The middle school vision at Canterbury hoolds that we must address the whole child and support their social and emotional well being. The meta-analysis below confirms something we've known for a long time: the more safe, secure, and happy children feel, the more they learn. Through our work with Developmental Designs (the entire faculty will be taking a week long course for the second training stage of Developmental Designs this summer), we are able to use the language and structures to promote a learnng community that has as its foundation sound social and emotional teachings.
