Hope Torch after-school tutoring centers, called PAT Chapters, implement the Self-Worth Legacy programs designed to remove the obstacles that prevent students from discovering their self-worth. With Self-Worth revealed, aspects of academic motivation such as grit, growth mindset, and self-regulation are strengthened.Â
These programs have been developed and implemented in tuition centers across South India since 2012. Â
The Self-Worth Legacy core programs listed below focus on a set of objectives that both develop academic and global citizenship skills as well as work to bring about a self-worth-seeking mindset in the child.
Advanced Coaching - Tuition program strategy that creates an environment that empowers Self-Worth through academic tuitions.Â
Inside Out - A Counseling and Mentoring Program
Mathletics - Overcoming a Fear of Math and Experiencing Education from a Gamified Perspective
Hidden Treasures - Exploring Each Student’s Potential for Contributing to their Team and Community
Word Frames - Presenting Education from A Perspective that is Personal and Meaningful to the Student

Self-Worth Journal Program - Facilitating an exploration on the objectives and challenges in discovering Self-Worth within our environments.Â
