Social-Emotional Learning

Through a comprehensive process that engaged faculty and administrators alike, Hathaway Brown created Beyond Academics to describe the social-emotional journey of our students beginning in the co-ed Infant & Toddler Center (ITC) and Early Childhood programs through the all-girls K-12 experience.

Our deep dive into the social and emotional needs of our students at every age has codified HB’s long-standing practice of teaching students to understand themselves and others so that they can successfully navigate the demands of the world, be their authentic selves and approach life with balance, grace, and enthusiasm.

This document serves as a framework for our faculty, parents, families and community to comprehend the complex trajectory of social-emotional development through a girl’s formative years. It also functions as a cornerstone for our school’s SEL programming advancement and curriculum development in each division to best serve the girls of today as they learn for life.
