Our Mission

Our Mission

StepUP children develop a secure sense of self. They become more empowered to take responsibility for their own learning. Research shows that children develop academic diligence when they are involved with a Values-based education. They develop relational trust. They become articulate and able to talk freely and well. Through silence, quietness and reflectional techniques of the Values-based framework, children can understand much more deeply their work and their lives.

From the social perspective, Values-based Education promotes effective learning and underpins the continuous improvement of personal, social, moral and economic wellbeing. It is an investment in individual capability and self-responsibility and its product, therefore, promises significant value to society.

Over 500,000 children in the UK are unable to reach their true potential because of poverty and disadvantage and a school system that fails to serve their needs. Our mission is to reach as many children as possible in the UK and worldwide.

To better serve children outside of the UK, our learning programmes are also available online, completely free, until we are ready to take our learning centres to the rest of the world. By starting early and stressing the importance of character enrichment and empowerment through education, our centres will ensure that all children have access to the same learning opportunities as children from more fortunate backgrounds.
