Grown(ish) is where real life begins.
The story behind Grown(ish)
Grown(ish) is proudly created by JPB Learning Design, an education-focused company dedicated to equipping people—including young people and their families—with the tools they need to thrive. We believe learning should be purposeful, accessible, and rooted in the real world.
Our mission for Grown(ish) is simple:
Create experiences that prepare teens not just for school, but for life.
Six topic areas make up the entire curriculum:
Identity building
Money matters
Adulting basics (organizational skills)
Communication & digital etiquette
Health, wellness & safety
Putting it all together
A Note from the Founder
As a parent of three teenagers and educator, I’ve seen firsthand how much our teens are expected to know—but aren’t always taught. Grown(ish) was born from that gap. I wanted something practical, real, and encouraging—something that would prepare teens for the messy, beautiful reality of life outside the classroom.
This course is my way of saying: You’ve got this, and you’re not doing it alone. Whether you’re a parent looking for support or a teen figuring it all out, we’re here to walk with you—one life skill at a time.
