Our reach extends widely across the Americas region, including countries such as Mexico, Panama, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Argentina. We are creating partnerships with prominent school groups and networks who are interested in making an effort to build a global community of schools that prioritize wellbeing in the educational sector. Currently, we are launching into new markets in Europe and North America furthering our mission to drive positive change and innovation in education on a global scale.
In 2025, we have enhanced our innovation through the following initiatives:
School Flourishing Index Scientific Tool Update:
1. Teacher Wellbeing Integration:
Drawing from the work at the Oxford University Centre for Wellbeing recognizing teachers' essential role in supporting a flourishing educational environment, we have integrated new items and statistical data analysis to safeguard and promote teacher wellbeing and flourishing.
2. Integration of new algorithms to identify and prioritize sensitive factors related to student safety, wellbeing, and student-centered learning.
3. The Learning Experience indicator has been expanded and reviewed to include key elements of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), Inquiry-Based Learning, and Concept-Based Learning, ensuring student engagement and fostering deep, meaningful learning experiences beyond the classroom.
4. A live benchmarking system allows for real-time evaluations, both within schools (year-over-year) and across the global GPTS community, enabling schools to track progress, understand their global standing, and project future growth without relying on rankings.
5. Candidate Status is introduced as an opportunity for educational institutions that do not meet the minimum wellbeing score of 3.51 (out of 5) to receive comprehensive support, including tailored action plans and ongoing guidance, as they work toward achieving full accreditation in the next annual evaluation cycle.
