What Educational Achievement Services does

Educational Achievement Services, Inc. (EAS) is a privately held, founder-led educational programs company headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, established in 1996 by retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Consuelo Castillo Kickbusch. The company develops and delivers culturally relevant student and family leadership curricula to K-12 schools, school districts, community organizations, and corporate and government audiences. Its core offerings are five trademarked programs: the Family Leadership Institute (FLI) ten-module parent curriculum; SLiCK, a five-module student leadership workshop for middle and high schoolers; iShine, a young-women empowerment program; Be The One, an anti-bullying program; and Shift & Rise, a young-men leadership program, plus a SLiCK 4.0 college extension.

The company's underlying technology is a codified curriculum delivered through in-person facilitation by staff who "reflect the community," supplemented by authored books and audio CDs (English and Spanish) distributed through an e-commerce storefront. Programs are not delivered via a software platform; there is no app, API, or disclosed digital delivery infrastructure beyond an upcoming "virtual learning community" announcement on easleadership.com.

EAS generates revenue through four streams: per-program fees for direct in-school delivery (SLiCK, iShine, Be The One, Shift & Rise); annual FLI Practitioner's Conference registration ($2,500 facilitator, $1,000 observer); two-year FLI curriculum site licenses at $5,000 per site with district pricing available; and product sales of books ($20) and CDs ($10) with free U.S. shipping. Distribution is sales-led and event-driven: direct phone/email contact (888-354-4747 ext 1, [email protected]), the annual Las Vegas conference as a practitioner certification and licensing channel, and the founder's corporate keynote engagements with documented Fortune 500 and government clients (Wal-Mart, State Farm, Ford, GM, Costco, Dell, Boeing, Nordstrom, Lockheed Martin, Avon, IBM, Verizon, The Hartford, NFL, U.S. Postal Service, DEA, Department of Education). Customer segments split between K-12 students, parents/caregivers, and school districts as primary markets, with corporate keynote audiences and community organizations as secondary segments. To date, EAS has reached over one million children and parents nationwide and graduated more than 15,000 parents from FLI.
