Challenge Success, is a non-profit affiliated with the Stanford University Graduate School of Education that partners with school communities to elevate student voice and implement research-based, equity-centered strategies that improve well-being, engagement, and belonging for all K-12 students.

The Challenge Success program supports schools to design and integrate evidence-based practices in five areas: 1) Timing and Scheduling; 2) Project and Problem-Based Learning; 3) Alternative and Authentic Assessments; 4) Climate of Care; and 5) Education for Parents, Students, and Staff. The program goals are to support students to be independent, adaptable, ethical, and engaged critical thinkers and to foster learners who are healthy, motivated, and prepared for the wide variety of tasks they will face as adults.

LBUSD has been working with Challenge Success since 2018 to support student success. The partnership has also supported positive family engagement, bringing high-impact speakers such as Julie-Lythcott Haims, Denise Pope, Ph.D., and Mark Brackett to speak on topics relating to healthy child development.
