The tree image below displays the 40 Developmental Assets addressed throughout our guidance curriculum. They are grouped into eight categories under the broad branches of external assets and internal assets. The Search Institute has done extensive research on the impact of these assets. Students with more of the developmental assets do better in school, have healthier lifestyles, avoid drug use, and are more likely to be able to resist peer pressure.
