ÌÇÐÄVlog

Health and Wellness

Our students are immersed in an environment that challenges them to learn and listen, to share and stretch, to balance their commitment to their own health and growth with that of others at ÌÇÐÄVlog. Learning how to maintain physical and mental health and wellness is critical to this journey. While every adult at ÌÇÐÄVlog is dedicated to supporting our students, we offer additional, specialized resources to help students learn about self care for their minds and bodies, and we provide medical care and counseling when more acute needs arise.

Health Office

At our small, school-based health center and infirmary, we approach student healthcare from a holistic and developmental model. We work closely with families, local and home-based practitioners, and school personnel to assess and support students’ healthcare needs while they are living away from home.
