Mission

The mission of MAXCourage is to empower students to discover the value of courage and develop English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency. The program, through its mission, helps students recognize their capacity to address the troubling complexities of their world by exploring the concept of courage in literature, in their own lives, and in the broader community. At the same time, this SEL approach strengthens their literacy skills. MAXCourage’s overarching vision is to provide a model ELA curriculum which empowers students to learn about and continue to exhibit courage in their lives, and which inspires others to make bolder and more courageous choices.
