Youth & Education

We've Made a Difference in the Lives of Thousands of Students

Help us reach millions more. Different from intelligence, personality or social style, we tap into the instinctive ways students take action when they strive. Our programs empower students with the freedom to learn in the ways that are most natural to them, encouraging them to do what they do best and celebrating them for their unique abilities. 

When situations don’t cater to their capabilities, students receive strategies to help them persevere. Students report increased confidence, reduced stress and improved academic performance.

AH-HA Moments

Courtney Osterfelt

Director, The Launch Pad (A Non-Profit Teen Center)

"Kolbe helps youth 'story their lives into existence' by giving them an accurate language to describe what is most fundamental to them. It validates who they are and fosters a sense of dignity, worthiness, and love."

5th grade student with ADD

“I’m so happy I can tell my mom there is something about me that is perfect. Maybe I’ll wrap my Kolbe result up and put it under the tree for her. I know it will make her cry – the good way.”

Mickey Anderson

Teacher

“This system needs to be an integral basis for all aspects of education. I will not continue teaching if I cannot use the Kolbe Method in my job.”

Dr. Jane Armstrong

“A parent turned to me and said, ‘This puts it all into perspective. I’m trying to make him be me instead of letting him be him.’”

Pamela Armstrong

Ph. D. Psychologist

“The way society and schools are constructed causes an inordinate amount of labeling of kids, and increasing insistence they medicated in their formative years just because they respond to a different learning atmosphere and approach. I hope that Kathy’s vision becomes a reality and that schools and workplaces can be reshaped to fully accommodate and appreciate us ‘troublemakers.’”

Elizabeth Berry

Ph. D. Professor

“I can see it in my teaching. I’m much more tolerant now. I understand. I try to diversify assignments for all the different kinds of people.”
