SEL is the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.

Children need social-emotional skills to thrive both in the classroom and in life. At HAES we believe that SEL will help our scholars:

• Gain confidence
• Set goals
• Make better decisions
• Collaborate with others in work and play
• Navigate the world more effectively
