KIDS DESERVE

MORE THAN

TEST SCORES

If you’ve ever looked at the world and thought,
“This isn’t who we’re meant to be,” this work is for you.

Become A Founding Supporter

Our Mission

To provide values-based education to students, teachers, and parents.

OUR VISION

A world where all children grow up able to express human values
in their thoughts, words, and actions.

WHY THIS
MATTERS For You

Everywhere we look, there’s a crisis of character. The places that should be holding them (home, school, and community) are stretched thin.

The result? children are not really learning values anywhere.

They’re not learning how to care for their own wellbeing, or each other’s

Schools Under Pressure

Schools focus on performance and test scores. They’re rarely funded or incentivized to give students deep emotional support.

Exhausted Teachers

Teachers are trying to patch in social-emotional learning, but they’re exhausted and under-resourced.

Disconnected Homes

At home, many parents feel disconnected from their kids, eating in different rooms, on different schedules, on different screens.

That’s The Gap Human Values Collective Exists To Fill

How We Are Doing It

Bring Back Sunday Dinner

This program gives you weekly dinner guides that weave universal human values into real conversations

The Value of The Week

Get to know the value of the week, where you stay centered knowing that we are all working to be the light in dark places

Sunday Meditation

Every Sunday we create an intentional space of stillness, grounding, and reconnection with ourselves

Being an Unstoppable Teacher

A program for teachers who want to change lives and protect their own well-being, without burning out

Unstoppable Parents

An 8-week human values journey that turns your kitchen table into sacred space that your kids actually need

In-person Events

We host in-person events to hold a space to integrate the universal human values and practice them together

The Proof

For the last several years, we’ve been doing this human values practice in school classrooms in Chicago, and the students reported:

Increase in Happiness & Emotional Stability

33%

Improvement in Peer Connections

72%

Increase in Confident Decision Making

66%

Now, with your help, we’re ready for the next brave step: a school and co-op model grounded entirely in universal human values.

FROM THE DINNER TABLE
TO THE SCHOOL BUILDING

We’ve learned something simple but powerful

At Home

When families talk about values at the dinner table, everything else changes

Our “Bring Back Sunday Dinner” practice gives parents short, practical scripts to sit down, breathe together, and talk about real things:

• Self-worth

• Compassion

• Boundaries

• Belonging

• Courage

…in language kids can understand.

At School

Kids will be seen as whole human beings - heart, mind, and spirit

A private education co-operation where each classroom becomes a living example of what education can be when we give children what they truly need.

• Teachers are trained in universal human values

• Parents are partners, not outsiders

• Tuition is comparable to other private/homeschool collectives

• With financial aid so we are accessible for all family budgets

That is the school we’re building toward.
