Social & Emotional Learning - Next Charter School

Most learning is social

School should be a place that brings people together

Next Charter School has been designed to meet the needs of young people growing up in a dynamic and interconnected world. We believe that all students deserve to go to a school where they feel safe, are connected to those around them, and know that they belong.

To foster these

We have constructed a community that values both the individual and the group, by ensuring that all students have a voice and feel free to be themselves. Together we practice these skills and behaviors through a series of activities including:

Field trips
Community celebrations
Leadership council
Advisory groups
Community service
Daily community meetings

Habits of Mind

At Next we work hard to teach, foster, and model essential habits associated with healthy, productive living. These include:

Perseverance
Empathy
Communication
Self Knowledge
Curiosity
Flexibility
