HS Program Highlight: Flex block
HS Flex Block
Scheduled free blocks of time in the school day provides CAC HS students with a break from academic demands, which helps reduce stress and prevent burnout. This time can be used for self-care activities, such as exercise, mindfulness, or spending time with friends, which helps our students feel more relaxed and refreshed. Additionally, scheduled free blocks of time provide students with opportunities to pursue their interests and passions, such as participating in clubs or pursuing hobbies, which promotes a sense of fulfillment and engagement. Finally, free blocks of time provide our CAC HS students with more flexibility in managing their time, which helps reduce the pressure of balancing academic and extracurricular demands.

Health and Well-being in the Elementary School
ES Program Highlight:
AGENCY
ES Student Agency
Promoting student agency in our CAC elementary school has multiple benefits for health and well-being. When students have agency, they feel a sense of ownership and control over their learning, which leads to increased motivation and engagement in learning activities. This will help reduce stress and anxiety and improve mental health and well-being outcomes. Additionally, promoting student agency aids students’ development of important life skills such as decision-making, problem-solving, and self-regulation, which contribute to a sense of competence and self-efficacy.
