Social Emotional Learning

Families often question whether their child is appropriately challenged at school. At its core, this question reflects an understanding that all children are naturally curious and eager for deeper thinking, meaningful work, and intellectual challenge. When children appear disengaged, it is rarely because they lack curiosity; often, the learning environment is not designed to unlock confidence and motivation.

Children learn when they are supported by a classroom culture that creates a place where they feel safe enough to take a risk.  Learning is difficult!  It requires us to feel a bit uncomfortable within the learning process.  This discomfort is what propels us to learn or continue learning.  At Cornerstone Chartered Public School we intentionally create spaces for children to successfully navigate their discomfort so they can learn to the very best of their ability.
