The Affinities Program

The Affinities Program was created and first implemented in 2003 at a independent girls school in New Jersey which Jenifer Fox led, making the school America's first explicitly strengths-based high school.

When you read the curriculum, you will see that it guides children toward strengths discovery through hands-on, interactive assignments. The curriculum touches on a wide variety of topics organized as a teen's personal journey toward the future. This is accomplished using interactive games, group activities, films, books, field trips, technology, and presentations.

The strengths approach presented here prepares children to:

• understand a wide variety of ways they can be successful
• feel passionate about work, given a wide spectrum of career choices
• think about careers without focusing too narrowly on one kind of job or area
  
• feel confident knowing what they love to do
  
• know what to look for in life, relationships, and work

The Affinities Program will be available to purchase in late April, 2008 on this site. If you are  interested  in learning when it becomes available, fill out the form below.
