Every child deserves to be seen, valued, and supported.
Heartwise exists at the intersection of education and wellness. We help schools become places of joy and belonging so all students have the opportunity to learn.
Our Vision
We believe that every human being has something to contribute. Our most important job as humans is to understand ourselves, discover and develop our gifts, and use those gifts to benefit our communities and the planet. Schools are microcosms of this larger global community. They can be places of joy, belonging, and learning for all students as they grow as learners and people.
Our Mission
We work with change makers who are reshaping the status quo to better serve students’ whole selves. We integrate the latest research and data to co-create practical solutions with educators, youth, and community leaders. Our clients use our services to strengthen, deepen, and expand their school transformation efforts.
Our Values
Kindness
We work to feed kindness in each other and ourselves. Kindness includes setting boundaries and discussing hard truths as we hold ourselves and each other with compassion and dignity.
Curiosity
We approach our work with fresh eyes. We explore new innovations. We're constantly learning, reflecting, and keeping open to possibilities.
Excellence
We’re committed to the highest quality of work product; our efforts help make our clients’, students, and families lives better.
Collaboration
We take a collaborative approach to our work internally, with clients and partners. We strive to bring out the best in each other, celebrate complementarity, and be generous with what we offer.
Equity
We consistently push ourselves and our clients to ask, is this serving all of our students, colleagues, and communities?
Pragmatism
Theory without grounding in practice doesn’t work for us. Everything we do must be practical, actionable, and achievable for our clients and colleagues.
