Open Circle
Open Circle is our Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum that involves weekly 30 minute meetings per class, facilitated by the School Counselor and classroom teacher.
Peter's Place
Peter's Place offers school-based grief groups for students who have experienced the death of a significant person. At this time, we do not have enough interest/enrollment to run a group.
Equilibria Counseling
We partner with Equilibria Psychological and Consultation Services to provide counseling services for our students. A licensed therapist can provide one-on-one therapy to children on a weekly basis, in the school building during the day. Equilibria accepts many private insurance plans, including Aetna and Keystone Health Plan East. Email me at z.artz@cpsphilly.org if you are interested in enrolling your child.
Comprehensive Sexuality Education
These lessons typically begin in February and are provided to Kindergarten through 5th grade and provide accurate, respectful, developmentally appropriate information to help young people communicate about and make informed decisions regarding their sexual health. Lessons focus on helping students develop confidence and healthy attitudes toward self-image and bodies, and understand the importance of consent and autonomy. Research shows that this education promotes healthy relationships, reduces risky behavior, and protects against abuse.
