Three Dimensions of Student Achievement

EL Education empowers students to achieve multiple dimensions of success: mastery of knowledge and skills, character building, and high quality work.

Our expanded definition of student achievement honors students’ full humanity and draws on decades of research demonstrating that social, emotional, and academic development are inseparable and mutually reinforcing. When students excel across all three dimensions, they’re empowered to chart their futures and change the world for the better.
