We believe in the brilliance of all students and that, with the right support, they can reach their highest aspirations. However, many students face a combination of economic, social, and academic barriers that make college nearly unattainable. With OneGoal, students can feel confident their high school diploma will not be their last.
Our model fits seamlessly into the flow of the school day and is embedded into the fabric of the K-12 system. We are a committed partner focused on complementing the existing work and increasing the capacity within the school. The results of these partnerships speak for themselves.

“Staffing a high school with enough quality postsecondary counselors to match the demand in comprehensive high schools is tough. OneGoal bridges that gap; the program identifies awesome teachers who want to take on more and equips them with the knowledge and skills it takes to offer the advice kids deserve.”
OneGoal partnerships staff work directly with school administrators to ensure the smooth integration of the OneGoal class into the school day, while also providing resources and expertise to collaborate on a school’s greater postsecondary strategy.
OneGoal Directors of Teacher Support guide teachers, called Program Directors, through all three years of the program, providing training, one-on-one coaching, professional development sessions with other Program Directors, a comprehensive, culturally responsive curriculum with daily lessons, specialized technology and access to our partner colleges.
Students in OneGoal take a class unlike any other in the building. Alongside a dedicated OneGoal Program Director and a cohort of their peers, students tackle OneGoal’s proven curriculum to reflect and affirm their sense of self, pursue greater academic achievement, and identify postsecondary paths aligned to their personal aspirations.
