Guidance

Lower School years are a critical time for children to develop life skills that will set them on a path to success, such as self-awareness, navigating relationships, and understanding emotions. At the Lower School, our social-emotional approach supports our students in developing the necessary skills to thrive in every aspect of their lives.

In addition to facilitating social-emotional learning throughout the school, the Director of Guidance oversees the children’s individual emotional, social, and learning progress, collaborating regularly with the faculty and administration. The Guidance Team has monthly meetings with the teachers of every class, where they review how each student is doing. Students receive individualized support when necessary, including classroom observations, in-class interventions, or one-on-one meetings. The Guidance Team is always available to meet with parents about their child. We care about the development of every student, and our goal is to set each child up for success both inside and outside of school.
