Ellis is here, and we would not be launching it without the partners who helped shape this work.

Thank you to the organizations and collaborators who share our commitment to helping educators support students with more clarity and care.

We’re grateful to be building alongside people who believe educators deserve guidance they can actually use when student concerns are complex.

Thank you Landmark Outreach , REEL , CAST (Center for Applied Special Technology) , Challenge Success, NCLD , Search Institute , Understood.org

So much of teaching happens behind the scenes.

Recently, our EBC teachers were preparing for the EBC Art Show by painting signs and taking the time to create something meaningful for their students.

It’s thoughtful. It’s intentional. And it takes a lot.

As we continue sharing Ellis this week, this is who we built it for, educators showing up every day, doing work that isn’t always visible, but makes a lasting difference.

Where science meets creativity 🐧

Sand Hill School students dove into learning about penguins in science class, then expressed their understanding through watercolor artwork. This integrated approach supports both comprehension and creative expression.

📣 New Voices of Compassion Episode! 📣

We sit down with Amanda Morin, Director of Academic Services at Compass High School, to explore what’s really happening in today’s classrooms – and how we can better support the people showing up for our kids every day.

In this episode, we talk about:
• What teachers are navigating in today’s climate
• How neurodiversity shows up in the classroom
• How tools like Ellis can support educators in real time
• What meaningful support for teachers actually looks like

When something is off at school, families feel it too. That is part of why CHC built Ellis. It helps educators make sense of student concerns and review guidance shaped by CHC and trusted partners, all in one place.

Competition for many teens isn’t just about grades – it’s about how little sleep they’re getting.

In this episode of Voices of Compassion, two Bay Area teens open up about what mental health really feels like today – what doesn’t help, and more importantly, what does.

From navigating pressure to embracing that who you are is already enough, this conversation offers real, tangible takeaways.

Turning blank space into something out of this world. 🪐

Sand Hill School students used stencils and spray paint to transform everyday trash bins into galaxy-inspired art. Along the way, they practiced planning, focus, and control—one creative step at a time.
