“Ben, as the student, and we as his parents found the Junior Ph.D. of Leadership program was a terrific out of school, out of home program that identified and reinforced desirable personal values, and developed leadership character traits of fairness, firmness, self-confidence, and trust and integrity. Ben’s personal growth over the year of the program was most notable in a positive step change in taking more responsibility and developing more self-confidence. We found “chatting” through the notes outside of class helped to affirm the program and we were really pleased about the level of understanding of the issues most boys in this age bracket often struggle with which were role played in the classroom. Well done Melissa, this program really is a must for our boys who are, without doubt, our future.
