Grow X SEL is a student-centered platform that helps students (grades 2–6) explore and strengthen their social and emotional skills in a fun, supportive learning environment. Built on over 15 years of research and classroom experience, it encourages students to understand themselves and others through daily emotion check-ins, interactive activities, and real-time feedback. The platform brings together four integrated components: (1) engaging, game-like social and emotional skill assessments that provide measurable insights, (2) real-time feedback that guides personal growth, (3) hands-on classroom kits that make social and emotional learning (SEL) experiential and relatable, and (4) step-by-step lessons with video supports that help teachers weave SEL into everyday instruction. Grow X SEL creates safe, inclusive spaces where students build self-awareness, empathy, and confidence, while giving teachers meaningful tools to nurture students’ learning and well-being.
“As educators ourselves, we understand how important it is to protect student privacy and create a safe space for learning,” said Dr. Jae H. Paik, Co-Founder of Grow X Education. “Earning iKeepSafe’s FERPA, COPPA, and CSPC certifications reaffirms our commitment to providing schools with secure, research-based tools that help every student grow academically, socially, and emotionally.”
“We congratulate Grow X on earning the iKeepSafe COPPA Safe Harbor, FERPA, and California Student Privacy Certifications! This process clearly shows their dedication to safeguarding student data,” said iKeepSafe President Amber Lindsay. “Schools can feel confident that Grow X meets iKeepSafe’s high standards of data privacy protection.”
