Self-Science
The self-science curriculum is designed to develop the communication and interpersonal skills necessary to be successful in a school setting and beyond. This weekly class focuses on giving students the tools needed to build a strong sense of self and effective communication skills. We also offer students a breadth of coping strategies for dealing with stress, peer pressure, conflicts, and decision-making. We celebrate diversity and teach children how to have a greater understanding of others.
