中A child must be well if they are to do well. We want every student to feel safe, happy, and valued.
We embed well-being in our curriculum, applying the principles of positive education and the PERMAH model (Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment, Health). PERMAH is an acronym for a model of well-being put forth by a pioneer in the field of positive psychology, Martin Seligman. Our positive psychology approach promotes flourishing and high levels of mental health by teaching and guiding children to use their personal strengths, express gratitude, appreciate positive experiences and emotions and set meaningful goals. In regular sessions, children build self-esteem as they learn how to cultivate traits like mindfulness, gratitude, and optimism — traits that will help them reach their full potential.
In addition to our overarching wellbeing curriculum, our Student Services Department provides additional counseling support to help students cope with the social and emotional challenges that all young people sometimes face. We employ a variety of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, such as cognitive behavioral therapy art to support your child's healthy psychological development. We also enforce a thorough safeguarding policy to ensure that your child learns in a nurturing environment free from all forms of harm or abuse.
