Philosophy for Children (p4c), promotes an intellectually safe, inquiry-rich learning environment to enhance and foster mindful thought and action. It culminates in quarterly p4c Community Days. Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is integral to our whole-child concept and we implement Choose Love K-6 to emphasize the inclusion of all students as a community. We teach behaviors that foster respect and caring for everyone through the tenets of: courage, gratitude, forgiveness, and compassion in action, to make connections to understand impulse control, problem solving, anger management and how the brain works through these. We integrate this with our organized play for safe, smooth transitions between recess and instruction.
