Let Grow For Schools
Want your students to be more independent and engaged?
It’s not your imagination that more students are struggling to do things for themselves, solve simple problems, and expect constant direction at school. They aren’t self-directed, confident kids at home, so they can’t be self-directed, engaged learners at school. Let Grow School Programs are free, easy, and get parents engaged in building independence at home that will naturally make them better students. No cost and no instructional time required, one superintendent called Let Grow “a silver bullet“ for building essential skills.
Let Grow School Programs
Competence and confidence grow hand in hand.
The Let Grow Experience
Our complete full-year student and parent curriculum for building agency is free, easy to use, and all available through a shared Google Drive. Promote independence as a pillar of your school culture with a school-wide program designed by educators to strengthen home-school participation, support empathy and equity, and help with:
- Agency
- Self-Confidence
- Executive Functions
Think For Yourself Essay Contest
When kids leave their comfort zone, it’s cause for applause. Our high school essay contest awards $8000 in college scholarships for students’ stories about a time they stood up for freedom of thought, speech, or deed in their everyday lives. Scholarships can be used for:
- Colleges and Universities
- Community Colleges
- Trade or Technical Schools

Play Club Case Study #1: Discovery Ridge Elementary
BACKGROUND
Students at Discovery Ridge Elementary in O’Fallon, Missouri, were tattling and fighting more than they did before COVID and expecting the adults to soothe them. P.E. Teacher Chris Sevier thought free play might help kids become more mature and self regulating. In Play Club students organize their own fun and solve their own conflicts. An adult is present, but only as a “lifeguard.” Chris started a before-school Let Grow Play Club two mornings a week open to all the kids. He had 72 participate, with the K – 2nd graders one morning and the 3rd – 5th graders another.
