, financial and people services, to communications, legal, compliance and education services, which give our schools access to use our proven personalized learning model.
We support schools so they operate efficiently and cost effectively. We provide expertise and handle the details in facility acquisition, maintenance, technology services and procurement.
A critical part of our success is driven by using data and automation to improve overall operational efficiency.
Growing and sustaining a successful school model requires a business-minded approach towards education. It is an integral part of what we offer to our schools to ensure their financial health. Our financial team handles sustainability, forecasts performance, and supports growth and expansion. We provide support for budgeting, cash flow, coordination of audit and reporting requirements, federal and state regulatory report filing, payroll management and more.
An organization’s number one asset is its people. Our people services team provides strategic direction and expertise for leadership, coaching, employee relations, talent acquisition, engagement, culture, compensation, benefits, risk management, organizational design and change, performance management, learning and development. It takes special people to mentor, educate and serve students, and we’re here to support them in everything they do.
The most valuable resource for educators is time: time to focus on students and their success, time to connect and listen to them, and time to understand what motivates them. Because time focusing on students is an educator’s top priority — it is ours too.
We meticulously research and design exceptional educational products, so our schools don’t have to waste time away from students. Our services include curriculum development, professional learning programs, predictive analytics, experiential learning, trauma informed training, assessment services, community partnerships, compliance, accountability, student retention support and so much more!
Communicating a strong and consistent message is important to a school’s success. Our team guides messaging and communication strategy across all channels. We are experts in educational branding, public relations, advertising, video, social media, SEO, creative design, web design and external affairs. Our expertise helps schools grow and amplify their successes to the world.
The ability to communicate well during a crisis is essential. When the pandemic hit and we had to transform our education model to remote learning, we immediately established ways to effectively communicate with our students, parents and staff. We created special content on our website and intranet, pushed out regular email updates, and offered messaging about safety, tips for navigating distance learning and resolving tech issues. We were recognized for our efficient and effective communications by these respected organizations:
Schools have a unique set of laws and rules that govern how they must responsibly operate. Our legal and compliance teams work with our schools to ensure they are meeting all requirements and the highest ethical standards.
Trauma-Resilient Educational Communities (TREC) Training
The Trauma-Resilient Educational Communities (TREC) model improves individual and organizational health through healing-centered relationships and practices built upon equity, mindfulness, compassion, and growth mindsets. TREC is based on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) science and is a full accreditation model with six core trainings, a series of resilience programs for students, data collection and analysis, and the development of the TREC ecosystem of schools and partners.
All schools in the Learn4Life network are on a trek to become TREC Accredited. The 18–24-month process, culminating in an onsite accreditation review, ensures that all elements of the school meet the measures for being trauma-resilient.
TREC Trainings include:
· Foundations of ACEs Science and Trauma-Resilient Practices
· Mindfulness and Meditation
· Self-Care and Compassion Fatigue
· Relationships and Restorative Justice Practices
· Equity, Inclusion and Cultural Humility
· TREC Accreditation: Process and Practices
TREC Resilience Courses and Programs Include:
· HOPE (Helping Our Parenting students Excel)
· Jobs 4 California Graduates (J4CG – JAG)
· Meditation Courses and Clubs
