Wellness Focused
Attending to personal, community and environmental wellness.
Students’ physical, social and emotional well being are critical to high academic achievement and fundamental to a successful liberal arts program.
Our wellness program – which includes the opportunity for expanded physical fitness for all students – will dramatically improve student behavior, health, attendance, attitudes and concentration. Each student will be a member of an advisory group of just 10 - 12 students.
A Generation School’s small instructional groups will ensure student voices are heard and valued. Families and the local community will be welcomed and actively engaged as partners. The school will work to recruit staff who speak the home languages spoken by students and their families. An attention to wellness – individual, community and environmental – is authentically woven throughout the school design and evaluation.
Every student will participate in a carefully crafted service learning program designed to promote civic responsibility and individual, community and environmental wellness.
