Charlie Life & Leadership Academy

Online content to engage, retain, and support your students

Charlie Academy’s career-prep and leadership courses are easy-to-implement solutions that offer your students the content they need and want.

With a rise in gap years and dwindling college enrollment rates, there’s a new demand for educators to create relevant and innovative ways to engage and support students.  

Students are savvy. They want essential skills that prepare them for their future—whatever their goals are. They want schools that offer a high return on investment. And they want a sense of connection—whether that’s online or on campus. 

But with tight budgets and limited time, it’s tough to create content that fosters a sense of belonging and helps students develop skills for real success.  

Charlie Academy content is an easy solution! 

Every single Charlie Academy course has something I can use in a weekly lecture. And the student groups who have experienced the Charlie Academy content are flexible, cohesive, and able to adapt in ways I haven’t seen before with previous cohorts.
