Service Learning
Service learning,
or community service,
is an essential
element of the
Charles Hay
character education
program.  Students are encouraged to understand others’ need and to find ways to help support the school, community and people of the world through various projects and activities.  A service learning activity may be as simple as putting up the
flags outside everyday, or as involved as
establishing as partnership with another school
or organization.

The program, Bully-Proofing, is a  classroom curriculum that educates all students about bullying: what it is, what to do if one is the victim of a bully, and what can be done if one sees another student being bullied.

ICIB

Students who display an IB attitude are recognized by receiving an ICIB ticket from an adult or other student. At the monthly Cougar Roar assembly, several students who have received an ICIB ticket are publicly acknowledged.

Bridges Program

In our Bridges Program a class of primary students and a class of intermediate students become “buddy classes.” buddy classes meet weekly together with their teachers and a team of specialists to explore academic, cultural and character education topics.
