Students Come and Learn Mindfulness (CALM)

Come and Learn Mindfulness (CALM) introduces students to a variety of mindfulness techniques to help them bring these practices into their daily lives. Each daily session approaches mindfulness differently and taps into the diverse expertise of our faculty. Scholarly research confirms that mindfulness practice decreases stress and anxiety, increases attention, improves interpersonal relationships, strengthens compassion, and confers a host of other benefits.

“Over the past several years we’ve noticed that teens seem to be coming under increasing pressures. To help our students learn a variety of techniques to manage their stress, we’ve created CALM. We’re excited to be able to offer these daily opportunities for our students’ well-being,” says John Spear ’88, Assistant Head for School Life.
