Instill Confidence in a Child to Lead, Learn, and Level Up.

ACM is for schools, parents, and any adult who wants to help children build confidence, self-belief, resilience, and a drive for success. It’s not just for shy or struggling kids—our programs support all children, from quiet and reserved to outgoing and bold. Whether a child needs encouragement or is developing new skills, ACM helps them grow further and build leadership skills to thrive in school and life.

Confidence is the foundation for resilience, growth, and success. Confident kids believe in themselves, take healthy risks, and bounce back from challenges. With ACM, children are empowered to navigate life with courage, embrace opportunities, and reach their fullest potential.

Confidence development is the process of building trust in one’s abilities through practice, learning, and reflection. It’s not something you’re simply born with—it’s a mindset you can grow over time by facing challenges, learning from mistakes, and celebrating progress.

Confidence shapes how we act, grow, and make choices. When we feel confident, we’re more willing to try new things, take healthy risks, and bounce back from setbacks—all of which supports personal growth. Confidence is also rooted in values: as we practice honesty, kindness, and responsibility, we strengthen our character, which reinforces genuine confidence and positive behavior.

The 6 Steps to Developing Confidence are a simple, practical framework built around Courage, Character, and Commitment. They are: 1) Believe in yourself, 2) Face fears, 3) Be Good to Yourself, 4) Be Good to Others, 5) Regular Practice, and 6) Better Practice. These steps guide kids and adults to build confidence by taking small daily actions, learning from experiences, and showing kindness to themselves and others.

ACM programs are designed to support confidence growth at every stage of childhood. Our school curriculum serves students in PreK–8, while our parenting course offers tools best suited for kids ages 6–18 (though the principles work for any age!). Our Confidence Coach Certification focuses on teaching children ages 7–12, giving coaches the tools to help kids build confidence during these key developmental years.

The ACM programs empower adults as much as children. Parents, teachers, and coaches gain strategies to model confidence, lead with empathy, and create supportive environments. Many adults find personal value in these tools—inspiring one of our certified coaches to sign up for singing lessons after completing their training.

At ACM, we teach that confidence isn’t just a skill you practice—it’s a mindset you live. Kids learn practical steps—like facing fears, building resilience, and developing character—that shape how they see themselves and approach challenges. This mindset carries into friendships, academics, leadership roles, and future careers, creating a strong foundation for lifelong success and well-being.

Schools receive online training and professional development sessions to ensure a smooth rollout of the program. Coaches go through a comprehensive online Confidence Coach Certification training that equips them to guide children and run workshops. Parents don’t need formal training, as their course is filled with easy-to-use tools, strategies, and resources for home. All programs are available online 24/7, so you can learn at your own pace.
