Coach Wooden's Pyramid of Success
Growth Mindset
A growth mindset encourages students to thrive when faced with adversity. Justice St. Academy’s fosters an environment of continual growth and positivity as students learn to take risks and meet challenges head on, embracing the productive struggle. Students are rewarded daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly for demonstrating perseverance and using a growth mindset. Through this process, they build self-awareness, character, and academic perseverance.
 

All stakeholders encourage students to embrace challenges, learn from feedback, and grow from mistakes. By partnering with Harper for Kids, students are taught the twelve building blocks of UCLA Coach Wooden’s Pyramid of Success and learn to embrace a mindset of continual growth. Each month a building block is highlighted and students earn awards for Character Traits of the Month starting with Hard Work and Enthusiasm in September, and ending with Personal Best in May.
