Making a Difference
CharacterPlus has partnered with school districts and communities to build a positive culture where students truly thrive. By equipping educators with evidence-based strategies, we help schools decrease behavioral issues, lift academic performance, and create spaces defined by trust and belonging.
CharacterPlus helps educators implement a school framework that creates a positive and healthy school environment where learning is enhanced, and students can thrive. CharacterPlus has proven results of increasing test scores and academic achievement while decreasing disciplinary incidents. In the Greater St. Louis Region alone, we serve:

The AESM family is grateful in having the support of the CharacterPlus Way program in our building. The program has progressively transformed our school culture from year one until present. Students now report that they enjoy coming to school and we have fewer altercations among students. Staff relationships have improved and we have noticed an increase in sense of ownership and belonging of our students.
