Why should you choose the CURE Curriculum for your school?

The CURE Curriculum is a comprehensive social-emotional learning (SEL) program designed to help students build strong mental, emotional, and relational foundations—starting with the most critical element: self-worth. Research and child development experts agree that self-worth is the bedrock of all mental health, emotional resilience, and social development. When students believe they are worthy, capable, and valuable, every other area of growth becomes possible.

Confidence empowers students to take academic and personal risks, stay motivated, and persevere through challenges. Confident students are more focused, less anxious, and more likely to trust their judgment—skills that enhance decision-making and long-term well-being.

Understanding and relationship-building skills are essential for helping children thrive socially and emotionally. These skills teach students to communicate effectively, resolve conflicts, respond to others with empathy, and build trusting, secure relationships with peers and adults. When students feel connected and understood, they are more confident, cooperative, and socially engaged.

Resilience enables students to bounce back from setbacks, manage stress, and develop healthy coping strategies. Students with resilience are more adaptable, optimistic, and solution-focused. They can navigate life’s ups and downs with a growth mindset, confidence, and emotional regulation—essential traits for long-term academic and personal success.

Empathy gives students the capacity to deeply connect with others, read social cues, and practice kindness and respect. Empathetic students are less likely to bully, more likely to advocate for fairness, and better equipped to handle social stressors and build inclusive communities—both in school and beyond.

When students are given the tools to build self-worth through confidence, understanding, relationships, empathy, and resilience, they don’t just perform better in school—they thrive in every area of life. The CURE Curriculum is the antidote to the growing mental health crisis in schools, offering students the lifelong emotional skills they need to succeed inside the classroom and out in the world.
