At Prometheus School, we are on a mission to inspire and empower students. We believe that education is not just about academic success but also about promoting holistic well-being. For us, well-being is more than just the absence of illness; it’s a state of thriving in every aspect of life, encompassing physical, emotional, mental and social wellness. Our focus on cultivating a nurturing environment allows us to guide our students to become their best selves. Therefore, the goal is to help students thrive academically and personally by providing them with the tools and resources to navigate life’s challenges with confidence, resilience, and purpose.
Our approach to well-being is rooted in the principles of the International Baccalaureate (IB) learner profile, which emphasizes caring, agency, and resilience. We believe that these values are essential for building a culture of respect, empathy, and kindness that permeates every aspect of our school community. By prioritizing well-being, we are not only helping our students achieve academic success but also preparing them to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives beyond the classroom.
To support the well-being of our students, we have developed a range of programs and initiatives that focus on different aspects of well-being. For example, our physical and health education program encourages students to participate in extracurricular and community-based activities, while our social-emotional learning curriculum helps students develop essential life skills such as self-regulation, resilience, and empathy. We also provide early identification and intervention for students who may be experiencing social, emotional, behavioural, or psychological barriers to learning.
At our school, we embrace the PERMA model of well-being, which focuses on positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and achievement. We strive to provide a supportive environment that promotes cultivating positive emotions and developing a deeper sense of purpose and meaning in our students’ lives. By encouraging self-reflection, mindfulness, and meaningful engagement with the world around them, we help our students achieve a state of complete physical, emotional, and social wellness.
We are of the opinion that student agency and empowerment are essential for promoting a culture of well-being. Therefore, we encourage our students to take an active role in their well-being by providing opportunities to develop their leadership skills and be involved in decision-making processes that affect their learning and well-being. We also work closely with parents and community organizations to provide support and resources that promote well-being for everyone.
In order to ensure that our initiatives are successful, we regularly assess student well-being and use that feedback to improve our programs and offerings. We also offer a range of counselling and support services through a dedicated counselling department to ensure students can access the help they need to navigate life’s challenges. Our ultimate goal is to create a culture of well-being that permeates every aspect of our school community and unlocks the full potential of our students.
We invite you to join us on this journey towards well-being and to see for yourself the transformative power of a truly well-rounded education. Our school is dedicated to providing our students with the tools they need to navigate the journey towards complete physical, emotional, and social wellness with confidence, resilience, and purpose.
