HEALTH & WELLNESS We believe in educating the whole child at VCS. Equipping students to make informed decisions about their Health & Wellness begins in K-1 and continues through graduation. From choosing nutritious foods at lunch to navigating the many challenges of adolescence, our entire program builds and reinforces students’ skills in mindfulness, managing authentic emotions, agency, self-advocacy, personal responsibility and more. Students also engage with outside experts through developmentally appropriate workshops that provide in-depth learning and perspectives on sexuality, substance abuse, personal safety and digital citizenship. Our school counselor coordinates all Health & Wellness programming for students as well as parents, refining and augmenting resources to meet the changing needs of modern families.
