StudentsXpress

StudentsXpress Magazine is a nationwide student publication that gives PreK–12 students a platform to express themselves through writing, artwork, creativity, and character development.

Each issue invites students to share their thoughts, ideas, experiences, and visions for the future while exploring important topics such as respect, perseverance, compassion, emotional wellness, and personal growth. Using Respectful Ways modules as inspiration, students transform these concepts into stories, poems, essays, artwork, songs and reflections that showcase their unique voices.

More than just a magazine, StudentsXpress empowers students to build confidence, strengthen literacy skills, develop emotional intelligence, and discover the power of self-expression.

Art Has the Power to Change Lives.

When students see their words, artwork, and names published, they gain a greater sense of pride, belonging, and belief in their own abilities. Reading the perspectives of their peers helps them see new possibilities for themselves and the world around them.

Students also begin developing important college and career readiness skills, including communication, creativity, critical thinking, self-advocacy, and the confidence to share their ideas with others. These are skills that will serve them throughout their education and future careers.

At its heart, StudentsXpress is about helping students become the authors, artists, leaders, and role models of tomorrow, one story, one drawing, and one student voice at a time.

Here are just a few of our favorite covers.

StudentsXpress began in 2011 as a publication serving elementary students in Chicago Public Schools. Its success in blending creativity and literacy led to a partnership with Respectful Ways, expanding the opportunity to students nationwide and include a character education theme.

Today, schools, after-school programs, camps, and youth organizations across the country can participate, giving students a meaningful outlet to share their voices and inspire others.
