Lower Schooler Heart Hands

Student Wellness and Support

We believe that students thrive when they are physically healthy, emotionally supported, and socially aware. Our commitment to wellness is rooted in the understanding that learning and well-being are deeply connected, and that developing self-knowledge, resilience, and confidence supports both academic success and personal fulfillment.

 

Our Student Wellness and Support team—composed of learning specialists, counselors, health educators, and school nurses—works collaboratively with the professional community to ensure that every student is seen, supported, and empowered.

We provide tools for healthy living, effective communication, emotional intelligence, and social navigation, helping students better understand themselves and engage thoughtfully with others.

Health and Life Skills Curriculum

 

Health and Life Skills Curriculum

Student wellness is supplemented by life skills and health classes in the Middle and Upper School. These classes give students space to reflect, build self-awareness, and develop healthy relationships. In Middle School, students explore identity, empathy, and mindfulness. In Upper School, Health class invites deeper conversations around consent, sexuality, equity, and personal well-being.

 

 

Upper School Peers
Academic Support

 

Academic Support

Peer Tutoring can be a critical source of academic support, offering students personalized help from trained Upper School students. Support is available on campus after school, and virtually during evenings and weekends. Group sessions are also possible. Learning from peers who know the material and share similar experiences helps students grow in a relatable and supportive setting.
