Mindfulness Programs

Our vision is to nurture capable, confident, and emotionally mature students who perceive problems as opportunities. Together, mindfulness and SEL helps our students remain steadfast in pursuit of their goals.

Our mindfulness program teaches students how to handle daily challenges without being emotionally reactive. They learn how to self-regulate during extreme emotional states by learning how to recognize physiological responses to stress, anxiety, and other negative prompting events at school, at home, and more importantly, in life.
Additionally, our program focuses on tools that encourage empathy and perspective taking. Self Development Academy helps students develop mindfulness skills that allow them to be more present and less anxious, more aware and less reactive, more focused and less distracted.

We provide opportunities for bright, gifted students
