The Leadership U. program provides grade-appropriate preparation scaffolded through four curriculum manuals, each tailored to a specific stage of learning, and includes a supplement to guide high school students through the college application process. The interactive lessons of the curriculum focus students on getting into and succeeding in college. In addition to building on the skills of the curriculum, this program for high school juniors and seniors provides a safe framework in which they can further explore identity, step into their roles as leaders in their community and the wider world, understand college-level expectations, enhance communication skills, learn from their mistakes, define and plan for success, manage personal finances, and develop the skills to balance social and academic life. All lessons follow The Leadership Program’s proven-effective approach to enrichment and social and emotional learning, which has been implemented in thousands of classrooms for hundreds of thousands of students.
