Our Student Success Coach Model
What is a Student Success Coach?
At ThrivePoint High School, we believe every student deserves personalized support to reach their goals. That’s why we’ve built our unique Student Success Coach Model—a one-on-one mentorship approach designed to guide students from enrollment to graduation and beyond. Whether you're learning online or on campus, your coach is your advocate, motivator, and biggest fan.
Student Success Coaches (SSCs) - also sometimes known as learning coaches - are dedicated mentors who work closely with students to help them stay on track, build confidence, and prepare for their Next Big Step. Each coach supports a small group of students—typically a 50:1 ratio—ensuring personalized attention and meaningful relationships.
Coaches check in regularly, help set goals, monitor progress, and celebrate achievements. They’re trained to support both academic and social-emotional needs, making sure students feel seen, heard, and supported every step of the way.
The Game Plan for Student Success
Our Student Success Coaches are more than mentors—they’re motivators, guides, and champions for every student. Their mission is to:
- Communicate clearly and consistently
- Encourage and celebrate progress
- Guide students through challenges
- Equip them with confidence and problem-solving skills
- Help identify strengths and areas for growth
- Hold students accountable to their goals
They build a winning game plan for each student and help them trust the process—because success isn’t just about academics, it’s about believing in yourself.

Real Stories From ThrivePoint Students
I love that ThrivePoint gives us the flexibility to support students in the way they need it most. Every day feels meaningful.
Brande Green
Student Success Coach
Working for ThrivePoint has been one of the best opportunities I’ve had in my career. What I love most about my job is being able to see students succeed, and to be the person I needed in high school. I also get the opportunity to build strong and unique relationships with each and one of my students, and that motivates me to continue to do what I do. Not to mention the wonderful staff I’ve had the opportunity to work with as well.
Ms. Briana
Student Success Coach
We’re not just checking boxes — we’re helping students build confidence, stay motivated, and succeed. It’s incredibly rewarding.
Jacob Magallanez
Student Success Coach
"I've always hated sitting in a classroom feeling like everyone else is moving at a snail's pace while I already understand the material. ThrivePoint changed that for me. With the independent learning setup, I can move as fast as I want through my classes, which is perfect because I don't learn the same way as everyone else. Some days I fly through a whole unit; other days I take it slow. I actually feel like school works for me, not the other way around."
