Why Currently Trending...
Currently Trending is not just a reflection of popular topics or passing fads, but a dynamic approach—spotlighting what’s most meaningful in each student’s journey. It means recognizing and nurturing the unique talents, passions, and personal interests that are gaining momentum, and supporting students as they transform these trends into lasting skills and achievements.
Our Mission
Currently Trending transforms the lives of rising 9th graders and their families by delivering four years of dynamic personal and professional development. Through expert coaching, we empower students and families to become resilient leaders—cultivating the skills, confidence, and vision to thrive in their homes, schools, and communities, and inspiring lasting impact for generations to come.
Our Unique Approach
Currently Trending establishes a four-year partnership with students and their families beginning the summer prior to high school entry. Through collaboration with city and school officials, we empower students and families to achieve on-time high school graduation by equipping them with the skills and support essential for success.
Our coaching team consists of experienced educators dedicated to guiding students on their academic and personal journeys. Working closely with parents, we develop a customized curriculum tailored to the unique needs of today’s high school students. Additionally, our program encourages parents to serve as valuable resources for one another, fostering a supportive community where shared experiences and insights contribute to collective growth and learning.
