Character Education

John Baldwin uses a variety of character education tools to support our students, staff, and families in building a supportive and inclusive campus community through school-wide initiatives, classroom lessons, social emotional learning (SEL) and support, and opportunities to participate in school clubs/student council. Through these initiatives and opportunities, we strive to teach students empathy, conflict resolution, effective communication, emotional regulation, inclusivity, resilience, and perseverance.
