Leader In Me

WHAT IS THE LEADER IN ME?

The Leader in Me is a whole-school leadership program that empowers students with the skills and mindsets they need to succeed in school and life. Based on Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, it helps develop leadership, responsibility, accountability, and goal-setting in every student. This program teaches students to lead themselves and others, creating a positive, supportive, achievement-focused school culture.

A NEW MINDSET

The Leader in Me promotes a growth mindset—the belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed through effort, learning, and perseverance. It encourages students to take initiative, set goals, work collaboratively, and reflect on their progress. This mindset helps students see challenges as opportunities, take responsibility for their actions, and believe in their ability to make a positive difference in their lives and communities.
