CURRICULUM OVERVIEW
EVERY STUDENT. EVERY GRADE.
The Next Level Students curriculum is designed to meet students where they are—building character, confidence, and life skills from elementary through high school. Each edition is age-appropriate, engaging, and aligned to support growth at every stage of development.
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL EDITION
The Next Level Students Grades 3–5 Curriculum introduces essential social and emotional learning skills as students begin developing independence. Lessons are age-appropriate, engaging, and designed to build a strong foundation for character, behavior, and positive school culture.
MIDDLE SCHOOL EDITION
The Next Level Students Grades 6–8 Curriculum supports students during a critical stage of growth. Using relatable stories and PBIS-aligned SEL frameworks, the program helps students build core behaviors, make better choices, and prepare for a successful transition to high school.
HIGH SCHOOL EDITION
The Next Level Students Grades 9–12 Curriculum prepares students for life beyond high school with a focus on college and career readiness. Lessons connect purpose, decision-making, and long-term goals, helping students plan for their future with confidence and intention.
EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH
SOCIAL & EMOTIONAL
LEARNING
The Jeremy Anderson Group has partnered with curriculum experts to develop Next Level Students, a research-based, evidence-based social emotional learning curriculum.
Next Level Students focuses on six core competencies: Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Skills, and Responsible Decision Making.
The K-12 Next Level Students SEL curriculum is aligned to CASEL standards and helps students develop essential life skills needed for academic success, positive relationships, and lifelong growth.
Schools, counselors, administrators, and educators across the country are using this curriculum to support student success, reduce discipline issues, and strengthen school culture.
​
This curriculum aligns with PBIS and is currently being used in schools, districts, and organizations nationwide.
The Problem:
Hundreds of thousands of students drop out of school each year without a high school diploma, costing society billions of dollars.
In 2021, over 4.5 million people ages 16–24 were neither enrolled in school nor working.
According to the CDC, suicide is the second leading cause of death for youth ages 10–14 and 20–34.
Bullying, violence, poor mental health, and lack of purpose continue to impact students nationwide.
Schools are seeking proactive solutions that address character, behavior, and emotional well-being — not just academics.
The Solution:
"Next Level Students" is a research-based curriculum designed to help students develop strong character, emotional intelligence, and decision-making skills.
The curriculum empowers students to take ownership of their choices, understand consequences, and build meaningful relationships.
Through engaging lessons, real-world scenarios, and practical strategies, students learn how to navigate challenges both in and out of the classroom.
Jeremy Anderson's personal story and experience in education bring authenticity and relatability that resonate with students across all grade levels.
