Your students are expected to navigate conflict, build healthy relationships, communicate with confidence, and make wise decisions, but very few have ever been taught how.
Through the COST Curriculum™, Kimberly Clark partners with schools to equip students and educators with a shared communication framework that strengthens school culture long after the workshop ends.
Why Schools Partner With Kimberly
Today's schools are carrying more than academic responsibility.
Students are navigating anxiety, peer pressure, identity, social media, conflict, and emotional overload.
Teachers are expected to teach while also coaching behavior, managing relationships, supporting mental wellness, and preparing students for life after graduation.
The challenge isn't that students don't care.
The challenge is that many have never been taught the communication and relationship skills life requires.
That's where the COST Curriculum™ comes in.

Our Solution
Introducing the COST Curriculum™
Every lesson begins with one simple question.
"What is this costing me?"
Students begin recognizing the hidden costs of:
• People pleasing
• Avoiding conflict
• Staying silent
• Weak boundaries
• Poor decisions
• Comparison
• Living for approval
Instead of simply hearing another motivational message, students leave with language they continue using every day.
Teachers leave with that same language.
That's how culture changes.
