The Ikigai curriculum empowers high school students to discover purpose and balance through personal growth and global awareness. It combines social-emotional learning, executive functioning, and community building with units on cultural awareness, time management, meaningful engagement, and global citizenship. Through dynamic projects, live discussions, and asynchronous exploration, students develop practical skills like prioritization, organization, and overcoming procrastination, while fostering empathy and creativity. Rooted in the Japanese concept of ikigai—finding one’s reason for being—the course prepares students to lead purposeful, impactful lives in an interconnected world.
