“Our students have had a really positive experience with Wayfinder. It is incredible to see how it helps them think through what is important to them, and determine who their allies and supporters are."

Timeline
Independence High School implemented the purpose toolkits first in 2018 with Principal Klafter and a few teachers. In 2020 they expanded to integrate the belonging toolkit with more teachers.
How it's implemented
Independence High School uses Wayfinder as part of the advisory curriculum.
Each advisory has 5-12 students with an advisor who leads them through the curriculum over the year.
They use the Belonging 3 curriculum for 9th grade and Purpose 1 for 10th grade.
They are set to expand to a all school model to include 11th and 12th grade.
The staff has developed from the curriculum and had a very positive experience with Wayfinder.
They used Wayfinder as part of their intentional community building program to help their new online students.
“We have loved Wayfinder so far and are excited to keep using it in the future.”
