• Wellness Programming and Education

  Winsor has a longstanding Wellness Education program with a formal class in grades 5–11. At Winsor, we focus on the education and wellness of the whole child. Our curriculum is adaptive to the ever changing needs of our students. Courses at Winsor are designed with guidance from the Social and Emotional Learning Framework, National Health Education Standards, Guidelines for Comprehensive Sexuality Education, and the Learning for Justice Social Justice Standards. At appropriate developmental stages, students develop self-awareness and cultural competence while practicing skills to manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships and make responsible decisions.
  
  

  Peer Support

  The Peer Support Program provides Class VII & VIII students the opportunity to support the school community through mentorship, social connection, and effective leadership roles. Students in the program accept the responsibility involved in preparing for, committing to, and participating in community support through upstanding behaviors and active engagement. Peer Supporters act as resource and referral leaders, connecting their peers to reliable information and to others in the community. Peer Supporters focus on three main objectives each year: community building, wellness education, and events.
