Overview

Four ways to start without a full-year commitment

Every short-term offering uses the same structure, mentorship, and expectations as our longer programs. The difference is length, not seriousness.

10 Day Sprint

Two weeks of focused momentum

A fast, high-structure introduction to the Strong Minds model. Ten consecutive program days of leadership practice, executive-function coaching, academic focus, and a short applied project students present at the end.

Ten structured program days
Daily check-in, planning, and reflection
One applied project with a closing presentation
Best for families testing a full program commitment

Winning Week

One-week training intensive

A one-week training experience built around a single leadership theme. Students work in a small group all week, build one skill deeply, and leave with a personal plan they can use immediately at school and at home.

Five consecutive training days
One theme, taught to mastery
Small-group instruction and daily practice
Personal action plan sent home at the end of the week

1-Day Trial

See a real program day

A single full program day inside a live Strong Minds session. Students experience the routine, the expectations, and the culture, and families receive a short observation summary afterward.
