In the Learning Habit Study, we examined Grit and Grade Point Average (GPA). Grit is described as a child’s ability to persist through challenges in pursuit of a goal. Grit is a character trait involving self-motivation, determination, and tenacity. Across all grade levels, as Grit increases the child’s GPA also increases. This suggests that as children learn or adopt more grit traits,  they are more likely to have the resilience and ambition required to attain learning success and achievement.
