Our Work: Over the last three decades there has been an extraordinary and growing body of research that attests to the importance of school climate. Positive school climate supports learning and positive youth development. In the United States, and around the world, there is a growing interest in school climate reform and an appreciation that it is a viable, data-driven school improvement strategy that promotes safer, more productive schools.About: Foundation For Educational Success (FFES) is a "one-stop-shop" for parents, mentors, educators, school administrators, youth and youth service workers looking to improve the climate, culture, and relationships that drive them! The foundation was launched in 1998 as part of the founders' commitment to revolutionizing education and providing hope to young people and those who serve them. Today there is a disconnect (Great Divide) that exists between adults and youth. The mere existence of this division allows this division to grow making it more difficult for adults to relate things that are important in their world to those things important to youth. Success depends greatly on acknowledging that this divide exists and deliberately developing a bridge between the two worlds to bring them together. We seek to be your partner in changing lives and bridging this disconnect to bring the different worlds together. We provide practical methods and solutions to effectively communicate with youth and help them understand how to develop a plan for a successful future.Our philosophy is research-based and consistent with studies by several noted authors, educators and professors who have devoted their lives to providing proven strategies for improving education and the quality of lives for young people. School culture and climate, combined with sound relationships between youth and adults, are the foundation for educational success.
