Central to The York School’s approach to education is an appreciation for the importance of supporting the 'whole child'. What does this mean? Academic success is intrinsically tied to social and emotional wellness.
Hear from Elissa Kline-Beber, Director of Student Wellness, about how The York School's robust homeroom and advisor programme gives students the opportunity to nurture meaningful relationships with teachers and peers and explicitly address social-emotional learning and character building as well as all the other student wellness initiatives and programmes happening at school.
