Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

In subject-area and Community Life classes, students develop self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, responsible decision-making, goal setting, empathy, and a growth mindset. The school prioritizes students' well-being within a safe and welcoming learning environment, and SEL is supported by a comprehensive after-school activities program and college and career counseling to support social and emotional development.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
