SEL is supported through a combination of mental health care with school counseling activities, a strong emphasis on empathy in the learning approach, and structured opportunities for social interaction. The school offers more than 30 after-school clubs, which provide social and collaborative experiences beyond the classroom. Classes are small (12–24 students), enabling teachers to interact with and support each student, which supports social–emotional development. There is a 1:1 parent conferencing system that fosters partnership between school and family in supporting student wellbeing. The educational approach includes design thinking and experiences that cultivate empathy for others. Mindfulness-related practices, such as Yoga–Mindful meditation, and participation in Aqua-Tots (a water-safety program) contribute to students' wellbeing.
