[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a child in an Episcopal school in another part of the country. While schools can very GREATLY even within the category of Episcopal school, the tradition has a strong focus on community and gathering, both of which as key elements to overall (v. just academic) well-being.  I know our school has also put a specific focus at the high school level on overall well-being and balance, and just completed a complete revision of the high school schedule with the goal of reducing overall stress, building time into the day for deeper inquiry into areas of interest, and promoting student well-being.[/quote]

Ditto to the first two sentences, though my child is in lower school right now! My child’s school continued community gathering meetings and weekly chapel over zoom during remote learning. While different, it was so critical to help maintain a sense of community and continuity. And as they returned to in-person school last spring, and also this fall, they’ve been discussing with parents how social-emotional learning and building connections are equally a focus with more academic work.
