StepUp for Private and Faith-Based Schools

Why private schools choose StepUp

Private schools choose StepUp because it strengthens the academic foundation of their early grades while forming the habits and character their families value. It gives PreK through Grade 2 a distinctive, research-based program that sets the school apart.

Strong academic foundations

  • Early reading, math, and handwriting. Students build the foundational skills that later learning depends on.
  • Standards aligned. Lessons reinforce the skills your curriculum already targets, so time spent on StepUp supports classroom goals.
  • Ready to learn. Rhythm and movement build the attention, coordination, and self-control children need to succeed in the classroom.

Character your families will recognize

  • Perseverance. Lessons ask students to master motor patterns that are hard at first, and to keep going until they get it.
  • Improve with practice. Mistakes are part of every lesson. Children see themselves improve day by day and learn that faithful effort bears fruit.
  • Self-awareness and responsibility. Students learn to notice their own progress and take ownership of their practice.
  • Caring for one another. Teachers get practical tools for building social-emotional skills, helping children grow in patience, cooperation, and kindness.

Educating the whole child

StepUp engages mind and body together, reflecting a belief many faith-based schools share: that each child’s gifts are worth developing fully. Its multi-sensory, movement-based approach is something most schools don’t offer; it takes just 20 minutes a day and supports the curriculum you already teach.

Simple to run

  • StepUp runs on your Smart Board. Students don’t need accounts or devices.
  • Robust teacher training is included so teachers feel confident using the program on Day 1.
