What is Reallyville?

Our Story

Reallyville was born out of the frustration experienced by teachers who were tired of the out-of-touch content and approaches handed down by higher authorities. We could see firsthand how ineffective these methods were in real-life classrooms. We knew there had to be a better way to reach and engage students, so we set out to create tools that truly make a difference.

Our Mission

At Reallyville, our mission is to help students build better lives for themselves by enhancing their community connections and education. We believe the most crucial elements in a student’s educational development are the relationships they form with adults in schools and their peers. By improving these connections, we can motivate students to work hard and thrive. Our goal is to create tools that foster these relationships and inspire students to achieve their full potential.

What We Offer

We provide a variety of tools designed to meet the diverse needs of middle schools, including both proactive and restorative solutions:

• Proactive Tools: We offer several proactive tools that help address problem behaviors before they happen. These tools include our comprehensive SEL (Social Emotional Learning) curriculum, designed to equip students with essential skills for emotional intelligence, empathy, and positive interactions. These tools help create a foundation for a healthy school environment.
• Restorative Tools: When problem behaviors do happen, our restorative tools can help. These include our innovative Restorative Labs that provide a space for students to address conflicts and behavioral issues constructively. These labs are designed to foster understanding, accountability, and personal growth, helping students learn from their mistakes and build healthier relationships.

Why Reallyville?

We chose the name Reallyville because we are committed to creating tools that resonate with students in a real way. Our content is designed to be engaging and relatable, steering clear of the typical cheesy educational materials that students often encounter. We also strive to address the needs and struggles of real schools dealing with time constraints, funding difficulties, and all that comes with managing a dynamic educational environment. Our goal is to provide practical, effective, and affordable solutions that can be seamlessly integrated into everyday school life.

Our Team

Our products are developed in collaboration with a diverse group of professionals, including teachers, counselors, child psychologists, and school administrators. This ensures that our tools are made by real educators for real educators, addressing the genuine challenges faced in today’s classrooms. Our team members have hands-on experience and a deep understanding of the educational environment.
