Personal Development Seminars
Second and Third Form students are required to take a personal development seminar. The 10-12 week seminar addresses adolescent issues such as time management, nutrition, self-esteem, relationships, drug and alcohol use, and human sexuality. The approach is designed to promote communication skills, values clarification and effective decision-making skills. The adult-led seminar provides for peer discussion and an opportunity to explore development tasks and challenges that affect their lives.
Fourth and Fifth Form students will participate in periodic discussion groups led by house teams and outside speakers. Topics will include residential/community life, transition to college life, separation and loss, as well as human sexuality issues. These sessions will be conducted during the School day through the Dean of Students office.
