🧡 The Circle of Courage 🧡

At our school, we strive to nurture not just minds, but whole human beings. One of the guiding models we use is the Circle of Courage — an Indigenous framework for youth development rooted in belonging, mastery, independence, and generosity.

🌿 Belonging – Feeling safe, valued, and connected in community.

🔥 Mastery – Growing skills, confidence, and a love for learning.

🦅 Independence – Building responsibility, voice, and inner strength.

🌻 Generosity – Learning to give, share, and uplift others.

Inspired by Indigenous wisdom and supported by modern youth development research, the Circle of Courage reminds us that when children are surrounded by care, challenge, trust, and purpose, they thrive — and so do we, as a school community.

We are proud to walk this circle together. 🌀
