MindUP is a social emotional learning program that, since 2003, has been helping children develop the mental fitness necessary to thrive in school and throughout their lives.

Based firmly in neuroscience, MindUP gives children the knowledge and tools they need to manage stress, regulate emotions and face the challenges of the 21st century with optimism, resilience and compassion.

This school year, Kihei Elementary School implemented the MindUP! curriculum in select classes from each grade level. Included here is information about the specific program goals as well as supportive home learning opportunities aimed to reinforce the important social emotional learning of our Kihei students.
