Essential Question

We are strongly committed to Wellness. To what extent is our commitment to support and sustain a strong culture of student wellness reflected in our:

• Transfer and Application of Research-based Partnerships

• District-Wide:

• Scarsdale Teachers Institute: Courses that promote evidenced-based models linked to positive psychology and positive education

• Mission Statement, Scarsdale Education for Tomorrow 2.0  

• Whole Child

• Active Learning

• Elementary:  Inner Resilience, Linda Lantieri, founder.

• Middle School:  Positive Psychology: Positive Psychology Center (Penn)

• High School:  Challenge Success, Stanford University

• K-12 Approach

• Strategies to help students manage academic expectations

• Efforts to Inform parents, community, and the Board of Education

The District-wide Leadership Team reaffirmed that any iteration of a Scarsdale Education for Tomorrow 2.0 would prominently feature wellness and education of the whole child.  Among others, these elements complement our continuing dedication to offering a classic education that is taught in a progressive fashion.

Scarsdale students, parents, and faculty recognize that a high and intensive level of academics is associated with a Scarsdale education. For some students, this intensity is motivating and fosters superior work and performance. For others, a Scarsdale education causes unhealthy stress levels, based on a research study conducted by Challenge Success, Stanford University, in November, 2015 with Scarsdale students.
