Why Schools Need This

77%

of students use social media several times per day. Frequent use links to more bullying and more sadness or hopelessness.

Nearly 1/2

of teens are almost constantly online.

3+ hours

per day on social is about double the risk for poor mental health symptoms.

The Urgency: What Schools Are Seeing Every Day

From disappearing messages to AI-generated content, middle schoolers are facing risks their parents never imagined.

  • Apps evolve faster than adults can keep up.

  • Students feel pressure to post, compare, and respond instantly.

  • Exploiters take advantage of private chats, filters, and "vanishing" features.

Students carry these pressures into the classroom. Without guidance, online risks spill over into mental health, bullying, and school safety.

A Program Built for Today's Digital World

The Social Code doesn't lecture — it engages.

Real-Life Scenarios

Students analyze real-life scenarios like fake DMs, edited influencer photos, and scam messages.

Engaging Discussions

Lessons spark conversations that stick, not just one-time warnings.

Easy Delivery

Designed by educators, the program is easy to deliver and requires minimal prep.

The Lasting Impact on Students and Schools

The Social Code transformed how we approach digital citizenship. Instead of reacting to problems, we're preventing them.

Sarah Chen
Middle School Principal

The Social Code helps schools shape digital citizens who are safer, kinder, and more confident online.

  • Students pause before posting and think about long-term impact.

  • Classrooms shift from reacting to digital crises to preventing them.

  • Parents notice their children making healthier online choices.

Safer students mean fewer incidents, stronger parent trust, and a healthier school culture.

Student Outcomes

Students leave the program with:

Confidence in making safer choices and posts online

Awareness of predator tactics, scams, and grooming strategies

Respect for privacy, boundaries, and location sharing

A positive personal pledge to guide future online behavior
