Beyond academics, schools are increasingly focusing on Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) teaching students skills like empathy, self-awareness, and emotional regulation. SEL helps young people build healthier relationships, manage stress, and make responsible decisions.
With rising mental health challenges and social pressures, SEL is becoming essential to prepare students not just to succeed in school, but to thrive in life. Schools that invest in SEL create supportive environments where students feel safe, understood, and motivated.
