We're committed to schoolwide wellbeing.
Wellbeing is a strategic priority at ASH. In the 2019-20 school year, we asked the entire ASH community to be involved in a reflection on where we are as a school and where we would like to go. We considered our strengths, opportunities for growth, and the aspirations of our students, staff, and parents. We also surveyed the future of the work force and what the world will need to meet emerging challenges.

Being Well, Doing Well is one of four strategic ambitions to help us move closer to our vision. We heard loudly and clearly from all stakeholder groups that balance is important to our lives, and that we all need internal tools and resources to be able to carry out the important work of learning and pursuing our passions without wearing ourselves down.

The ability to access one's inner resources and take care of oneself is crucial in an increasingly fast-paced world. We will therefore prioritize the establishment of scientifically validated models of wellbeing for all members of the community.
